Futurama Costumes

MarigoldTortelli by MarigoldTortelli

Do you want a unique costume for Halloween? Why not Zoidberg...

Futurama, the long-running and popular cartoon by Matt Groening, has many interesting characters to choose from for a costume idea. A few of the characters are simple to do. Some of them require major do-it-yourself skills which I don't have, but I'll point you in the direction of people that do have the skills to make a complex costume. So come board the Planet Express ship and meet the characters.

“People said I was dumb, but I proved them.”

Philip J. Fry

Fry is the delivery boy for Planet Express. He was frozen at the very end of the twentieth century and wakes up at the very end of the thirtieth century. He has gelled-up orange hair and wears a white t-shirt, jeans, a red jacket, and black sneakers.

Fry's Hair

For the more expensive option, there's this custom-made Fry wig.

I've also added some patches that can be sewn onto clothes for any of these costumes (or your regular clothes if you wish to show your appreciation for this awesome show during the other days of the year). There are other extra items at the bottom of the page.

“I guess you never outgrow being an eyeball. Oddball!”

Turanga Leela

Leela is a mutant cyclops who is the captain of the Planet Express ship. She has purple hair pulled back into a ponytail with the bangs swept to one side. She wears a white tank top with black pants and boots.

Leela's Eye

Leela's eye will be the most difficult part of the costume. A horse fly mask covers a horse's eyes with an opaque material but still allows the horse to see out. You can buy a horse fly mask and cut an oval out of it that will cover almost half your face and draw a black dot in the middle for the pupil. Her eye is an oval shape going horizontally. Poke small holes on both sides of the oval to thread stretchy strings through it to wear it like a mask.

This Nibbler plush will go perfectly with any Leela costume.

Wrist Lojackimator

Leela wears a multifunctional armband on her right arm. Use a piece of light-green construction paper and color the large oval and two smaller circles with a dark green crayon. Put the construction paper over a piece of poster board to keep it from crumpling while you're wearing it. (If you can find light green poster board then that would be perfect.)

“I was too cute so I had cuteness reduction surgery here and here.”

Amy Wong

Amy is the Planet Express intern and a graduate student from Mars who eventually gets her PhD. She wears a pink sweat suit that shows off her stomach and has short black hair that's teased out. She wears pink boots.

Amy's Wrist Lojackimator

Amy has a small wristband that is light green with darker green ovals going horizontally along her wrist. It's a smaller version of Leela's except the ovals and circles go along her wrist instead of up her arm. Just like with Leela's, you can use green construction paper over poster board (or just green poster board) to make Amy's wrist lojackimator for your costume.

“Sweet Yeti of the Serengeti!”

Hermes Conrad

Hermes is the accountant for Planet Express. He is a proud bureaucrat who loves his job. He has brown dreadlocked hair and glasses and wears a green suit with red shoes. He usually carries a clipboard. For the suit, any suit will do with a yellow shirt and no tie. (It's really hard to find a green suit).

“Second.”

Scruffy the Janitor

Scruffy is the janitor that appears from time to time. The main characters sometimes forget who he is, but he has been known to have strong company loyalty. He wears a dark blue jumpsuit with a white t-shirt underneath and a tool belt. He has a red baseball cap and a white mustache.

“ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!”

Hypnotoad
