Mr. Hat cosplay O_o Any creative ideas?

Well, it's now a 4-person cosplay. A friend of mine stepped forward and said, "I wanna cosplay as Mr. Hat with you guys =D"
xD And I have no idea how to go about it. The clothing's simple enough, but what I need is ideas on how I can make him look like he's, well, made of wood.
and what should we do for his legs? Mr. Hat's legs are nonexistent.
XD Please help me out! I've never done a cosplay like this before where I actually have to be creative!

Unless you want to give them brown face-paint, as well, that's all I can think about.
Also must have the mustache and they'll have to squint, ahah.

I would say the best thing to do is have the same trousers/shoes/etc. as Zak/Valant. Good luck with everything, I can't wait to see what it ends up like!

xD Alright guys. Some of you may know that I'm in the middle of making a 3-person Troupe Gramarye Cosplay.

Make a cardboard suit of armor for him/her (ie wrap them in cardboard). Seriously.

For the legs, I'd say give him white pants, construct that thing on which he supports, attach it to his front, and make him walk next to your Trucy for the entire day xD

Mask... hmm.....
A wooden looking mask, perhaps, that exposes the lower jaw. All you'd have to do is then try to match the color of your jaw either with another mask piece, or just face-paint.
That way it gives a somewhat illusion of a puppet talking... I dunno.
I be quiet now.

For his face we were thinking of using ordinary foundation or powder to make his skin look darker, and using a brown makeup pencil to make lines like a piece of wood.
For his legs, we brainstormed the idea of making a pair of pants out of wood-patterned cloth (does anyone know if they even MAKE that? O.o?).

Take some cardboard and wrap it into cylinder and put that one someones head. Cut out small holes for eyes, maybe draw a little on it and you'll have a perfect mr.hat head for nearly free. srsllyyyyyyyy

Not a bad idea, but cardboard doesn't take kindly to being rolled up. It'd come out as more of a pentagon-shaped tube than a circle-shaped one. Though I could probably use posterboard or heavy paper instead =)

You should umm I think you should wrap a poster board like thing around your friend and try to hide the feet unless thats too hard to walk in. (off topic: I'd love to see your Troup Gramarye once your done, Troup Gramarye is pretty awesome).
That would definitely be too hard to walk in, but I may be able to wrap a separate piece of posterboard around each leg, between the joints (leaving the knees free to bend)

Believe me, cardboard can do more than you think
Spoiler: Present Evidence
Posterboard would work too, but it would be pretty susceptible to being dented or crushed and you would have to paint it. I suppose wrapping posterboard with brown wrapping paper would get the same effect. It would be a good idea to seal the posterboard or cardboard with a clear lacquer so rain or sweat doesnt destroy it. If you're looking for a realistic Mr. Hat, I'd do those over face paint.
I almost made a prop Mr. Hat for a friend... I might still do it...

It all depends on how comfortable the cosplayer wants to be though, too.
I personally like the pencil idea.

XD Wow. that's quite the creation. But, all the surfaces are flat. I need round. Though I might be able to find a carboard tube somewhere that's big enough to stick over his head. *head spins*

Yah, sorry Kazzu, but a car and a Mr. Hat head are kinda two different designs. What might work for one might EPICLY FAIL for another.

I too wanna see that o.o
Oh and I think the pencil idea was mine but it would be really hard to walk, but what you suggested earlier might work really well
