Thanks for all the info! I’ve edited the guide based on all the points you’ve given. I read the reviews on the temporary dye and a lot of people were praising it for the bright blue hue it gave out. It doesn’t seem like anyone bleached first. Of course, if you’re really going for complete accuracy, I agree that bleaching would be best.

To achieve the brightness of Mako’s hair you’d probably need to bleach it first, too.

2) You would definitely need something to weigh that chain down.

3) the belt clearly has a buckle fastened on. It’s pretty hard to find an actual PRDC one, but a similar one could be found online and substituted for about $10.

4) Are you kidding me? That staff is a red wooden Bo or Jo staff and it’s at LEAST 4′ in length, you can’t substitute an escrima stick. If you’re going for a cheap alternative a dowel cut to size and spray-painted red would probably be an acceptable substitute.
