Option 2. Using the Jake Sully costume above without the mask:
If you'd rather not wear the mask that comes with the costume above, but you like everything else that's included (jacket, pants with attached tail, blue arm sleeves), then you can make your costume unique by using blue face paint and a Jake Sully adult wig in place of the mask. Check out the wigs and face paint below...

- Jake Sully Avatar Wig + Face paint...OR...
- Jake Sully Avatar Wig + Mask
Amazon: $11.22 - $19.95
- This wig has the longer braid (compared to wig #2 below). The manufacturer states that the braid is hip-length, but it looks more like elbow length from the image.
Pros:
- Has a realistic look as it includes smaller braids that frame the front edge of wig. Longer braid is truer to the movie.
Cons:
- You may need a wig cap to keep your own hair in place
- The braid doesn't really work i.e., you won't be able to ride any Pandoran dragons :(

Amazon: $18.99 - $41.20
BuyCostumes.com: $18.99
- The braid in this wig runs a little shorter. From the image, it looks about chest-length.
- According to one customer review at buycostumes.com, the wig has more detail than it appears on the image.
- Spear not included
Pros:
- shorter braid length could keep it from dipping into the party punch bowl.
Cons:
- you may also need a wig cap for this Avatar wig. But try the wig on first before purchasing a wig cap. You may not need a wig cap, depending on your hair length.
This is a good starter kit. Just keep in mind that this kit may not have enough paint for a test run in addition to the paint you'll need for Halloween day.
