Animal Crossing Costumes Released To Celebrate National Day
If you were stuck at home searching for games to play during the ‘Circuit Breaker’, it would have been impossible to ignore one of them – Animal Crossing.
Everyone seems to be playing the Nintendo game these days, and it’s gotten so popular in Singapore that a line of local costumes has been released just for Animal Crossing characters.
PCF uniform on Animal Crossing harks back to simpler times
The PAP Community Foundation’s (PCF’s) pre-school uniform is a familiar sight for most Singaporeans.
This 1990s iteration will give you a dose of nostalgia as you recall the good old, carefree days of being a pre-schooler.
Made-in-Singapore superhero
Those young at heart would also remember Singapore’s very own superhero, VR Man.
Singaporeans might have found this local superhero to be ripe for mockery at the time, but that was also what made it such a hit.
Thus, the superhero is part of our history, and we’d love to remember it with this costume.
Comedic character
If you like Phua Chu Kang, you may also be a fan of another local comedy icon, Liang Xi Mei, who’s definitely an iconic character.
Her outfits are also available as Animal Crossing costumes.
The iconic role was also reprised by director-actor Jack Neo recently when he once again donned the middle-aged drag persona to record a music video on Covid-19.
Life as a mascot
Singapore’s mascot, the Merlion, has always been such a mysterious creature.
The national personification of Singapore is a mythical creature with a lion’s head and the body of a fish.
With this Merlion-inspired costume, you can be patriotic while experiencing life as an anthropomorphic creature.
