Bull’s design in Brawl Stars merges classic mid-century greaser styling with the rough silhouette of a western brawler. He relies on an exaggerated rockabilly profile: a towering pompadour, an open leather vest, and dark denim anchored by spurred boots. What transforms the outfit from an ordinary biker costume into the character are his distinct bull accents, notably the gold septum ring, the ram skull strapped to his shoulder, and his compact double-barrel blaster.
Because Bull has wide, cartoonish proportions, focus on clean garment lines and materials that hold their shape. The core clothing pieces are straightforward off-the-rack staples, allowing you to spend most of your effort shaping the wig, anchoring the shoulder piece, and finishing the shotgun prop.
The Pompadour and Septum Ring
Bull’s hairstyle is his most recognizable physical feature. An Elvis-style black pompadour wig provides the necessary volume along with thick mutton-chop sideburns right out of the package. Costume wigs typically arrive flattened from packaging, so place the wig on a styling head and gently backcomb the front roll to build durable structure. A heavy mist of firm-hold hairspray or styling glue locks the swept-up crest into place so it stays upright throughout convention wear.
His gold nose ring anchors his bull moniker. A clip-on gold septum hanger attaches comfortably to the nasal septum without requiring an actual piercing. Test the grip tension before wearing it out; it needs enough hold to stay positioned while talking, but not so much pressure that it irritates your cartilage over several hours.
Vest, Skull Patch, and Shoulder Armor
The upper body starts with a plain white crewneck t-shirt layered beneath a black leather biker vest. Bull wears the vest completely unfastened and sleeveless to show off his bulky frame. When selecting a faux or genuine leather vest, opt for roomy armholes so the garment hangs naturally over the tee without bunching around your shoulders.
A prominent white skull emblem sits across the back of the vest. A large 10.5-inch white skull embroidered patch provides the bold graphic scale needed across the shoulders. While these patches typically feature heat-activated adhesive, high iron heat can warp synthetic leather and rarely creates a permanent hold. Coating the back with flexible leather adhesive or running a simple perimeter stitch keeps the patch permanently secured when moving around.
Bull’s left shoulder features an animal skull mounted as a rugged pauldron. A lightweight plastic ram skull is ideal here because real bone or heavy resin would drag down the vest and restrict arm movement. Trim away the rear section of the skull casing until it sits flush against your shoulder curve. Fasten two wide elastic bands to the underside of the plastic, looping one around your bicep and attaching an anchor snap directly into the vest’s interior shoulder seam.
Jeans, Boots, and Biker Hardware
The lower half keeps to traditional denim and leatherwork. A pair of straight-cut dark blue jeans contrasts cleanly against the black leather pieces up top. Run a brown leather belt through the waistband loops to reinforce his working brawler aesthetic.
Tall black western cowboy boots provide the heavy foot profile Bull needs. Fasten brass cowboy spurs over the boot heels using their attached leather straps. Take a quick test walk on hard floors beforehand to verify that the spur shanks stay centered over the heel counters and that your jean cuffs rest neatly behind the rowels instead of snagging on the metal.
On your wrist, add a wide black wristband cuff bracelet. Bull sports tough leather hardware on his arms, and a single buckled cuff adds accurate texture without interfering with your handling of the blaster.
Modifying the Double-Barrel Shotgun
Bull relies on a stubby break-action double-barrel shotgun in combat. The Nerf N-Strike Barrel Break IX-2 blaster shares the exact side-by-side barrel profile and break-open loading motion Bull uses during matches. It gives you the proper cartoon weapon proportions straight away while remaining lightweight and acceptable under convention prop policies.
To turn the colorful toy into Bull’s weapon, wipe the plastic clean with rubbing alcohol and apply a coat of plastic primer. Coat the barrels and receiver in dark gunmetal or matte black, then drybrush silver paint along raised edges to suggest heavy field use. Finish the stock and foregrip in a warm wood grain brown, then seal the entire shell with a protective matte clear coat. Mask off the inner hinge mechanism during spraying so the break-action reload continues to function smoothly for action poses.
