Arranged Wigs Animal Ears Bob Cat: How to Attach and Style

Quick Answer

Attach the KOTOBUKIYA Arranged Wigs Animal Ears Bob Cat wig by gently fitting it over your figure's head, aligning the cat ears forward, and securing it with a small dab of tacky putty or adhesive if needed.

How to Attach and Style the Cat Ear Bob Wig

1. Check Head Compatibility: Measure the circumference of your figure's head or model's head peg. The wig is designed for standard hobby figure heads. If the head is too large, the wig may sit loosely; if too small, it may look bulky. A common mistake is forcing the wig onto an incompatible head, which can stretch or tear the material. Test-fit before applying any adhesive.
2. Align the Cat Ears Forward: Place the wig on the figure's head so the cat ears point straight forward or slightly angled outward, depending on your character's expression. The ears are fixed in position, so rotate the entire wig to achieve the desired look. A common mistake is setting the ears too far back, which makes the wig look like a hat rather than hair. Check the ear alignment from multiple angles before securing.
3. Secure with Tacky Putty or Adhesive: If the wig does not stay in place on its own, apply a small amount of poster tack or removable adhesive putty to the inside of the wig cap. Press the wig gently onto the head and hold for 10 seconds. Avoid using superglue or permanent adhesive unless you never plan to remove the wig. A common mistake is using too much adhesive, which can seep out and damage the figure's paint or plastic. Less adhesive is better; you can always add more.
4. Style the Bob Hair (Optional): The bob wig comes pre-styled, but you can gently reshape the hair strands using your fingers or a soft brush. If the hair is stiff, warm it slightly with a hairdryer on low heat (keep 6 inches away) for 5-10 seconds, then shape it. Let it cool completely before handling. A common mistake is overheating, which can melt or warp the plastic fibers. Always test heat on an inconspicuous area first.
5. Final Pose and Display: Once the wig is attached and styled, pose your figure to complement the cat ear look. Tilt the head slightly or add a playful hand gesture to enhance the character. Check that the wig does not interfere with the figure's neck articulation. A common mistake is posing the figure before the adhesive sets, causing the wig to shift out of place. Let any adhesive cure for at least 30 minutes before posing.
