It was incredibly difficult deciding whom to choose... we genuinely loved every single entry! If you didn't win, though, you are still entered in for a shot to win fabulous Yo Gabba Gabba! merchandise, including the near-impossible-to-find Muno or Toodee Fun Friends!!!

Now, let's get to the winners! (Click on any image to go to that specific story.)

"Christageous"'s family not only dressed as Muno, Toodee, Brobee, and Foofa, but also in their respective costumes from the "Halloween" episode!

"Mother of Pearl and Lovey too"'s Super Martian Robot Girl is true to the real deal right down to the green hair! Pearl's mother, Andrea, tells us, "The best part is how much fun she has when she puts it on!"

UPDATE!



We just had another Pirate Brobee plush become available! So now we are excited to announce a FIFTH winner!

"trickileprechaun"'s Toodee costume was a huge inspiration to us since although she said she didn't sew very often, she still pulled together this beautiful Toodee costume for her daughter, Rory! We love it!
