Wig Help?

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area!

This lovely boy is Adam, my Bobobie Weylin. I want to cosplay him as Link from the Legend of Zelda game series, the costume is the Twilight Princess one. I'm having issues finding a good wig for him, as well as boots... does anyone have any suggestions? He wears a size 8-9 wig and his feet are 7cm long and almost 3 cm at the widest point. I need a sandy light brown/dirty blond color Image

Like so!

Any suggestions as to which company or just wig with this general style and color? I'd fix it up a bit to fit the image better but any help would be wonderful, thank you! :D

(Again sorry if it's in the wrong area!)

Perhaps you can get a custom fur wig? Or maybe just buy a fur wig off ebay, and style it? As for boots, I don't think I've seen ones like that, but you could buy some plain ones that are the right length, and cover them with fabric? Looking forward to seeing it though, when you get it all done, I love the Legend of Zelda Series. :D

Thanks for the suggestions! I've been thinking the same thing about getting a new fur wig to style but I won't give up on looking as I go! I'll definitely post pictures when I'm done! Maybe I'll have him go on an adventure =w= Although I'm not sure how to do the earring without actually having to mod him but I don't want to do that to my little boy! 8^8 I'll find a way!

Earrings can be temporarily attached by using a bit of hot glue (well, the cooler version of hot glue). If it's a ring style earring, just get a jump ring, open it enough to put it on the ear and it will probably hold itself on long enough for cosplay without having to do any modding to the doll :)

You might find boots you like at Junkyspot.com, Mint on Card, Doll Mansion, or Alice's Collections. They often have a lot of shoes. Junky is my favorite of course, but he doesn't always carry lots of shoes. I've seen tutorials even on making shoes.

Junky has a blond fur wig that might work, it fits my BBB Apollo just fine.
