The Best Rick Grimes Cosplay Guide

Rick Grimes is undoubtedly one of the most popular characters in The Walking Dead TV series and the main antagonist. This makes him a favorite choice for a lot of people when it comes to cosplaying characters from the American horror TV series. To dress up as Rick Grimes, you have two options with this cosplay set. The first option is that you can dress up as Sheriff Rick Grimes, as the set comes with his full sheriff outfit, complete with the brown Sheriff hat and his silver revolver and a gun holster.

If you don’t want to dress up as Sheriff Rick, you can choose to dress up as the Rick Grimes, who is the leader of his group. This set also comes with the brown jacket that he usually wears throughout the TV series. The beauty of this Rick Grimes is that you can choose to wear whatever pants and shirt underneath the brown jacket, as the jacket is really the distinguishing factor of this character.

In The Walking Dead TV series, Rick Grimes became the de facto leader because of his background as a sheriff. Because of this background, Rick places a lot of responsibility upon himself to make sure that he and his group will get through this alive together. As you can see from the cosplay photos, Sheriff Rick is tough, strong, and has a strong moral code. But as the TV series progressed, though, Rick realizes that he cannot just be a regular sheriff that abides by the law.

He had to be even stronger and tougher to be able to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. And he had to learn this the hard way, experiencing a lot of difficult and unfortunate situations along the way. As you can see in the cosplay photos again, Rick Grimes looks much tougher and hardened than Sheriff Rick. Neither of them is better than the other, and cosplaying the character will really come down to your preference.

The thing that makes people hate Negan is actually also the thing that makes other people like him.

As a villain, Negan is really effective and ferocious, which is why a lot of people want to dress up like him, regardless if they are a man or a woman.
