Looking for advice/input on potential Luca wigs.

The costume I'm looking at:
I'm looking at his hair as fluffy/wavy, kind of a light-brown/strawberry blonde, longer in the back, and requires the flattened bang-antennae-thing.


Character: Luca Angelloni [info]
Series: Macross Frontier
Details: SMS Uniform




1. Dark Brown SUPA-FLUFFY Seller: professionalonly Cost: $27
+ I know and like this wig-seller.
+ SUPA-FLUFFY
- Requires a lot of triming and styling.
- Color too dark.
- Probably too SUPA-FLUFFY.



2. Short Ash Blond: Short Ash Blond Seller: wfp-wigs Cost: $36
+ Color is probably more accurate.
- Never bought from this seller before.
- Requires bang triming and styling.
- Wig not fluffy or wavy/curly, and doesn't have enough length to be made so.



3. Chestnut Raito Seller: cosplaywig Cost: $35
+ I know and like this wig-seller.
? Color?
- Requires bang triming and styling.
- Wig not fluffy or wavy/curly, and doesn't have enough length to be made so.



4. Carmel Syaoran Seller: cosplaywig Cost: $33
+ I know and like this wig-seller.
+ Fluffy!
? Color?
- Styling needed, bangs especially.
- Wig too short in back to be accurate.



5. Feathered Suzaku Seller: cosplaywig Cost: $30
+ I know and like this wig-seller.
+ Back hair length is good.
+ Little styling needed. Probably would just trim up bangs.
? I like the feathered style-effect done on the wig, but not sure it's good for Luca.
? Color accurate?
- Looks like the skull-cap of the wig is HUGE. (Can't tell if this is the wig or the wig head causing that look.)



6. Red-Brown Suzaku Seller: cosplaywig520 Cost: $38
+ Fluffy!
+ I like the wig styling mostly as is. Probably would just trim up bangs.
+ Back hair length is sufficient. May need to be shortened.
? Color?
- Never bought from this seller before.
- Needs curly flat-antennae-thing styled in



7. Brown Suzaku Seller: wigs-china Cost: $26
+ Fluffy!
+ I like the wig styling mostly as is. Probably would just trim up bangs.
+ Back hair length is good.
? Color accurate?
- Never bought from this seller before.
- Needs curly flat-antennae-thing styled in
- Must Bid, no "Buy It Now" like others being considered.


These are just my initial finds, so I'm open for suggestions and telling me if you think I'm headed in the right direction or not.

Disclaimer: I don't know if my suggestion will be "better" but I didn't have much choice in the wording. ;)

I have bought from wfp-wigs before and have been v. happy with both items. One was my Sarah Jane wig and the other was Lane's Draco wig.

I found 3 more wigs that you might consider, 2 from wfp and 1 from a seller I've not tried. They have varying degrees of fluffy and shortness and may not be what you are looking for, but as someone who has never seen the show, I thought they looked close.

Thank you!

I think those are all a little too blonde for me, but they look like nice wigs. I'll have to keep that seller in mind. (Can't see images on the 3rd link right now. Photobucket is blocked.)
