**Assembly:**
1. **Attach Hair:** Position the hair piece onto the head, ensuring the hair flaps frame the face. The front edge of the hair should be approximately 2-3 rows above the safety eyes. Sew securely to the head.
2. **Attach Helmet Band:** Wrap the gold ch-sl st strip around the head, just above the hair and eyebrows, to form the helmet band. Use the tail to sew the ends together and then sew the band securely to the head/hair.
3. **Attach Horns:** Sew the base of each horn to the sides of the helmet band, positioning them to curve slightly backward, as shown in the image.
4. **Attach Head to Body:** Sew the head securely to the body, ensuring it's centered.
5. **Attach Arms:** Sew the flattened arms to the sides of the body, just below the neck, aligning with the color change.
6. **Attach Cape:** Position the cape on the back of the body, just below the neck. Sew the top edge of the cape to the back of the body. You can also add a few stitches to the lower corners of the cape to secure it if desired.
7. **Add Keychain:** Using a yarn needle, thread the keychain chain through the top center of the head (through the magic ring of the hair or just slightly off-center if the MR is not directly on top). Secure the chain to the split ring. Ensure it is very secure to prevent loss.
