Baldi Skin
Baldi has quickly become the most famous character in the Minecraft community after the release of Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning, an indie horror game based on educational video games from the 80s and 90s.
Baldi is the game's antagonist that hits your hands with his ruler. This Minecraft skin does not have the infamous ruler, but everything else, including the original character shading, is fully present.

Mobile Legends Skin
This Minecraft skin showcases one of the best characters from Mobile Legends -- Bruno. Even if you don't pay Mobile Legends and not familiar with the character, it still looks extremely cool.
Bruno is half cyborg and half human. His legs are synthetic, which make him extremely fast. In the original game he also uses an energy ball as his main weapon, so sometimes he is also referred to as Street Football hero.

Captain America Skin
Captain America, one of the main protagonists of Marvel's cinematic universe, has changed a lot since the very first film. This Minecraft skin focuses specifically on his latest official look from The Avengers: Infinity War movie.
Here Captain America also grows a beard, which accords to his look in the latest Marvel film. As for his suite, it has become darker and more militaristic-looking, which is not a bad thing at all.

Thanos Skin
Here is another famous character from Infinity War, but this time it's the movie's main antagonist -- Thanos. He's wearing his trademark gauntlet with six gems that give him the power to do anything he wants.
This skin is very well made and it has everything: the spectacular chin, the characteristic golden-blue uniform, and of course the gauntlet itself. Too bad the gauntlet isn't functional, otherwise you could erase half of your friends from the server.

Zero Two is an artificially created being that most of all desires to become fully human.

Five Nights at Freddy’s Skin
This skin from the FNaF series of video games specifically refers to Springtrap, an old animatronic rabbit doll that haunts the staff at Fazbear's Fright. The skin is exceptionally well-detailed showing all the little tears and scrapes which cover the entire body of Springtrap.
The FNaF fans will instantly recognize the Springtrap, so now you can haunt everyone using this cool skin on your server.
