With a threading needle, make a running stitch along top edge of the cape, in and out of the rounds (see picture above).
Once you get to the other end, pull the thread firmly to shorten that end a bit.

Use the long thread to join the collar to the top of the cape (the side that you shortened in the step above).

Finishing & Assembly

Sew arms to the sides of the body using the long threads left from the arms. Attach the wig to the head as directed, and position the layered pieces so they cover the head evenly. Join the cape and collar and position them around the neck. Make any final adjustments to stuffing and shape before weaving in all loose ends. Check eye placement and secure eyes firmly.

This finished amigurumi makes a whimsical display piece or gift for fans of the character.
