Animated Mascot Costumes!

Do you want to REALLY set yourself apart from the competition? It is now possible to add animated features to your mascot character! Imagine- your mascot’s eyes could blink and its mouth could move! This would bring your costumed character to life in a whole new way! And the movement is completely controlled by the person in costume.

Adding this option could allow your mascot characters to perform for a show to a pre-recorded track. Imagine your mascot actually speaking, singing, etc! How cool is that?! Check out the mascot animation options offered by this company!

HAVE fun, don't MAKE fun!

How many of you have had an unpleasant experience with a costumed character or mascot? Did they single you out? Poke fun at you? Embarrass you in front of your friends? This is something you must pay close attention to when wearing a mascot costume.

If your costumed character makes fun of a patron or makes them uncomfortable, it reflects poorly on your business or organization. It is important that the person wearing the costume HAS fun with the patrons rather than MAKING fun of them.

It is also important to be cautious with children while in a mascot costume. If a child is fearful of the character, never force them to meet with or take a photo with the character. Let it be their choice!

Mascot and Costume Tip

Mascot tip of the day: It's important to determine what your costumed character will be doing before purchasing. Will the actor be sitting for photos? Will the actor be standing, walking around or running? It's important that you purchase a costume that has leg coverings that will be the appropriate length. For instance, if your mascot will be sitting for photos, you'll want a costume that has longer legs so the actor's ankles don't show. It's important not to ruin the illusion that the mascot IS actually the character!
