Factors that push the price up

Size and complexity of the head — the single biggest factor in the cost of mascot costumes
Moving parts: blinking eyes, an opening mouth, articulated hands
Non-standard fur colours that need a custom dye batch
Small toy quantities — tooling and testing cost the same at any volume
A rush deadline that pushes other jobs down the queue

Extras you can skip

A second set of liners — buy them later if the costume gets heavy use
The wheeled transport bag, if your costumes never travel
Full 3D modelling, when your mascot already exists as a clean vector
Sizes at the extremes of the soft toy range — stick to 25–35 cm for retail

Frequently asked questions

How much does a mascot costume cost?

A custom mascot costume costs from €1,250 incl. VAT. Where a particular costume lands above that depends mostly on the size and complexity of the head, moving parts, fur colours and how soon you need it. We quote mascots individually, so send a sketch and you get a firm figure.

Why will you not publish a fixed price list?

Because a 1.6 m bear with a static head and a 2.2 m dragon with a moving jaw are different products. A fixed list of mascot costumes would either be useless or dishonest.

Can we pay less?

Usually, by dropping extras rather than quality. The list of extras you can skip, above, is where we start.

Do several mascots cost less per costume?

Often they do, because the design, the 3D model and the patterns are made once. If you need two costumes of the same mascot, for back-to-back shifts or a second venue, ask for both in one quote.
