How much does a custom mascot costume cost?

 

The quick answer: A custom mascot costume will range in price from $3,500-$20,000

​

Why the wide range in price? The cost of a custom mascot costume is determined by several factors:

 

• Design: The more detailed the design, the more time it will take to create. More labor hours adds to the cost.

• Artwork: If you need design artwork of your mascot, there normally is a fee. Additional merchandise ready vector artwork is also an added cost.

• Materials: There are many materials available to create your custom mascot costume. Custom dyed fur or fleece will impact the final price of the costume.

• Desired delivery date: Most costumes take 6-10 weeks to produce. If you need your mascot costume sooner expect to pay a rush fee of $500+

• Quantity ordered: The first costume is called the "prototype." This is the most expensive costume since all of the patterns must be made. Additional costumes drop in price $500+ depending on the amount of mascots ordered.

At AMAZING!! Mascots our costumes range in price from $3,750 (a simple "Domino" mascot) to $12,000 (copyrights to the character) WITH MOST COSTUMES AVERAGING $5,500-$8,500

 

Some manufacturers will advertise prices lower than $3,500. These costumes are either:

• Poor quality (made using outdated/unsafe methods such as fiberglass or paper machie)

• Pre existing designs (what we call "stock" characters)

• Made outside the USA/Canada (poor quality)

​

We suggest getting at least 3 bids from custom mascot manufacturers. If you receive a bid from a Canadian company make sure they add shipping costs and duties to the estimate. These can add on hundreds to your order and are often not included in the initial bid.
