You have a character your people already know. We bring it to life — for a match day, a street festival or an opening, anywhere in Germany. And when the costume starts to smell or a seam gives way, we handle that too.
No costume hire, no characters of our own. A small team that takes your character seriously.
Prices are on this page because we think they belong here. You should know where you stand before you write to us.
All prices are starting prices. What a booking actually costs depends above all on duration: one appearance block at a club event is a different thing from a trade-fair day with six of them. Add to that the work for choreography or filming, if you need it. Send us the date, the location and the planned duration — and you get a firm figure, not a range.
All prices are quoted plus travel. Within 50 km of Duisburg travel is included; beyond that we charge €0.50 per kilometre from Duisburg. From roughly 300 km an overnight stay is added: €80 to €120 per night, against receipt and with nothing on top. You get the total in the quote beforehand — not as a surprise on the invoice.
We step into your mascot and perform it. Not a figure that waves, but a character with an attitude that matches your brand.
from €175
Someone has to keep the mascot’s path clear, manage photo requests and call a stop when the crowd closes in. We do that, or we brief your people.
from €90
Costumes smell, seams tear, fur mats. We sort that out on site — usually alongside a performance, otherwise by arrangement.
from €50
A mascot is not a costume somebody wears, it is a role somebody plays. We come from performance, we have spent years inside characters, and we bring a craft you cannot see from the outside — but notice immediately when it is missing.
We take on your character, not some generic one. Posture, walk, favourite gestures, what it does and what it would never do — we agree all of that in advance and hold it for the whole booking.
Inside a costume there is no facial expression. Everything runs through body and timing: shifting weight, waiting, being surprised. That is a craft you learn — and it is the difference between a character that lives and someone who waves.
From an entrance routine to a full stage number. We learn choreography and can still do it when the music starts early.
Children, guests, press. Anyone who is frightened is not pushed; anyone who wants a photo gets one. We read the situation instead of running through a script.
Where the character allows it and safety permits: jumps, slapstick, agreed set pieces. Always discussed beforehand, never improvised at the costume’s expense.
Video and film shoots, commercials, social media clips. Repeatable takes, continuity across setups, and the patience for the fourteenth run.
We do not pull our own role over your costume. How your character moves, what it reacts to, what it would never do — we work that out beforehand and then disappear into it completely. People who know your character should recognise it. People seeing it for the first time should believe it is real.
We are new enough not to have a reference list yet. Instead of client quotes we cannot show you, here is what we commit to — and what you are entitled to hold us to.
Appearance blocks, breaks, changing room, named contact — in writing and agreed, not improvised on the day.
Inside a costume it is hot and you can barely see. We keep to the agreed performance and break times, even when things are going well. That protects the person in the costume and your character.
Aired and cleaned after every booking — on site. We do not ship costumes and we do not take any away. With a condition report on request, so you know how much life your character has left.
It started with Fons in Duisburg. By now we are a small team — people who perform in costume, people who handle, and someone who sews. Who comes to you depends on what you need.
Mascot performance is not a side job for us: body language without a face, timing, and the instinct for the moment a child gets scared.
