air-inflated WalkAround mascots
It's what's inside that counts. People have more fun wearing WalkArounds. Even the most reserved individuals almost always turn into funny entertainers once they "zip up." This translates directly into a better experience for the audience and customers.
Additionally, most WalkAround mascots can accommodate a huge range of wearers. Our average costumes accommodate wearers from 5' tall to 7' tall - and can be operated just as easily by a 100 lb. high school student as a 300 lb. adult.
traditional "fuzzy" costumes
Performing in a fuzzy costume is like being a mime (a mime with poor vision balancing a 10 lb. brick on his head): it takes a very talented person to be effective. Because their actions are so directly visible, the average person will often feel silly and awkward performing in front of strangers in a fuzzy costume.
If you have that professional mime on staff, make sure he fits into the dimensions allowed. Most fuzzy costumes have very specific size restrictions for the wearer.
