Accessories

Ciker Costumes provides the following mascot accessories.

Water Resistant Carrying bag – Specially designed to fit your mascot.

Ice Vests – Constructed to hold up to 4 ice gel packs.

Fans – Ciker Costumes can incorporate a fan discreetly into your mascot so that you don’t see a large vent whole on top of the mascot’s head.  Battery packs are also incorporated into the head to keep them more secure and prevent accidental injury.

Props – Custom designed props that work with the function and proportion of your mascot can also be made to order.

Puppets / Stuffed Animals – We can create an exact replica of your mascot to be used for prizes or prototypes for mass production.

Cleaning

We can help keep your mascot looking like new. Although we do provide cleaning instructions with each mascot costume, many clients like to take advantage of our professional cleaning service. 

After a major event or at the end of your season, send us your mascot and we will clean* and freshen it – inside and out – ready for your next event. And if you want, we will also properly store your mascot for you (instead of the trunk of your car!)  to protect it from dust, moisture or other damage. Contact us today for pricing.

*Although we spot treat stains, we cannot guarantee that all stains will be completely removed depending on the size, age and type of stain.*

Maintenance

After each use, wipe out the inside of the mascot head with a cloth and warm soapy water to keep the head clean and fresh. Do not use perfumes or deodorants on the mascot costume. These substances can damage or discolor the fabric and irritate other performers with allergies or sensitivities.

Check the following items for wear and tear after each use:

• Zippers

• Hooks

• Velcro

• Seams

• Shoe Soles

• Scratches (on plastic parts like eyes, noses, etc.)

By making minor repairs as needed, you will keep your mascot costume in prime condition for a long time.

Clean any spots on the mascot with a damp cloth. Portable stain removers, such as Shout wipes, are handy for small stain emergencies. The sooner any stain is treated, the easier it will come out.

Never store your mascot costume while it is still damp. Always make sure the mascot costume is completely dry before putting it away.

Following these maintenance tips will keep your mascot in optimal condition and provide a much more pleasant experience for those wearing the costume.

Refurbishing

Do you have a mascot that you’re not happy with or a mascot that has worn out and needs replacing?  Ciker Costumes can restore, renovate or replicate any existing mascot and make it even better!  Our skilled professionals can assess your current mascot costume and provide you with suggestions for improvement and updating.  The mascot seen below was made from a fiberglass base and the angle of vision (out of the mouth) caused the head to tilt too far back.   The client also felt that it looked a little too “real” and wanted a more characterized version of the animal.  Keeping the same design elements in mind we were able to provide the client with a lightweight, redesigned alternative with an updated look while still effectively representing the client’s brand!

In addition to the redesign, Ciker Costumes purchased the old mascot from the client through our Remascot recycling program to prevent it from ending up in a landfill. Some of the old components were then re-used to provide a new mascot to a charitable organization to help with their fund-raising efforts.
