I used this place to hire a live Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story character to make an appearance. It was for a special even at a movie theater. We did like a promo there for the new Toy Story movie and we thought it would be a really fun idea to have Buzz himself come out in person to watch the movie! It worked out great and it was a really fun unexpected promo and surprise for the kids. It was easy to work with the agency and I made the arrangements in a couple of short phone calls.
I was VERY impressed with the queslity of the Buzz costume that they use. It looks really professional and for something you get from a local company it seems like they use high quality mascots. We do these promos couple times a year so I would definitely consider them for the future.

I was looking for anywhere I could rent or hire an actual Jimmy Neutron costume character for a kid's event. The problem was no one around here has that character available for rent. So after searching around a while I ended up finding this place, and I was surprised to see that they actually DO have the costume and it looks great! They can rent you the costume - they don't have someone to come out and wear it - but it's actually a better deal to just rent the costume and wear it on your own.
Their costume is awesome, it was brand new and looks super cool. We rented it for 4 days and used it a few times for a couple hours. It was clean on the inside and seemed very covid - safe. It was definitely a bit hot on the inside to wear but we only kept it on for like an hour or so at a time. It was pretty easy to see out of and for just basic stuff like picture taking etc it wsa just fine. The rental process was very easy and the company really came through for us. Next time we do this I will absolutely get in touch with them!

I used this company to rent an Elmo birthday party character. It was for an Elmo sesame street style party that we did at our house. It was in the backyard, there were about 20 kids there in all mostly ages about 3-5/ They loved the Elmo that came out. It was a really cute costume and it looked like the sesame street Elmo. He brought out a bunch of little games and activities to do with the kids.
It was for about an hour, was a little bit expensive like $250 for the hour but it was worth it cause the Elmo performer brought a lot of stuff to do with the kids. He did the stuff that's listed on their company's website like Hokey Pokey, limbo game and stuff like that. For the last 20 minutes, we had Elmo there while we brought out the birthday cake and sang happy bday with all the kids gathered around.
We got some really nice pics and the other parents were really happy. Lots of them asked where we got the Elmo. It seems like a really fun thing to do for a little kid's party especially if there are a lot of kids. For a once a year type thing it's good even for the amount of money it costs.

I used this company to rent one of the Paw Patrols Skye mascot costumes. It was for a girl's 3rd bday party. We had thought about hiring a live party character to come out but it was a small party and we really didn't want to spend the extra money to hire a live person. It's pretty expensive where we are located to hire live characters. So we just rented the mascot and that turned out great.
You can see in the pics that it's a good looking costume. It really does look like Skye from the tv shows and the fit was great. It definitely worked within our budget, we got the costume on the Thursday before the party so we actually ended up getting to use it for 4 whole days. Totally worth it for the money. It was pretty easy to wear the costume, yes it's hot inside and a little bit hot to wear for long periods but I think you could basically say that about more or less any mascot costume.
The main thing is that the bday girl was super happy and it added a nice touch to our party event. It was pretty easy to order from their website and then we just dropped it at the post office when we were done with it on Monday.

We rented the Blippi costume character performer from this place. It was for a 3 year olds bday party we had the party at his school. All his little friends were there and it was super cute to see them interacting with the character. Blippi came out for a hour and did some simple party games with everyone. The kids loved him and the Blippi mascot that they use looks great. It looks just like the cartoon character. I would say for kids under about 7 or so this is a good party idea, after that they are maybe too big to really enjoy a mascot costume character for for little kids it's just perfect.

I just rented a Cocomelon JJ character from here. It was a little expensive $350 for just one hour but the upside was they did an amazing job. The Cocomelon mascot costume they use is totally legit and looks fantastic. The kids had no idea it was a person in a mascot. The lady wearing the costume was fun and brought out some games and little toys for everyone. One hour was more than enough because the kids were small and mostly just seeing Cocomelon in person was enough for them. Plus we got some super cute pics. If you want a little treat and you don't mind paying a little more for higher quality, I'd say this is a good place to start.
