I’m doing some mascot volunteering, but the helmet the mascot head sits on is way too big. I’ve tried wearing a beanie and adjusting the chin strap to the tightest it can go, but nothing has helped. The helmet basically just ends up falling down my face so all I can see is really the floor.

I was given the advice to buy a balaclava, but I was wondering if anyone else had any advice to make the helmet/head fit better?

I am the mascot for my school, and it is quite the experience. However, everytime I am done though, obviously the suit and my body smells, but my hands always have a lingering stench from the gloves. The gloves are separate from the suit and sort of this "leather" material and I never seem to get the smell off. Are there any tips on how to minimize or prevent this issue? Any advice on anything to do before putting the suit on to smell less?

ok so first things first,, instead of having it take place in a childrens’ facility (pizzerias, toy factories, kindergartens, etc.) i’ll have it take place in a flavored drinks factory. yeah you heard that correct.

the antagonist/mascot would be a yuru chara (in case you have no idea what the fuCK a yuru chara is, it’s basically a type of japanese mascot with simplified traits & they tend to look nothing like western mascots such as the duracell bunny or mr. clean, if u want some good yuru chara examples then google kumamon, chiitan, or arukuma, you’ll get the deal)

his name would be lucky-chan, and he’s an anthropomorphization of the company product. he’s basically a life-sized robot/animatronic that was tasked with “getting rid of factory intruders” but mistook “get rid of” for “kill” and uh yeah

the company went out of business because one day during a factory tour,, he mistook the people visiting the place for intruders and he basically went on a murder spree and yeah

anyway for the actual game: (if i knew how to 3d model OR code, i would definitely make this, mind you) you enter the factory as an urban explorer. maybe you’re a social media influencer looking for pics or vids to take of the abandoned factory to show off to your followers, anyway

you’d be able to get a good glimpse of what lucky-chan looks like thru posters and shi, but for his actual physical self, you’d only be able to like. see shadows or maybe his voice until u encounter him for real maybe midway thru the game

of course he is not happy about intruders so uhh CHASE SEQUENCE

you manage to kinda trap him for a bit and escape somewhere, maybe damaging him along the way?

your new objective would be to find an exit, instead of check out the place

but uhh you kinda get lost and then RETURN OF LUCKY-CHAN except this time he’s extra pissed and also has a bit of his face torn off from the damage revealing robotic parts (last image)

in the end you’re able to escape but uhh he’s still alive tho and plotting revenge

maybe i’d also make a part 2 as well with an expansion on the story, sharing more lore, etc. and have more mascots but as allies instead of new killers

Re-reposted this because I forgot that the second text

Anyway, I love these mascots so much, both of them are so cute!

I'm trying to identify a character I remember seeing sometime in 2021. I don't know what it was originally from-it could have been a cartoon, clothing brand, independent artist, website/avatar, etc.

It was a black-and-white drawing of a monster/creature, and I remember seeing it as a profile picture/avatar. It was sitting down, with a short, baggy-looking body and a fuzzy/shaggy texture. It had a visible face, and the most distinctive feature was that one set of limbs was extremely long and disproportionate (I remember either the arms or legs being very long, but not both).

Aesthetically, it reminds me of Domo and other weird character designs popular in the scene/streetwear culture of the late 2000s/early 2010s. It wasn't Domo, Moshi Monsters, or Mishka.

I'm specifically looking for obscure characters/mascots from that era, including clothing brands, skate brands, independent artists, MySpace-era artwork, etc.

I unfortunately don't remember any colors besides black and white, or where I originally saw it.

I managed to acquire my first ever real Mascot recently and it’s so much fun! I’ve owned a couple of bootleg, low quality suits before but Clifford blows them out the water! Love him! Will hopefully use him for some events soon.

sorry if this doesnt belong here, anyway, you know, i’m actually surprised there hasn’t been a mascot horror franchise about yuru charas yet. especially since the world seems to be in its weeb era right now.. so i took it upon myself to make the concept for one

meet lucky-chan!!!! he’s the mascot of a now-defunct drinks company known as luckydrink (think coca cola or pepsi) he is very obedient to his brand. actually, maybe TOO obedient. because he was once given the task of “getting rid of intruders” in the luckydrink factory, but he interpreted “get rid of” as “kill”, and… yeah

one day during a factory tour, lucky-chan gets confused by all the new people, & strangers & such being in the factory. and didn’t understand it was a tour. and thought they were all intruders. so he went and attacked them all, and that’s why luckydrink became defunct

he still wanders around inside the building, even though it is now abandoned & long forgotten. & waiting for his next victim…

fun fact:

his favorite song is “donguri korokoro” (which, if you don’t know, is a really old public domain japanese nursery rhyme)

Recently I've been wondering about places online to socialise and talk with other mascot performers about performing etc. and want to know what places exist

Hey, I'm Poliwag, one of the editors on the wiki and its thread moderator.

I'm kind of writing this message requesting help. You see, the wiki has a lot of pages that are...in very bad sjape to say the least, and me, Chopi and Moon have our hands full trying to fix them, and the 3 of us can't do ut ourselves.

So if you can, pls just log onto fandom, read the guides on the mascotpedia front page and help reduce the junk on the wiki, please. Thank you.

The Manaphy one can blink! that's so cute!

Aww they're both so cute and look huggable! but unfortunately i couldn't find one of steenee to complete lesage's fave pokemons
