Digital Inflatables designed and made custom fur-covered inflatable capybara costumes, shown in 2024. Orange-brown, they carry a small orange and a green leaf on the head. The costume is worn like clothing, with a fan keeping it inflated around the wearer. It is used for walking acts, parades and brand events.

What does the Digital Inflatables capybara costume look like?

The video shows the costume in a dark room on a grey floor, with another identical costume at the edge of the frame.

The fur replaces the usual smooth fabric and gives the costume the look of a plush toy.

How does an inflatable costume work?

It is worn like clothing: a small battery-powered fan keeps it inflated around the wearer.

The shape is cut and sewn to measure, based on the chosen character. For a brand mascot, a drawing or a 3D model serves as the basis for the fabric patterns.

Battery life, the wearer’s visibility and how long it can be worn depend on the design: these points are settled during development.

Frequently asked questions

Can you have a custom inflatable costume made?

Yes: Digital Inflatables makes custom inflatable costumes, like this capybara in fur.

How long does the battery of an inflatable costume last?

It depends on the battery and fan chosen: run time is set during design, based on how long the performance will last.

Why choose fur for an inflatable costume?

For an animal character, fur gives a plush look that smooth fabric cannot; the workshop’s capybara is covered in it.

How does an inflatable costume stay inflated?

A small battery-powered fan blows air into the costume continuously while it is worn.

Can you order several identical costumes?

Yes: the video already shows another identical capybara costume at the edge of the frame.
