Giant inflatable capybara mascot for TY and Juratoys
In 2025, Digital Inflatables made a giant inflatable capybara mascot for the plush toy brand TY and for Juratoys SAS, the French toymaker that distributes TY exclusively in France. The smiling orange character wears a red heart reading “ty” on its belly and a smaller inflatable capybara on its head. The published video shows it inflated in a garden, standing on a grey ground sheet.
What did Digital Inflatables make for TY and Juratoys?
A giant inflatable mascot shaped like a capybara, with the brand’s red heart reading “ty” on its belly.
The capybara is orange with a smiling face. A second, smaller inflatable capybara sits on its head, and the red heart with white lettering is printed on its belly.
In the video, the figure stands on a grey sheet in a garden lined with a hedge; next to it, a person raises both arms, which gives a sense of scale.
The post’s caption thanks TY and Juratoys SAS for their trust.

Request a quoteHow is a giant inflatable animal mascot made?
Usually, a drawing or a 3D model of the character is turned into fabric panels, which are printed and then sewn together.
An electric blower then inflates the figure and keeps it under pressure while it is on display. Logos, such as a heart on the belly, are printed into the fabric so they stay sharp up close and from a distance.
Other giant inflatable characters follow the same principle, and the guide to custom inflatable lead times sets out the usual timeframes.
Why would a plush toy brand choose a giant inflatable character?
A giant figure takes the world of plush toys to a scale that draws the eye, at a trade show, outside a shop or at an event.
The inflatable deflates, folds and travels in a bag, so it can move from one event to the next and takes little storage space between uses.
