For a catalogue model customised by RedBrokoly, a full costume costs 696 € to 816 € excluding VAT for most models, and a head only costs 426 € to 496 € (most are 466 €). A fully custom project has no fixed range, because it is priced by a free quote after the team reviews your logo, sketch or idea. In both cases production takes about 10 working days after the design is validated.
What differs in design and materials?
With a catalogue model the shape already exists and the shop customises it. With a fully custom project the costume is designed from your logo, sketch or idea.
A catalogue model is a ready-to-customise base. You see the character before you order, and the customisation work stays focused on the details you want to change.
A fully custom project starts from your own material. A mock-up is prepared first, and this route suits more complex shapes that no existing model covers.
Rather than 'budget' and 'premium', the useful question is how much of the design is already fixed and how much must be created. Ask for the materials and construction details in writing on any quote, whichever route you choose.
How do lead time and price drivers compare?
Production takes about 10 working days after the design is validated on either route. The difference is the time needed to reach a validated design.
A catalogue model usually needs fewer design steps, so it tends to reach validation sooner. A custom project adds the quote and mock-up stages before validation. A Fast Delivery option produces in 24 hours. Ask whether it applies to your project.
For catalogue models, the price range is set: 696 € to 816 € excluding VAT for a full costume on most models. A head only is 426 € to 496 €, and most are 466 €. A custom project is priced individually.
- Complexity of the shapes and of the design to be created
- Full costume or head only
- Optional extras such as a cooling vest, balaclava, gloves or a bag, and an extra pair of shoes
- Tracked delivery, shown with its cost before payment
- Customs fees for orders outside the EU, shown at checkout and in the quote
When does each option fit?
A catalogue model fits when an existing character is close to what you need. A fully custom project fits when your character, logo or idea has no equivalent in the catalogue.
Choose a catalogue model customised if you want a known price range, a shorter path to validation and a character you can already see.
Choose a fully custom project if the mascot must match a precise logo or sketch, or if its shape is complex and needs a mock-up before production.
- Catalogue model: clear base, set price range, quicker design stage
- Custom project: freedom of design, quote and mock-up, more complex shapes
What should you check on any quote?
Check what is included, what is optional and what is added at the end. A clear quote lets you compare the two routes fairly.
A complete costume includes the head, body, gloves and shoes. Confirm that each item is listed, and note whether you want an extra pair of shoes or other options.
Prices exclude VAT and taxes. Orders outside the EU can carry customs fees, shown at checkout and in the quote.
The warranty is 2 years. The delivery time and cost are shown before payment.

How do you decide between the two?
Start with the character. If a catalogue model is close, customise it. If nothing matches, ask for a custom quote.
Send your logo, sketch or idea through the quote form. The quote is free and without obligation, and the team replies within 24 hours.
You can then compare the catalogue price range with the custom quote on the same points: inclusions, extras, lead time, delivery and taxes.
