Oddbods Mascots

Custom Mascots and Character Costumes in Australia

Oddbods Mascots is an Australian company dedicated to the design and manufacture of custom mascots and character costumes. Its work spans from the initial creation of the character to the ongoing maintenance of the costume, serving both businesses looking to promote their brand and schools, sports teams and organisations in need of an institutional mascot.

The firm presents itself as a specialist in one-of-a-kind commissions and states that it manufactures its mascots entirely in Australia, using high-quality materials and paying attention to the comfort of the wearer. Its catalogue includes costumes for adults and for different age groups, as well as models available for sale.

Commissions for Brands, Schools and Clubs

The company works with corporate, educational and sports clients. Among the projects it documents are mascots for promotional campaigns, school events and clubs, as well as updates to existing characters. The site describes support throughout the entire process, from the design of a new mascot to the renovation of one already in use.

Oddbods also offers maintenance and care services for sports mascots, and mentions the possibility of managing the logistics of transporting a character to its events, including accommodation, so that it arrives on time.

Projects with Cadbury, Specsavers and Brothers Leagues Club

The material includes several specific commissions that illustrate its track record:

• Freddo Frog (Cadbury Schweppes): the company states that it has been bringing this character to the stage since 1993 and is now on its third version, evolving alongside the brand. Cadbury is among its first clients and the relationship was still going, according to the site, almost twenty-five years later.
• Specman (Specsavers): creation of a replica of the bespectacled character for the launch of new stores of the optician chain in Australia. The success of this mascot led the company's Swedish branch to commission SuperLouis, present in Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
• Helicopter (Brothers Leagues Club): turning a drawing of a helicopter made by a nine-year-old child into a three-dimensional, articulated mascot.

Warranty and Work Process

The company offers a twelve-month warranty on its costumes. Its working method starts from the client's idea and covers the design, manufacture and finishing of the character, with the stated aim of accurately capturing the commissioned vision. The site stresses that the costumes are manufactured in Australia and that both durability and comfort in use are carefully considered.
