Woof! Custom Fire Dog Mascot Inflates at Turbo Speed

Setting Up Custom Inflatable Mascots in 4 Easy Steps!

How long will it take me to set up my inflatable mascot or character? Only a few minutes!

#1. ZIP: Close The Inflatable's Zipper

Close the zipper on the inflatable. In this video, the zipper is on the back of the mascot. Secure the velcro flap over the zipper.

#2. PLUG-IN: Plug in the Power Cord

Make sure there is enough space for the inflatable shape to inflate without interference. Plug the power cord attached to the external blower system into a standard outlet.

#3. FLIP THE SWITCH: Turn on the Blower System!

Start the blower/fan system attached to the mascot or character by simply flipping the switch.

#4. INFLATE! Stand Back and Watch Your Inflatable Come to Life!

Watch as your custom inflatable comes to life! Many inflatable characters, like Sparky the Fire Dog in this video, will need external tethers to maintain stability on site.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations


"I chose Landmark Creations because they had a reasonable price for a customized inflatable. The other inflatables featured on their site made me confident that they could produce exactly what I was looking for."

- Sara Chadeck, KONO 101.1 FM

"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."

- Sam Baker, Head Football Coach at Waconia High School

"Our giant peach is brand new to us and will help us gain name recognition in our community at health fairs, county fairs, farm markets, school events and almost any event we take it to."

- Greg Stone, Peach Tree Healthcare

"I was especially impressed with your ability to turn around such excellent work on very short notice, and at a fair price."

- R. Stever-Zeitlin, General Mills

"Just wanted to say how much we LOVE our inflatables.  We tested them in our lobby where they were, of course, an instant hit for school group photos. Our leadership was quite pleased with the durability and the realism."

- Mike Hennessy, Carnegie Science Center

"This year’s event was the highest attended in some time, and the [inflatable] astronaut, front and center on our Portico, was a great visible draw from all over the area."

- Dennis Bateman, Carnegie Science Center
