A monster is a cold-air inflatable, not a helium balloon. Different product, different job, and worth understanding before you buy either.

How a cold-air shape works

A blower pushes air in continuously and the shape stands up under that pressure. It does not fly and it is not sealed; air leaks out as fast as the fan puts it in, by design.

That is why almost any shape is possible. There is no requirement to hold gas or to fly stably, so the moulding is free to be a creature rather than a sphere.

What it needs from you

Mains power, wherever it stands, for every hour it is up. A cable run, a socket, and a breaker that will not trip.

Also ground anchoring, because a large light shape catches wind. And someone to switch it off at close of business; leaving a fan running unattended overnight is not a plan.

Enormous close up, invisible far away

This is the honest limitation. At fifty feet a 25-foot monster is genuinely arresting. At five hundred feet, standing at ground level behind cars and signage, it is gone.

If your problem is being noticed from a road, a helium balloon at 120 feet does that and a cold-air shape does not. If your problem is turning a forecourt into an event, it is the reverse.

Ordering one

We build cold-air custom shapes to about 25 feet, quoted per project rather than from a list, because the shape is yours.

Send a sketch, a photograph, or a character you already use. We will tell you honestly whether it can be built at the size you want and what it will cost.
