Paco and Sammy for Global Champions

Global Champions brings international show jumping to venues around the world. For its kids line, the organisation wanted two horse mascots that fans could take home: Paco in a red team shirt and Sammy in a blue one, both with the Global Champions logo.

We made both horses in two sizes: a 30 cm plush toy and a keychain that keeps the same details in miniature.

Key points

  • True to the brand: Team shirts in the right colours, with the logo embroidered on the chest.
  • Two sizes, one character: The keychain mirrors the mane, face and shirt of the 30 cm plush.
  • Details that last: A full mane, embroidered features and sturdy seams for fans of all ages.
  • Consistent in every batch: Every horse matches the approved sample.

“Love it! They look amazing.”

Plush mascots for international sports organisations

Sports federations, leagues and international tours often have a mascot that fans recognise in every country they visit. A plush version brings that mascot home: in the fan shop, at events or as a gift for young athletes.

For an organisation that works on a world level, a few things matter most:

  • One standard everywhere: The same character in every batch, for every country and every event.
  • A full range from one character: From a keychain to a large plush, all true to your brand book.
  • Safety and compliance: EN 71 and GPSR for Europe. Tell us where else you sell, and we check the requirements with you.
  • Import and logistics: Delivery to your warehouse or straight to your events.
  • Experience: Custom plush toys for brands, clubs and organisations since 1998.
