What is Hamm from Toy Story made of?

In the movies, Hamm is a plastic piggy bank. For a costume, you can replicate this look using a shiny pink inflatable suit or soft pink fleece fabrics.

How does the inflatable Hamm costume stay inflated?

It features a small, battery-operated fan that clips to your belt or pocket. It runs continuously on 4 AA batteries to keep the suit puffed up.

Can I sit down in the inflatable Hamm costume?

Yes, but you must sit carefully to avoid blocking the fan intake or putting too much pressure on the seams. The air will temporarily displace but reinflate once you stand.

Turn on the fan switch to begin inflating the suit, then zip it up completely.

If going the DIY route, put on your matching pink sweatshirt and pink sweatpants.
