The original ideas for the mascots were inspired by the style and artistry of the vinyl toy movement. The birth of the designer vinyl action figure brings Quatchi, Miga, Sumi and Mukmuk full circle.

Quatchi stands 3.5" tall and is one of the official olympic mascots of the games. He's a friendly, fully poseable sasquatch with movable arms, hands, and legs. While he's shy and often hangs out in forests, Quatchi will happily join you in your travels to new places. He's also a big hockey fan and loves to play goalie... though his toy-sized figure isn't quite big enough to fill a hockey net.

Miga stands 2.25" tall and is also one of the official Olympic mascots of the games. She's a playable sea bear figure with movable fin-arms and a swiveling head. Just what are sea bears? They're orca whales that turn into bears when they come onto land. But Miga got stuck so she's now part orca and part bear! Be sure to bring Miga along if you're going surfing, snowboarding, or doing anything fun and exciting!

Sumi stands 2.85" tall and is the official paralympic mascot of the games. He's an animal spirit figure with furry legs that turn and and a head that swivels. As you can see from his action figure Sumi is quite an unique critter. He wears the hat of the orca whale, has the wings of the thunderbird and the furry legs of the black bear. Sumi loves the outdoors, alpine skiing, and flying over the mountains with his friends on his back.

Mukmuk stands 1.5" tall and is the much loved sidekick to the mascots, and is a marmot who lives on Vancouver Island. While he's the smallest figure, he loves to eat and cheer his heart out. Bring Mukmuk with you to the games to help you cheer! Mukmuk comes with a special foam finger accessory to cheer all the athletes at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Do note that Mukmuk is exclusive to the Collector's Set, and is not available individually.
