Description
Okay I need to explain this...So the little cyclops is named Wenlock and he is the Olympic Mascot for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London!!
There's also another mascot, Mandeville, who is the Paralympic mascots. When I first saw these two I kinda thought they were a little scary looking...but now I've somehow fallen in love with them and seriously am about at the point of saying they are the best Olympic mascots ever!! <3 
They're soooo cute!!Watch this video of them...[link] and/or look at this pic of the two of them...[link]
They're sooo cute! I love the video..
It's too adorable! Now as a comparison look at some past Olympic mascots - [link]
=\ I hear that most people don't like Wenlock and Mandeville and they wanted a Lion or something more common for the Olympic mascot....but that would have been really lame!!!
just sayin'... 
----
Anyway, My "vision" for this was that a child started playing with a toy of the olympic mascots and since Wenlock and Mandeville are actually the size of a small toy, the kid started playing with them accidently instead of the toy!!
!! Yeah, I got lazy on this though and didn''t feel like making it look better...I might scrap it later...
I know it looks pretty bad but atleast it's something! I wanted to add Mandeville trying to help his friend but...again, being lazy, I didn't feel like adding it...

Venues?? Are you at the Olympics!!? If you are I'm extremely jealous as attending an Olympic Games is like my biggest dream in life... =O And I loved that golden Wenlock that Usain Bolt had! XD It was so cute...I've wanted a plushie but they don't sell them in the US...

Yeah, I went to watch the rowing on the first day and the women's football (plus my parents went to see the beach volleyball).
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that the States didn't get any merch. Luckily, the 2012 online shop is still selling plushies and they ship internationally (it's a bit costly though). [link] I imagine they'd still be selling stuff anyway, what with the Paralympics coming up next.

Aw, wow, that's so cool!! Is it expensive to get into the events?
Did you link to the London2012 shop? Like this site - www.london2012.com and then click on the shop tab? Cause it looked like it was the london official site but then it quickly changes to this site... www.teamusashop.com which is the official US Olympic site. =\ I think because I'm a US resident they have it set up to redirect to that one instead of the london site....before the Games started I tried to order the plushie through the site you linked too and contacted them to ask why I couldn't get it sent to the US... they responded that apparently they don't ship to the US even though they ship most everywhere else... -_- 
I did find this site - www.london.com that seems to be selling the plushie and will ship to the US...do you know this site? Could I trust it do you think? 0_o

Yeah, the tickets themselves were pretty costly, plus there was the expenses of parking, food and souvenir buying at the events, but in the end, it was all worth it.
As for the 2012 online shop, that's such a bummer. But the ones on the site you showed me certainly look legit (every piece of official 2012 Olympic/Paralympic merch has an official seal somewhere on the packaging), although judging from the grammar, I'm not sure. I've also seen tons on eBay (some people have actually been buying tons of official merch so they can sell it abroad or take them home as gifts if they live outside the UK), but again you have to be wary of bootlegs.

Ah, Yeah, I figured it would cost a lot...it sucks.. I would want to see sooo many events, but I'd be lucky if I could afford one or two...if I could even get to an Olympics that is!
Yeah, I've seen the one's on eBay and have been considering buying one on there...but yes, I do get worried buying from anything that isn't official! But thanks!

Wenlock and Mandeville are all kinds of epic. What is people's problem?!
They're unique and interesting. I find them weirdly cute. High five, ~For-Always !

I love that they are unique! They really are cute in their own way..I think they're gonna be great mascots for 2012!

Wenlock and his buddy kick all kinds of butt. The haters are lying through their teeth, denying the fact that they rock hard.

And what matters is if kids like them or not. I showed them to my nephew and he said they were cool. (Also, he broke his arm recently, and I drew Mandeville on his cast

Aw! That was sweet! XD Not good that he broke his arm..
And yeah, I think a lot of kids will like them...people keep saying they look like something from Pixar and they do!! And what kid doesn't like Pixar??!
