Kenadian Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Now that they have arrived, which Vancouver 2010 mascot is your fave? Or maybe you think they all stink like a sasquatch?

Kenadian Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'm not surprised to see Muk Muk running away with it here. The word around the watercooler this week was that most people think he's the winner and they'd be likely to buy him before the others. Too bad he isn't for sale.

Maybe it's the Lure of the Forbidden. If he were up for sale, maybe there might not be that much attraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temo Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Mukmuk is definitely the best because he's unique to BC, a real creature and seems to have the most character from all the designs. Too bad he's been relegated to Olympic drinking buddy, or whatever he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 VANOC has got to bring out Mukmuk merchandise ... a plushy and pin at least. They will sell like hotcakes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 The Bay Downtown is temporarily sold out of both the small ($25) and large ($40) Quatche plushy. They are taking names for when new stock arrives. So, in general people have voted with their wallets for Quatche! Miga seemed to be selling well today when I was there.

And 10% are VANOC royalties, so VANOC gets $3,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOC Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 amazing. yesterday, i got there at around 12:30, they were re-stocking shelfs that were already empty. it's amazing how fast they've gone.since they're ordering 1,000 more....lets say they're the $30 Quatchi plushies. 1,000 x $30 = $30,000. And 10% are VANOC royalties, so VANOC gets $3,000. VANOC Gets 15% + 2% advertsing (total 17%) on the wholesale price not the retail price. And you would be talking Millions for a plush licensee who pays it, not the retail store. Unless it is an official Olympic Store which has to be a percentage on the retail price (closer to 5%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Realistically, I don't see a mascot plush toy ever making enough money for any organizing committee to consider it a major revenue generator. It is mostly a marketing tool for getting people engaged in the Games (mostly children). The serious money comes from sponsorship.and tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceNarcissus Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I bet Mukmuk is only a sidekick because they want to create this very buzz-based demand for more mascot products being experienced now. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Mata Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Muk Muk is da man!!!! He's cooler than the three official mascots (all of them very nice too). Maybe Vanoc should use his image more. Ok, he won't appear in flesh and fur, but I think they shouldn't use him just on the website. Maybe Muk Muk could give some advices to the people during Vancouver games, or being a volunteers mascot maybe. In the vid he seems to have a 'supporting role'. Making him a volunteer mascot would give him more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
