The best place in town to get the official Vancouver 2010 Mascot Designer Vinyl Action Figures!

POSTED February 17, 2010 BY Bob Kronbauer

If you’re a collector of vinyl figurines and you live in this city then it’s no doubt you know that Voltage on Main Street is pretty much the ultimate. For those not in the know who simply want to find these figurines of the mascots, now you know the best place in town to get them! They sold out of these the day they got them in stock but have recently been re-stocked and have enough to go around.

Learn all about these figures on the Happy Worker web site (the Canadian company that brought them to life) then head to Voltage and pick up a set! They’re also available in singles, and the price/value is insane. I seriously can’t believe that you get all 4 for $35. MukMuk is a bonus with the set, and he has a removable red mitten AND foam finger. So awesome.

    The DIY Quatchi is so awesome… I’ll be posting it soon.

    Got the 3 main mascots but I have to say the production/paint job on these are not up to par. I got 2 Quatchis (one as a gift) and both of them have a little dent around the top edge of the face. Quite noticeable.
