And there is no truth to the rumor that this is where they got the idea.

Man, that is bad. The 1st thing that pops into my head when looking at it is Marvin the Martian...just in a different outfit.

It looks like an IRL driver. But, given some of their past choices, it's not all that bad, IMO.

At least they are trying to stay somewhat "fierce" as opposed to going the pro mascot route of cuddly and often indiscernible fuzzy blob thing. That's the only nice thing I can say about it. . . A vast improvement over the KKK looking thing of the 60s/70s and the crayola/"personal massager" of the 80s/90s.

1) It's probably the best redition of their mascot I have ever seen.
2) Still, it looks like one of those Playmobile people.
3) I didn't know John Glenn had history with providing them mascot-wear. That's pretty cool.

This looks like the next villain Batman will go up against.

V-dub... I swear I was thinking the exact same thing before I read your post.
What should it be called? Duckboy?

Word is that Nintendo is suing for copyright infringement.

Behold, Megaman is scorned.

That's no mascot, boys and girls. You can tell by the helmet. That's Toledo's 2008 home uniform.

This version of the rocket man is far far better than that of the previous generations.
