One columnist jested that they were the product of a "drunken one-night stand between a Teletubby and a Dalek".[188] Others have compared them to Izzy, the much disparaged mascot of the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics.[189] Still others have likened them to Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons.[190] However, the mascots' creators claim that young people find the duo appealing.WenlockWenlock’s name is inspired by Much Wenlock in Shropshire, England, where in 1850 theWenlock Olympian Society held its first Olympian Games, regarded as an inspiration for the modern Olympic games.[3] The five friendship rings on his wrists correspond to the five Olympic rings, and three points on his head represent the three places on the podium. The pattern on his body symbolises the whole world coming to London, and the shape of his helmet represents the shape of the Olympic Stadium.A mug with an image of Wenlock in full Queen's guard uniform.MADE IN CHINADishwasher & Mircowave SafeProduced by Johnson BrothersBarlaston, Stoke On Trent EnglandBrand New official product never used !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
