Err not really no

The back story of where their names came from is pretty cool but not overly impressed with the look of them
They have 2 years to grow on me so who know how i will feel about them when the Olympics come round

They should've just done an Olympian Lion...

Look at how successful World Cup Willie was.

These things look so weird that I can't help laughing about it every time I see them.

Yep or something that was obviously British that didn't need explaining to everyone

If you have to explain the joke, it just ain't funny

I love the fact that they say these characters are drops of living steel from the Olympic stadium...

If that doesn't prove the games are cursed I don't know what does...maybe we built the stadium on an indian burial ground or something...

Apparently the lights on their heads symbolise taxis.

Which is nice.
