Hey all! Now that we’re almost at opening day for the Valea Mierii site, I just wanted to share out some info regarding the “Arkty” mascot costume. Martin insisted we go all out for the press cycles and factory tours, so this isn’t just some cheap felt and foam. “Arkty” has a fully articulated face, moving mouth, blinking eyes, the works. Yes, for those who have seen it in person- it does smell like honey! That being said, for safety, it’s important we remember these rules when handling the outfit:
- Only those trained in wearing the costume may handle it directly. There’s a lot of heavy pieces to it, and we don’t want someone inexperienced getting hurt.
- Please make sure the suit is returned to the designated storage when not in use. It’s important that we maintain proper storage, to ensure long use.
Those interested in being an entertainer for the Factory tours, please sign up using this <link>.
Thanks all!
