2008 Beijing Olympic Games Mascot - FuWa

My New Toy!!! Thanks to Joanne!!! (^_^)!!
The Fuwa, literally known as "Good-luck dolls"
are the mascots of the coming Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
The Fuwa consists of five members with the
affectionate/adorable names in traditional style,
by doubling up a single word as two, for example,
my name is Wen, and my family calls me 'WenWen'.
Fuwa is Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini;
which also means 'Beijing Welcomes You'
(Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni "北京欢迎你")
Each Fuwa also represents one of the five Olympic Rings
They even released an Olympic-themed cartoon series featuring the Fuwa in 2007!
