Here my Youppi! collection. Youppi! was the Montreal Expos baseball team mascot. Those are from the 1980's and were a premium in a local gas station chain. They made 12 figures in the series, all of Youppi! in different baseball position except for two: a Youppi! dressed as a magician and as a firefighter. They also made a pretty cardboard collector box to store the whole lineup, which prompted me to get those. I had a few as a kid and was really fond of them As of note, Youppi! is now mascot for the Montreal Canadien Hockey team, the only mascot to do represent two major league team in different sports. He's also a close cousin of the muppets, as he was designed by Bonnie Erickson, formerly a designer for Jim Henson, and designer of Miss Piggy, Statler & Waldorf and other Muppet character:
