A friend of mine spotted this character at an archery trade show. Neither of us can figure out if it's an established pop culture persona or just some company's mascot.

Just tried Google image search. Nothing with that distinctive emblem on its chest. – Emsley Wyatt Jan 18 '18 at 17:28

Which archery trade show was this? (Location, etc)? – JohnP Jan 18 '18 at 17:59

@JohnP Archery Trade Association show in downtown Indianapolis. – Aeryk Jan 18 '18 at 18:00

The helmet, wrist, and knee pads have the same logo as a poster in the background. So it's probably a mascot for whatever that logo represents. – Vanguard3000 Jan 18 '18 at 18:48

2Poster in the background? I think you're looking at his backpack. But, yes, the over abundance of logos was why I suspected a mascot. – Aeryk Jan 18 '18 at 19:02

As you can tell from the photo, this was near the Megamouth booth (5117), but I couldn't find a nearby vendor with this logo. – Aeryk Jan 18 '18 at 20:31

My first thought was Hudzen 10, though it's not really the same... https://pm1.narvii.com/6351/fa501acc49934def7aed18f477c144fb30c7f712_hq.jpg – Jan 18 '18 at 20:48

@Aeryk Yeah, you're right. It seemed aligned with those green posters in the background. My mistake. – Vanguard3000 Jan 18 '18 at 21:35

This appears to be the "OZ" robot designed by Robot Costumes USA for ScentLok Technologies
You can see some video footage on their website. A closer inspection of the logo reveals that it says Active Odor Destroyer.

22Based on the photo, I was trying to figure out what an "ACTIVE DOOR ESTROYFR" was. What a great font choice! – Brian Jan 18 '18 at 21:32

2Since the D and O are so close together, it got me wondering if it was saying "active door destroyer" instead. Does "estroyfr" come from damage to the letters? – John Dvorak Jan 19 '18 at 03:52

@JohnDvorak - They illuminate. In this instance some of the bulbs appear to not be working very well. – Valorum Jan 19 '18 at 08:10

The character is in some way associated with ScentLok
(source: scentlok.com)
He appears to be sporting the ScentLok logo.
Found by identifying the RexPID sign in the background, going to the exhibitors floorplan, finding the RexPID booth and then looking at the vendors that seemed to be within line of sight of that booth
