I think we need to be realistic here, posters and shirts are probably the way forward, which I'd be more than happy with.

Calvin & Hobbes-style car sticker with Stranger pissing on the EA logo

That definitely needs to happen, though.

Manco 10-16-2012 10:46 PM

Maybe some little figurines that I could stick on my desk or something. You could do a whole bunch for each species.

Fred The Fuzzle 10-17-2012 12:22 AM

Anyone think these'd be cool?

A Molluck-shaped dildo
A body pillow featuring a graphic of Abe with plush breasts

Was this really needed?

Not really. If the faces were embroidered and didn't get cut off they'd look a lot better.

I want an embroidered Slig Barracks beenie.

I must admit, That would be amazing to see.

Nate 10-17-2012 02:58 AM

This would probably be quite expensive, but full-size, unpainted, moulded copies of the creature sculptures from AO.

How about a scale model of the Feeco trains

Then there should be tracks and suspension towers as well :) A FeeCo train line could be awesome as a 1/32 gartenbahn layout. Though it would be very expensive as well. I had an idea of scratch-building a motorized model of a FeeCo locomotive but it was never a serious project as I have other things to do in my spare time.

Would you not buy them?

Lego Rupture Farms.

I would snap up the yellow Mudokon Smiley beanie hat in seconds. Honestly I want one right now.. anyone know of any websites that you can create custom beanies on?

Slog Bait 10-17-2012 09:52 AM

I'm sure if you did a quick search on Google, you'll find something.

It's better to wait to see if they release any official merchandise. Though, I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed. If they do come out with mudokon face beanies, then buying that will allow OWI to profit off of it, and that money can go to their future projects. And then there's always the option of trying to craft it by hand.

Cloudman 10-17-2012 02:07 PM

I work in an embroidery store actually, was thinking of doing something Oddworld-related for myself. Those Mud smilies were definitely an idea...

Maybe they could do a Lego FeeCo. too!

Brew!
 
I remember there being SoulStorm Brew bottled beer just like the games! It was merchandise around the time Abe's Exoddus was released, sadly I was under aged then and my parents would not buy it for me BUT NOW I have my own moolah and I am of a responsible age! :fuzgrin:

Wil 10-18-2012 01:28 AM

Don't worry, it was only bottled water handed out at expos.

Hmm well that's no good. I wanna get sick from brew. :fuzsad: Maybe Sekto Springs bottled water?

Phylum 10-18-2012 01:34 AM

What's so special about Chris' water?

Or y'know, Just get some beer and stick a SoulStorm Brew logo on it. Or what I did and stick the logo on peoples drinks at a houseparty and watch them all drink.

Somehow this sounds very wrong.

Crashpunk 10-18-2012 06:34 AM

Well I don't mean I stare intensely at them whilst they are drinking. :lol: I mean I looked every so often to see if they notice the SoulStrom Logo.

Nepsotic 10-18-2012 07:07 AM

A little posable Scrab figure is all I'd like, around the same size as the sentry turret figure from Portal 2.

I dunno know about you, Xav, But I certainly need them.

I think clothing is a very good route to take for Oddworld merchandise. It tends to have very flexible design prospects. And be cheap. Just gotta be careful with the way it's being done, it sort of becomes ironic in a terrible way if stuff's being produced in sweatshops by people being paid virtually nothing and all.


For some reason I really think the idea of a stitchlip bandana is fantastic.

Maybe something like this. Although come to think of it, this might be a better thing for Stranger merchandise... Still! It's an idea. A nice cosy idea considering the northern hemisphere is going towards the winter months now.

You underestimate how dirty I am.

Is that an Oddworld cod piece?

STM 10-18-2012 09:26 AM

If so, I want three.

hedjeroo 10-18-2012 10:10 AM

Even better.

I'm sure novelty panties with terrible Oddworld pickup lines would sell too.

Slog Bait 10-18-2012 10:36 AM

Can't think of any Oddworld related pickup lines off the top of my head but just

Oddworld underwear

Yes.

Not talking about the mud face boxers or any of the other AE merchandise, no. I'm talking about some quality Oddworld underwear here. You'd have your paramite bras and angry mudokon g strings and

Personally though, I'd want something like this. Wear these and get all the bitches, guaranteed.
