Do you collect Oddworld Merchandise?
I do. Collecting paraphernalia, accessories and merchandise for games is a hobby of mine, though none of my collections are as impressive as my Oddworld collection. Now, I'm sure other people have got bigger, better collections than me, but I'd sure be interested to see what other items there are out there that I've not got (official items only, please; fan-made items are great, but not exactly collectable in the same sense). All told, I've probably spent over £500 (not sure what that would be in dollars or whatever) on my collection, and as far as I know, it's all Official stuff. Here's what I've got:
The Limited Folio Edition of the Art of Oddworld book (number 2) The Regular Limited Edition Art of Oddworld book (you know, the leather bound one), (number 289) A Whoopee Cushion (AE) A Sheet of Stickers from SW An AE Bottle opener (shaped like a brew bottle) Over 370 MO Beer mats A MO T-shirt (on the front there is Munch in his chair and a group of fuzzles with the caption "Good News! It's animal testing!", whilst on the back is a picture of a Vyker (possibly Humphrey?), with the caption; "Bad News! You're the rabbit!") A AE T-shirt (with the angry, sad, sick and wired mudukon symbols) An AE Mug Two Mouse-mats (one MO, one AE) A hand-signed Christmas card from Alf A SW Poster |
Hmm... Most Oddworld items I own are fan-made and hand crafted. I have 2 copies of the Hardcover Art of Oddworld, and one limited edition one. I stored the LE one away, and I forgot what number I ordered, so I can't specify, sorry.
I have a few t-shirts, mostly AE ones that I ordered from the small booklet that came with the game, and all the posters. I have the gumrot poster too. I have an AO mousepad, and the stickers with the mudokon expressions from AE as well as the logos for the Industries (ie: Feeco Depot, Soulstorm Brewery). Oh yea, and boxers with mudokon expressions as well. Currently I'm saving for the Folio Edition of the Art of Oddworld. |
I have an oddworld game and this cool box to keep it in

I used to have a ton O merchandise (this has been brought up a lot lately) but I've sold off a great deal of it. The only items I have left are the original embossed AO and AE boxes, and a few personalized items. Here's a poster I picked up from my first studio visit:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1235192119 I also used to have some Gabbit Juice vials. Yick. Movie posters, wrapping paper... Good lord Fish, I've never even heard of half that merchandise. If it's anything I wish I'd had it's the mudokon head boxer shorts. :p |
Oddworld happened in it's entirety long before I was able to come on the Internet proper, and as such had no idea that any merchandise ever existed, much less that there was a worthwhile market. As for stuff from the studio itself - forget about it. 5500 miles is a long way for a lone teenager to travel. The stuff on Ebay is too difficult to acquire, and I'll only lose the stuff anyway. I lost my art book somehow, despite keeping it on my person at all times. But then, I do lose my person every other day anyway, it seemed inevitable.
|
All I have is all the games (except for the GBA ones) and the art book soft cover (I know I'm a cheapscace but it's all the shop had) I did put a SW prima guide on hold but somehow the shop manged to loose it.

Most of the merchandise I've got are presents from them
the 4 movie posters a smaller version of the purple one the MO poster signed by SMK and LL the AE stickers a bunch of Christmas cards (some of them signed) the SW outlaw cards the MO power to the people t-shirt the SW live ammo t-shirt the OWI logo patch the Art of Oddworld book: Limited edition (number 666) the Art of Oddworld book: Hardcover signed by a couple of OWI artists Abe A Gogo soundtrack Hello Hello - single used in the Abe A Gogo comercial Get Freaky CD- video clip made by OWI, plus Lorne sings as Abe Use Yur Imagination CD- video clip made by OWI Stranger's Wrath OST - signed by Michael Bross Stranger's Wrath OST: Limited Edition The four games, SW and MO signed by LL and SMK The MO prima walktrough The SW prima walktrough The Movies of Oddworld DVD The Oddworld Movie vhs I might have forgot some items :p |
No merchandise, really. Got all the games but the GameBoy ones, and the art book. I had a Stranger's Wrath Christmas card, but I either lost it or my mum chucked it away. Only other Oddworld-related items I have are two magazines with Abe on the cover of both of them.
|
i only got two games, i WANT to get my hands on the other games and i would collect merchandise if i didn't think my addictive personality would see my house swell to five times it's size with oddworld products :)
|
I have the games minus the Gameboy games, the softcover version of the Oddworld art book, a weird little guide to Abe's Oddysee, the Stranger's Wrath soundtrack with some signed picture by Michael Bross.
I'd looove to get hold of other things but rarely browse ebay. Especially the Outlaw cards. I had the little booklet when I was younger from the first game, but I was so disappointed because my parents wouldn't let me order anything out of it. -sob.- |

I remember my dad bringing me home that article from work years ago, when I was about 8 or 9. I was only allowed to look at that page though. The other pages were erm... inappropriate. |
