I have found an Abe mobile phone cover on ebay, but that must have been personalised to have Abe on it.

Maybe we will see merchandise when the movies come out?

We hope at least.

From the official F.A.Q.

:
Q: When will Oddworld merchandise be available? What about an Oddworld movie?

A: We have a lot of desire to merchandise the property, but we've been slow on the licensing front because we want to be careful and make sure we're making the right moves for the property.
Our artistic dreams definitely include motion pictures. These ideas began as motion pictures for us. When the films can be done the way we want to do them... only then we will move forward with production.

You know your right I just don't see Oddworld makeing little toys and such. Maybe shirts but not toys.

They should really make clothing if anything. That seems to me more feasable with Oddworld than Oddworld toys. Clothing would be a great market for them.

I dunno....I can see a few good ideas for Oddworld Action Figures.

I would LOVE to own a Bigbro Slig toy.

There used to be some stuff available for Abe's Exoddus, T-shirts, posters, that kind of thing. At one stage it was available to order online at the old GTGames store. It stayed online for a while, but it pretty much dissappeared after Infogrames took over. I actually wrote to Infogrames about the online store and they said they were reviewing whether it would be returned. I guess the review came up with "no" because that was a few years ago now.

The only things you can usually get at the moment are promotional kinds of things that pop up on eBay from time to time. Like Oddworld patches and the Munch can. I never did get my Munch can. I ordered a few from a guy on eBay and he said he sent them, but they never arrived.

It's known that I would like to see lots of Oddworld merchandise, but I also understand why Oddworld is not rushing. As they are careful with the companies they deal with (like SoBe for instance), and won't just let anyone have an Oddworld licence.

However, although I would like to see merchandise (action figures ... not cheezy like the ones in the other post, clothing, plush fuzzles ... yay!, etc) ... I wouldn't like it to be "everywhere" like Pokemon and Harry Potter. That would just spoil Oddworld. It should be like some other games merchandise, more specialized and just available from video game/collectible stores or online.

Abe Babe...

Who was it who has that giant model of an oddworld character (Munch if I recall correctly, might be Abe). They said they got it on Amazon once for a few hundred dollars.

Hmmmmm... that's the only merchandise I'm aware of anyway.
