The Merchandise Of Your Dreams

(Anonymous) 2023-06-17 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there merchandise you wish you had of any particular fandom?
Be it just about anything for an obscure fandom or a very specific type of merchandise that you wish existed with your fandom in mind.

I regret not getting more In Space With Markiplier merch while I had the chance (I did manage to get a tshirt in the sales, but only got one of the variants because I wasn't sure if I should spend the amount that it would have cost to ship it all here).

Also would love to see merch for Petshop of Horrors too.

Honestly, I kind want a coffee table book of YouTuber portraits (preferably YouTubers from the brainier corners of the platform; brains and good looks can go together sometimes).

I wish more fandom clothing existed that was more subtle and grown up. I love a good graphic tee or print, but sometimes I want a more adult type of style.

I mainly just wish I could buy high-quality merch that I could feel great about owning and having for potentially decades. Particularly clothing and other wearables. I want quality fabric, quality craftsmanship, and quality design. I will pay for quality.

I would particularly love if there was more stealth merch--stuff that is more subtle and/or more abstruse. I would love to be able to buy a high-quality reproduction of a recognizable item a character wore.

I basically never buy merch, and the biggest reason is because the vast majority of it is cheaply made and feels very generic.

I get that most people either aren't willing to spend more for fan merch or simply can't afford to, and that that's why companies don't bother making high-quality merch; because it's simply not worth doing, and might actually lose them money. I'm not saying film companies are stupid for not making the kind of merch I would actually like to buy. I'm just describing the kind of merch I would actually like to buy.

Honestly I'd just love to have a whole costume. Any really. Used to have a Star Trek uniform as a kid and that was really fun.

One of my favorite characters in my main fandom has just... no merch whatsoever. And it's kind of a crapshoot who gets, like, a funko pop or whatever? Like one very minor character might get enough of a fuss early on despite having no screen time, to have someone scramble to say 'oh, yeah, merch for her!' but then another side character with a fair amount of screen time/action they're in on will be pretty consistently enjoyed over three seasons but not have the same *type* of big hype?

And like, it wouldn't HAVE to be a funko pop, that's just an example-- at this point though, if the show put out anything for this guy, I would jump on it. Anything from a tie-in novel to a bookmark, like give me anything. (though a funko pop would be ideal because I do have the one of the character I ship him with, who... again, has comparably no screen time? Who makes a pretty vital contribution to one season and ABSOLUTELY deserves his own hype and is also a fave, I just... why can I not get merch of my other guy?)

I'm coming from book fandoms, but it would also nicely work for others: I wish there was more merch that is stuff the characters (could) "use" in their world. Like, the book mentions a keychain a character uses? Get me that keychain. The characters go to a certain tavern/restaurant regularly? Get me cutlery/plates/drinking glasses from that place. There is a cool deco piece in the villain's home? Get me that.
Basically more... subtle things I can have in my life instead of merch with the characters' faces on them.
(I'm aware that stuff like that exists, but usually only for big fandoms)

I really love high quality collector figurines and would love some for several fandoms, especially for some Chinese BL novels. And I would love some figurines of male characters, especially Zhongli, in the quality of the existing Ningguang figurine but lol, the merch for Genshin is simply too waifu centered.
On the other hand, I'm kinda glad I don't get any of these figurines because they're a) very expensive and b) I have no space to display them properly.

Any goddamn Descole merch from the Professor Layton series. A keychain, a plush, fuckssake.

(Yes, I realize if I looked long enough in fandom, I'd probably find someone who makes them but I'm an obnoxious princess who's picky as fuck.)

More Vagrant Story stuff.

If I was to get specific, my dream merch would be a Hardin figure, because while it's great they released a set with Sydney and Ashley, I feel sad having Sydney without his "partner"/"friend".

In an ideal world, they'd release another two-pack with Hardin and Callo (since they spent so much time together in canon, and I would totally be fine putting the Callo figure with Ashley while Sydney and Hardin are off doing their thing), and since they already gave us the "bonus" of the rood keychain in the first pack, and Callo and Hardin don't need a million weapons, maybe the "extra" in that pack could be a little Joshua figure to go along with them. :D

Extra credit: another two-pack with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Or Guildenstern and Samantha? eh I'd take any of them.

(And there needs to be more Yuri merch in T&B2-land. It's like they forgot he existed and are making merch for literally everyone else. :()

It wasn't actually merch, but when I went to Canada while I was in college I saw a stuffed wolf in a red mountie uniform. I still regularly read due South fic, and I regret to this day not buying that wolf. Obvs I would have named him Diefenbaker.

There was Comic Con exclusive merch from Bob's Burgers a few years ago, and they had a stuffed animal version of the two-butted goat from "Stand By Gene" that I still think about. I've only ever seen them reselling for ridiculous rices on eBay, lol.

Accurate costume replicas. Except since even some of the fabrics run $500/yard and the real deal finished costumes cost $40,000-$60,000, if they were available as RTW, I'd be spending my yearly pre-tax salary just for one.

What I want most is a life-size Wigglytuff plushie that's really, really soft and squishy and smells like either cotton candy or bubblegum. I also want a replica of Aqua's keyblade, but if I had to choose between the two I'd go with the Wigglytuff plushie.

Do you ever delete playlists or tags or bookmarks for old fandoms?

(Anonymous) 2023-06-17 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I just realized that I have several fanvid playlists that I need to decide if I want to delete, curate, or add to my main "other shows" list. Because I've not watched Sherlock or Supernatural in years and I don't really know if I need those 3 playlists. Lol. At least they are private.

WTF is wrong with this world?

I just saw promo for a reality show based off the Squid Game? I know people won't literally die in the reality show but fucking hell. The whole point of the show is a breakdown on how society treats life and suffering as a game. No one is more important than money. And this was a game played to entertain the wealthy.

So let's make a cheap cash grab themed game off this?
Fuck Netflix.
Fuck people who only ever think about profits and "entertainment".
I'm really trying not to be pessimistic about the state of the world but fucking Christ I feel like everyone just stares at all this dark, dystopian, fucked up shit and just simply consume it without giving some critical fucking thought into things.

And if I hear that there's a donation or nonprofit to help people to offset the bad taste, LMAO that would piss me off even more.
