animats Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 There are companies which offer customized teddy bears. If you have a Linden bear in world, you should be able to buy a real-world one to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItHadToComeToThis Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) I actually did come up with a design a year ago that I keep meaning to have printed xD. Nothing special and in fact I need to alter it and improve it but still. SL MERCH!! Edited July 24, 2020 by ItHadToComeToThis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I mean the t-shirt and key chain stuff. I have a Linden Lab Cube! I think from 2007 from their party in Brighton UK. I think that was the start and end of Merch - I wish they would do more!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'm not much of a merch guy, I've never even bough a band T-shirt - but I don't know what LL would do for merch aside from mugs/T-shirts/hoodies with their logo on it. It's not really comparable to other 'video game' franchises; take Blizzard for example who've got everything from mugs, shirts, figurines, posters, socks, blankets, mouse pads, backpacks, plushies, cushions, towels, beer glasses, jackets, artbooks, caps, dog leashes, calendars, books, and even had a headset with the Horde/Alliance logos from the Warcraft franchise - and then there's the collector's editions which you laugh at when they're announced because 'who'd ever buy that tat for that kind of money?' and the next day you hear it's sold out. As much as I love SL and LL in extension of that, I don't think that SL is a very high merchandising potential product. Either you've got to be like Disney and just have an enormous audience and merchandisable franchises (the merch revenue for Mickey Mouse alone is beyond silly), or you've got to have a franchise with a lore/story that you can pull from to generate merch (such as the Warcraft franchise), or just such an iconic art style of the video game that it'll be recognized for what it is just through that (such as the Minecraft merch). SL doesn't really have any of that, seeing as the vast majority of the content is user created - and then there's the question of whether the audience at all would be interested in buying any of it; as has been mentioned, not everyone want to let their RL friends/families know that they're in SL. Then again .. If Discord can have a merch store (though it appears to have been down for 6 months), why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again .. If Discord can have a merch store (though it appears to have been down for 6 months), why not? Could have multiple designs based on the development side of SL. Such as Logo with designer type such as Scripter, Animator, Builder. Designs for bloggers, LL logo, code designs, cube designs, animation, ruth, designs for different communities, gothic, anime, furry, medieval, linden bears, Torley inspired neon designs, ones referencing popular threads on the forums such as "Looking for Guy Linden". Phrases based around the forum. Could go one step further, Second Life inspired keyboard with pre set hotkeys for build, avatar panel, inventory etc. Idk stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago I got in the situation where a gameing company gifted me one of their official office mugs with the companies logo on (along with a few other small things). Its super simple, but still one of my favorite mugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonadrgora Darkfold Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Eh branded things are overrated. I had an statue from a game once before. I paid 180 dollars for the game and statue and the box it came in. Got rid of it a few years later after I quit playing the game. No reason to hold on to it.. nostalgia.. overrated.. memories.. overrated.. memorabilia overrated. Dont need any of those things to actually have the memories or feelings or thoughts of that past time. in hindsight it was a waste of money for something that really had little to no meaning in the end.

Pixie Kobichenko Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I know it’s impossible due to the copyrights for the heads, bodies, hair, clothes, & the like, but how cool would it be to be able to order a 3D printed action figure of our Avis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree Giffen Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Do the Lindens walk around in plain white t-shirts saying, "Whassup coworkers. Wish we had our own company logo on a t-shirt". I'm sure there are t-shirt making companies all over the bay area. They could get quotes for a t-shirt that says... "Second Life by Linden Lab a wholly owned subsidiary of the Waterfield Oberwager Investment Group LLC." Sounds snazzy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
