I assure you barging into the crafts department to buy lavender ribbon and later learning how to tie a bow at home was the most manly thing I've ever done.
I want to get some better photos outside but I also don't want to get busted dutifully photographing a pink pony toy. At least I nailed that cheesy 80s catalog look somehow.

G4 merchandise needs complete reform. For the past two months I've been working with GUND trying to get licensing for show-accurate plushies. GUND was interested in making product specifically for bronies, $50 plush of impeccable quality, "done right" as they put it. Hasbro's toy division turned them down yesterday.
Hasbro doesn't have the infrastructure to make collector quality plush toys is what worries me. Licensing the property to other companies is fairly common, the biggest example is WeLoveFine. They make stuff just for bronies, listen to bronies, and simply pay Hasbro the royalties.
Sorry, bad wording. I don't work for GUND and with my resume I never will. I just realized after the Derpy situation that if 10 angry emails can get the show changed, surely a few polite emails can get proper merchandise rolling. GUND was the only company to write me back and take an interest. I deployed a few surveys and tried to get as much feedback from bronies as possible, and help give GUND an idea what the market was after. They used this information to apply for a license. Apparently my data was consistent with the information Hasbro had been collecting, so I gave the application as much of a fighting chance as I could. Still no luck.
I would've gone straight to Hasbro but a) they don't listen to direct consumer feedback and b) this is their idea of a plush.

;sladfkhjafsldkjfs THAT PLUSH
Wow it looks like a half-dead jellyfish or something I can't even. :'c
It's so cool that you almost got something good going, anyway! That would have been so awesome. I guess because Hasbro's a merchandise company as well they declined it? Their merchandise is utter poop if that plush is anything to go by though. Holy moley. <:T

Sculpture photo thumbnails are like stealth mode amongst colorful digital pieces. And thanks! I made this so long ago, I should really finish that Rainbow Dash I was making afterwards.
