ShrapnelGames Game merchandise..

[Katchoo]

There was mention of Shrapnel's new merchandies and a link to order stuff in the most recent issue of the Frag Newsletter:

• New Shrapnel Games Merchandise
  
  Imagine the following scenario: You're out at the local park, playing frisbee
  with your dog. You toss the disc, your dog leaps up and catches it, maybe runs
  around a little bit with it and makes you chase him. All a lot of fun, right?
  Yeah, it's fun all right but imagine if instead of using an old Wham-O frisbee
  you were using an official Shrapnel Games' Dominions II frisbee! And you were
  wearing an official Shrapnel Games' Lock 'N Load t-shirt! Can it get any better?
  Dare you dream the dream, it can! Toss in a Shrapnel Games cooking apron and
  uou'll be the coolest looking guy in the park! Well, okay, the apron may cause
  you to look a little dorky, but you'll definitely be the hit of the neighborhood
  cook-out!
  
  Frisbees, t-shirts, and aprons are but a few of the high quality Shrapnel Games
  branded products that are now available through CaféPress.com, a great
  merchandiser of uniquely branded products available only Online. For the
  full product line up please visit the site at http://www.cafeshops.com/shrapnelgames.
  We are continually looking for new products to offer, so check back often as the
  catalog increases.

(Hope it was ok of me to clip it here. If not, one of the Moderators is welcome to remove the info, or send me a PM to remove it).

Well there has definitely been some merchandise for over 2 years, such as the MM mouse pads. You were not the first to suggest such drivel to Shrapnel.

I used the WayBackMachine to view the site back to Nov 1999 when they started. I see a poster for SEIV, and various merchants that came and went (die cast metal military cars?!?) but nothing like what CafePress will let them do.
But yes it looks like they have tried other things in the past.

Its all in the marketing. Nuff said.

shrapnel games frag grenades, thats what i want. either classic prussian stick bombs, or modern baseball grenades. im not picky. or at least the PINS, like in the logo.

I don't know how they are called around the world, but in Holland we have "Wuppies". Fuzzy little dots with nothing more that two feet and two eyes. The sure would be a hit if you sell them with the Shrapnel of Malfador logo.
A friend of mine collects Wuppies, he puts them on his motorbike. Image an all green Kawasaki with a dashboard filled with Wuppies. LOL!

I think they are either wuppies or weeples here. I had a handful, too. Googly eyes, either bare feet or shoes, and a message tag. Maybe accessories glued on, like a hat. Cute and fuzzy.

I still think the Action figures and toys is the best choice for big bucks.
