Giant Bomb Merchandise: I need your ideas!

Posters. Easy ones are abound with the "season" format of the Bombcast. I'd buy a big jumping-over-the-rainbow Bombcast poster. Probably.

The best idea that will never happen: Persona 4 Endurance Run box set. You'd have to get a deal with the Persona 4 developers/publishers obviously, and if it were me I'd sell a copy of the game with it and sell the whole thing for 40 - 60 bucks. Sweet art work for the box set, record some cool features as additional content for the set (which would also be provided on site for Whiskey premium members)... yeah, that'd be awesome. Too bad it will NEVER HAPPEN.

A black shirt with bold, white text that simply reads "CUNT." With the period.

I would buy a couple hats immediately.

I would love a NEVER bumper sticker.

Also, I want a cloth map of the Whiskey Offices. Dave knows what I'm talking about.

Absolutely a cloth map.

Also you should hold regular shirt design contests and have the community vote on the best designs. I love all of my Whiskey Media shirts.

Messenger bags. I need a new bag for school and I would definitely buy one from you guys.

Don't really have any innovative merchandise ideas at this moment, but I'd really like a regular, classic Giant Bomb t-shirt to be made available again.

People have been saying they want a poster or T-Shirt of my 'Hardcore Dave Says' design. I think it's crazy, but since people kept posting it I might as well post here.

Also, thanks to Vager and MisterChief you can make your own here: http://www.vager.net/davesays/

Well, if we're going to start suggesting things we made ourselves; this Warlords inspired T-shirt design I made awhile ago got a lot of positive feedback (I'm open to make changes if you feel it's too copyright infringing). Also, last year's game of the year seal, which I made into a wallpaper, might be obscure enough to make some cool merch with.

I need that fuckin pullover hoodie.
 
I'd also buy a hat with an embroidered GB or Bomb logo patch sewn on. Felxible fitted, please. A tall beanie with the same patch would be great, too.
 
But I only want the official, well recognized logo/bomb.

Giant Bomb edition Zojirushi. Seriously.

The man said it.

GiantBomb Zojirushi

GiantBomb coffee mug

Signed corny 80s family photo of the GiantBomb crew. (complete with terrible Christmas sweaters)

Plush Luchadeer (with plush cool baby riding it)

@Daniel: Coffee mugs, stickers, and hats.

Also, I know you wanted ideas beyond shirts, but I would love a Giant Bomb logo polo shirt that I could wear to work. Please :)

I want ze plush Luchadeer. I will pay you $XXX.XX for it.

I wasn't suggesting it because I want my stuff printed, I just got some posts that said they would buy them and remembered Daniel was looking for ideas so I passed the message on.

That seal looks great.

Also, Luchadeer plushie.

Same here; lots of "I'd buy that" comments on mine too, which is almost a year old. I wouldn't have posted it if you hadn't broken the seal, so to speak. It wasn't meant as a direct response to you, so no hard feelings. If other people want to self-promote, it's fine with me. I really like your Dave Says thing, BTW.

Are people serious about plushies? Or am i missing something?

I wonder if a luchadeer plush is within fair use laws, since the mask is just a Rey Mysterio mask

I highly approve of stickers.

Especially if all the review portraits are included.

I want a Jeff plushie and when you squeeze him he says "RIDER MEET HORSE, HORSE MEET RIDER"

@Daniel: What we all want is Giant Bomb underwear. I'm saying 'personalized' if ya know what I mean....

Some kind of apparatus to keep us from letting go of the hold button that also keeps a record so other people can check that we never let go of the hold button.

Nothing says Giant Bomb more than Ryan's face on your crotch.

@Spoonman671: No, it is a blank check. They can decide the amount.

Bombcast bobbleheads would be pretty awesome.

I personally don't want clothing with "LOL WIZARDS" emblazoned on the front; I would prefer more subtle stuff. A Ralph Lauren Polo-style Luchadeer logo on the chest would be pretty funny and something I could conceivably wear in public. 
 
As for the actual question at hand... this:

I was hoping you would get my Magic: The Gathering joke. I guess you didn't.

I never got into Magic. A lot of the people in my clique did in High School, but not me. Sorry, man. :(

Whiskey thongs. 

I could really use a nice stocking hat for this winter. I need one for big heads though, because my head is big.

Mousepad, bobble heads and plush luchadeer!

A shirt that says "It makes wrestling sense." 
 
I picture of Vinny and it reads, "Brought to you by the C-word" 

Hardcore Dave car fresheners.

I would be happy with just lighter coloured tshirts

Everyone's saying mugs, but I'm sure we've all got dozens of novelty mugs laying around that we never use- it's because they're so easy.

I'd buy some really heavy, high quality, frosted Highball or Scotch glasses with silver Whiskey logo's on them. I'm no artist, but here's a (very) rough mock-up:

How's Mrs. Bighead doing?

@Daniel: I'd say keychains are a must. It's something simple that you can carry with you at all times.

Guys I'm really appreciating all these responses! I'll be pursuing some of them over the next couple months! We're looking at some cool stuff for the BLLSL2 on 9/9/11.

HOODIE. JACKET. ANYTHING BUT T SHIRTS. A BELT, I DON'T CARE.

Also, denim shorts.

Plushie Luchadeer, more inside-jokes for shirt ideas, maybe a collection of posters for each GB member with funny, famous things they've said before?

I'd really like to see some more hoodies, also.

As some of you may know, I run our merchandise store at Whiskey Media. I'm thinking of some new stuff we could make that you guys would be into, and besides t-shirts/hoodie, I'm kind of hitting a wall. So I turn to you! What kind of merchandise would you guys like to see in the store besides tees/hoodies?

Posters? A sweet ass backback with the GB logo printed on it/patched on? Stickers?

Give me your thoughts, I'm wide open!

ALSO, thanks to everyone who has supported us by shopping through our store! You guys are awesome.

Thanks,

Dan

@dudeglove: I guess, but what do you do with it? Hug it in bed, have fun with that.

A baby mobile with the bomb crew

I don't know if it's already been mentioned but i'd love a Giant Bomb beer cosy
