Melo Figurines

Pets

So, anyone who's been on the forums (specifically Aywas Talk) will have seen that I'm playing with the idea of getting melo figurines made. Why melos? Prototype development for figurines is very expensive, so we can only have one figurine at this time if we want one, and melos have the most colors and the most popularity. :)


Anyway, the figurines would be three inches, solid vinyl with that beautiful vinyl smell. They will be packaged in a box that gives you a random melo figurine of 10 different colors, so every box will be full of excitement. *flail*


Aside from that, there will be pure white melo figurines available for you to color on with markers, paint, etc and make your own customs. We can have monthly or bi-monthly "melo custom figurine" contests if enough people are interested in coloring white figurines for prizes. :)


Here are the colors we've tentatively chosen. I say tentatively in that you can give me suggestions for replacing out a color with another color, and if enough people agree it'll be done. :)













In closing, before any of this can happen (and I hope it can, man, I want a ton of these things all over my room and house... everywhere you turn--MELO!), there needs to be sufficient interest from the userbase. So, poll time! Keep in mind that USD buyers would be first, so if you CAN use USD (or any other PayPal supported currency, lol) pick that first before GP!


Melo figurines, around $7-$10 (and might be released for GP later)
I want one (or more) and I can pay USD!

The trading cards are still on the list of cool ideas, but since they require so much custom art and templating, they might be be around for a while - just for anyone wondering!

Wow this is exactly like the Disney Vinylmation, they come in mystery packs and everything too...

I'm more of a natural markings color person. So I would love to see, like the Appaloosa, Tiger, Jaguar, Serval, Quagga, Snow Leopard, African Wild Dog, Arctic Marble ... something along those lines.
But if it has to be fantasy, then the Nightblood Melo, Confetti, Reben, Bonfire, Cherry Blossom, Ice Leopard to replace the Sugar Skull or the Dandelion one.

I am all for this idea, as long as I don't have to pay $10 for a RANDOM figure. If there are more than three colors I don't like in a batch of anything random, I don't buy it. I have horrible luck and don't want to waste the money on a color I wouldn't like. I might spend $10 if I got to choose, though. It all depends. If the price was, say, $5 I would probably go for it and buy a couple in hopes of getting the color I want. Haha. Random is fun, but only when you like any thing you might get.

Seriously WANT...all of them. Though I would like to see the SugarSkull replaced, maybe with a Banana Swirl. (I would love a Maneki Neko version, though I'm probably the only person who does XD )

I have a concern.. I don't have a problem with the random figurine boxing, can there be a guarantee that there won't be duplicates in the box? (ie: 2 Heatwaves in one box). Unless this is something that is already assumed/confirmed.

I have four of those Vinylmation figures, Nyxie. :D That are LOVE. I am only sad I didn't get the Tower of Terror one. ;3; *got Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain instead*

can there be a guarantee that there won't be duplicates in the box? (ie: 2 Heatwaves in one box) < - agreed there with chibi P: I would hate to get like 3 and get 3 of the same or even 2 in a batch of 5 ordered. With Aywas not being something "name brand" there's a huge likely hood that there isn't anyone close to trade with. ~Kirema

@Aion- I have close to 20 of them now :D I love those little things so much.

Trading would be a fun idea, but very costly. xD; All that shipping. Ouch. *Nyxie - NICE! :D I plan to go to Downtown Disney soon and try and grab some more. I think I'll stick with the Parks, because the Urban one didn't give me anything nice. xD I got like... An ice cream bar one or something. They are addictive, I swear. *wants all the parks*

You only get one in a box!

I would not pay cash, but I might pay GP (though honestly, I'd probably spend on in game things more).

Ones I dislike: sugar skull, zombie, vampire-y one (I'm not sure what this one is actually called).

One I would really, really, really love to see: African Wild Dog.
