Bloodstained Merch

I enjoy Lucky Charms Cereal. So yeah.. Do that but with crystals. Yum!

Hey folks, I looked through your merch suggestions really quick and posted my thoughts for each item below. Please keep in mind that this list doesn’t imply that we’ll actually produce any or all of these items, it’s just what I think would be doable for us.

• Miriam Waifu Pillow - Not really our style.

• Miriam horn head piece - Interesting, but probably too expensive/niche.

• Whip - Too niche and already readily available from other stores.

• Stained glass art - This is interesting! If we could make a solid concept, I’d be into it.

• Endless Castle Corridor like This with hidden wall - Not really our style.

• Jewelry like the rose on Miriam's chest, etc. - This sounds great.

• This coffee / tea cup - Too off-model.

• Cheap low-quality action figures - Not really our style.

• Plushies - Possibly!

• Legends of Localization book - Interesting!

• Vepar mug - I’m not exactly sure how that would look?

• Bestiary cards - Sounds interesting. Maybe as a trading card pack?

• Card game - You’d probably need another Kickstarter to develop that

• Poker cards - These were actually part of an earlier draft of backer rewards we pitched. I’d definitely be interested in making custom playing cards!

• Tarot cards - Possibly! They certainly fit the theme well.

• Letter opener - Probably not, we'd likely have a lot of customs related issues, since it could be considered a knife.

• Bracelet - Possibly, we haven’t made many wrist-accessories yet.

• Goofball (anything) - This is entirely dependent on whether or not Goofball is in the game >_>

• Vinyl record - This is certainly doable.

• Lamp - Not really in our wheelhouse.

• Moneyclip - Definitely doable, but the concept would need to be strong.

• Shotglass/wineglass - Not really our style.

• Shirts - YES.

• Posters - YES.

• Musicbox - The concept would need to be super-strong.

• Art book - We’re already making an art book as a Kickstarter reward. Maybe a non-Kickstarter version that isn’t as fancy?

• Game guide - A full players guide would be awesome, but would definitely take a lot of work to produce. It’s certainly possible though, as we’ve made/published several guides before.

• Soundtrack CDs - Definitely a solid product.

• Swordwhip - Not really in our wheelhouse.

• Pins - YES.

• Figurines - Possibly! If we do them we’d want them to look nice. Quality figurines are really expensive and take a long time to produce though.

• Ribbon Scarf - Possibly! The concept would need to be pretty strong.

• Rings - Wayyy too subjective with individual finger sizing to mass-produce.

• Coloring book - I’d actually really like something like that!

• Lunchbox - Probably too expensive and bulky to store in our warehouse to make sense logistically.

• Cereal - We’re not interested in food related items, as we would need to go through a lot of extra trouble to get certification to distribute food internationally.

• Flame thrower - I mean, I’d buy one.

• Chess set - Probably too expensive to develop/produce.

• Dice - Possibly! However the concept would have to be SUPER strong to tie it into Bloodstained.

• Keychains - YES!

Sooo...pretty much these items? I've seen multiple of the above listings as merch for other franchises such as Undertale.

I don't understand the point of this thread. Anyone could've predicted there would be posters, shirts and keychains.

Anything more interesting than the average generic merch is too expensive to produce.

I've added the poll. Please go to the top of this thread and vote on the Bloodstained merch you would actually be interested in purchasing from FanGamer. Thanks Fangamer Steve for your response which helped me know what to focus on. LeoLeWolferoux your notes made things easy as well.

Also, there's the matter of...what do you want on these posters, shirts and keychains?

edit: I CAN'T VOTE FOR EVERYTHING??

"Hey look, people at Discord were talking about Miriam body pillow."
"Pft. Miriam? If we were to EVER consider one, it would be Morte or Dullahammer."

said the ArtPlay team 2017.

So... no official Zangetsu body pillow either?



Well, just because something has been done in the past, it doesn't guarantee it'll happen in the future. Just because an option is available, it doesn't mean it'll actually get made. It's all gauging interest.

Plus, the people who backed the higher tiers of Bloodstained may be interested in buying even more merch after the game comes out; e.g. people who like Star Wars buying more than one type of Star Wars shirt or multiple Star Wars books in addition to owning the movies.

Dullahammer body pillow.  Make it happen.
