Pintsize and Winslow Toys

FuseUnison:
Hi,

I'm brand spankin' new here, so if I'm about to make myself look completely stupid through my own ignorance, or make some sort of faux pas....please forgive.

Anywho...

I was wondering if anyone else thinks that action figures of Pintsize and Winslow would be WONDERFUL ideas.  I would buy 10 of each! (no real reason, i just get carried away sometimes)

If this has already been done and they were discontinued, or if it's been researched in the past and deemed too costly from a marketing stand point, ....I wasn't aware, and pretend I said nothing.   :oops:

A fan of the strip brought a stuffed Winslow-like backpack to a Con once upon a time. Of course, that's not much of a stretch, since you'd only need to make a plushie iPod and put an appropriate face/arms/legs on it.

Pintsize might be a little harder to put together.

Jeph's the copyright holder, so merchandising something like that's completely up to him - especially since he makes his living off the merchandise. 

But no, it hasn't been done, at least not in any mass-produced commercial way.  You could try pitching it to him... but you'd probably have to corner him at a con with a prototype. 

jwhouk:
We do have the Squishable Yelling Bird, so a move to something like Winslow or Pintsize might be doable. The only problem with Winslow is that Apple's copyright lawyers would be on Jeph like flies on manure.

Ok, I'll freely admit to my poorly disguised subterfuge, lol.  My original post was kind of a, *cough* please make Pintsize toy *cough*.   I just thought that if enough people posted giving support to the idea, said idea might come to fruition somehow someday.  Oh well, was at least worth a try I guess.  And regarding approaching Mr. Jacques with a prototype, I haven't the skill to produce such a thing.  Also, I haven't the means to travel to a convention even if I could find someone to make a prototype for me.

Thanks for the responses though everybody.   :-D
