Recently Steele made a sweet t-shirt and in an rp Kira was talking about selling his merchandise. Back when this was the XHF, we used to have a forum specifically for merchandise that people made. They'd mock up stuff in photoshop or whatnot and then write a short description of the product (usually t-shirts and DVDs) I was wondering if there was enough interest for us to open up such a forum on here for the XHF Network so that people can show off their fake products. I'm not sure how many people are graphics guys so that certainly plays into it. What do you folks think? Here's a link to the old one obviously most of the images don't work any more

We do that in FIW too. it's really cool and an interesting idea for sure. I can't do photoshop or any picture editing besides like putting a filter on it, so i'll try to draw it and make it look decent or find a picture that's decent looking.

Plus Kira has some sponsers he'll plug in if we get a merch section too. You'll call him the human commercial or the human billboard!

Yeah if this Network version of it ends up being anywhere close to as good as the original one on our archive board then it'll be absolute gold in every way imaginable, nearly all of those old items as they got "released" on there one by one gradually had me howling with laughter when I first saw them back then, and I have no doubt that since AWF is every bit as great/firmly established already now as XHF itself was, that the same concept would be applied to it seamlessly at this point. So this without a doubt needs to be the next forum that gets resurrected ASAP if at all possible, I can only imagine some of the products that our various graphic makers could create for all these excellent Network era characters that currently exist.

I'm down with this idea. As well as just something fun to play around with a simple merch shop could actually add to character development too.
And that said, I've just thought up a pretty cool gimmick in the merch universe.

I think most of us would like merch for our characters and have fun thinking them up but the answer to the question will depend on the number of graphics guys who are game to do the dirty work for us.

Although at least AWF wise, it doesn't make sense for the AWF to make its own merchandise. It might make sense for some of the guys to make their own, but certainly not everyone.

Imagine a five year old wearing a Bradshaw t shirt.

Dude that ECF DVD I made back in the day is super comprehensive. It even includes when Mongo got run from the fed by Dagger after she kicked him in the nuts too many times! Fun times. Also I had forgotten just how much of a flagbearer Harry made me back in the day. There is like a whole DVD section of DT/Harry world title feuds where DT hands Harry his ass (and Harry was owner and booker) to help ECF survive the EWO ... damn ... also ... Bubba the Rapist ... there are no words...
Hey Mongo also this as a bonus feature: Interactive DVD Game: ECF Fighter - How many Kin-geri's can you as Dagger crush Mongo with! Her record is 3! FOR REAL! I'm so porting this post over here for posterity. That fake DVD took me a long time to make lol.
