Lack of official merchandise- Ideas?
Yay, it was just the bug!
Ok, I have a friend who makes plushie fern hounds, in a variety of sizes. She can’t mass produce them, naturally, but who wouldn’t want one of these? She does them crouching or sitting, and the tail is free to wag.

Omggggg that is so cute.
Testing — forum bug? I only see a blank reply box, not the whole thread.
It wouldn’t even let me test when I tried! It was a bugged bug.
And I’d love one of those fern hound plushies for my daughter. Her dire wolf pup needs a friend.
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
SAB cuddley toys, or figures or w/e. Even cooler if they made the in-game noises. :P
I just looked at the Shop and there are slim pickings when it comes to merch. Aside from an awesome-looking Charr plush, we just have a few novels, an art book and a strategy guide.
Plus the Charr is not Tybalt!!!!!
Problem with RW game merch is that not company wants to be stuck with inventory. Which is why they might have shirts at launch but choose not to restock once supplies are gone.
Simple solution to that. Use cafepress or such.
GW2 tanktops,…heck you could even do a GW2 skirt or dress, that would be cool!!
backpacks of every race!!
I’ve been wanting gw2 merchandise forever. Wow and ff14 pump that stuff out
I’d like to see the GW2 Jeremy Soule cd pack offering again – I’d definitely would jump at the chance to buy it.
I know some of these are not official merchandise items (inspired by GW2) but if you google Guild Wars 2 and select shopping you can see in the first couple of pages at least
Rytlock figurine
Poster art
Mouse
Mouse pad
Headset
Tshirts in various designs
Stickers in various designs
Quaggan plushie
Baseball cap
Quaggan backpack
Friendship necklaces and other jewellery
I gave up looking after 4 pages.
World of Warcraft has this thing called Figureprints.
That would be totally cool… though with the amount of detail that goes into GW2 characters, as well as customization…. I don’t think it will ever become a reality.
Rytlock figurine
This was part of the collectors edition.
I would definitely buy more plushies. And anything I can wear in public that would allow me to meet other players.
Super Adventure "Lunch"Box.

Towels

I would be fine if they just re-released the Artbooks.
However other Ideas:
- Pins (skill pins, like in GW1. Commander Taco. Race Signs, etc… )
- Figurines of key characters
- Official Apps (Newsfeed for example)
- Clothing (T-Shirts, Hoodies, Scarfs, Beanies, Sweatband)
- Keyring ornament
- A simple Cardgame with Artwork on it (Poker cards. Queen Jenna as Queen for example)
- Plushies (Charrs, Quaggan, etc…)
- SD-Figurines. Like these from POP! or so.
Just a few ideas, which were certainly be mentioned before.
Action figures of your actual character would be fantastic. A 3D printer could easily do this as ANet have all the information from your account at their fingertips. Then it would need dressing in armour but they could offer choices from a selection.
If ANet started doing this then I honestly have no idea how much money I would be willing to pay to have my two fave chars standing on my desk.
Welcome to the Internet, exposing characters since the early 80’s.
I would be fine if they just re-released the Artbooks.
Please this, a re-print would be amazing. I’ve been trying to get hold of one for a long time!
I would totally see Profession specific T-shirts. Just without too much going on. Nice and stylish. I would totally buy Necro one.
Besides that, Grenth hoodie?
Just one thing. Don’t make those as overpriced as Blizzard stuff is. And have them in Europe, too. I don’t want to pay a fortune for shipment.

Okay I think Plushies are a must at this point lol.
You could literally make it a collection … release x amoount of plushies lol..
Hey I’m a guy and I would buy loads xD
Sylvari hound ftw
RIP City of Heroes
There are companies that can churn this merchandise out at breakneck speed with zero to minimal cost to Anet. There is nothing but profit to be made. Hopefully their current legal team up to par with liscencing approvals.
How Anet has not even thought about it yet is beyond words. This is how you grow customers, retain customers and create lifestyle branding that insures lasting marketshare.
GIVE ME MERCH AND TAKE MY MONEY!
things I would immediately drop cash on-
-Hoodies
-tee shirts, give us ladies a fitted version too!
-Car decals
-mugs
-Cell phone case
-high quality full size posters
-love the previous posters idea for an app with updates
The Dank Miss-Mesmer/Autumn Artemis-Ranger/Method Smoker-Ele
Is it me or does it seem kind of weird that the strategy guide is in the store? One would think after the game has changed so much it would be rather useless today.
Some ideas:
Gw2 lego sets
full size weapons to help out the cosplayers
more novels on minor characters
statues that don’t cost an arm and a leg
Gw2 cookbook
Anet are totally missing a trick here. I already have tons of gw2 stuff, I buy t shirts etc from places like Redbubble, (Excelsior!, and More Violets Less Violence which is super gorgeous) and I have a brilliant quaggan hat my brother bought me for my birthday, don’t know where he got it from though. I’d pay almost anything for a quaggan backpack, it would have to be a proper one though, with the button eye hanging off and the little fishy zipper
And plushies…I love plushies, don’t think I could resist hilarious ones like risen or skritt or….how about a golem one that when you squeeze it it plays the musical good-morning, good-morning, good-morning thing you hear in Metrica sometimes? I already have that as my ringtone and a different version for my alarm tone
I would totally buy the cookery book. Instabuy
More novels. Yes yes yes.
Omg Spirited Was Eceni, what a great idea, I would totally kill for dress-up dolls of my chars!
Would like a keychain, to go with my Serenity one
Zephyr Sanctum model, OMG YES, let’s face it, look at what people (that may or may not include me…) are willing to play for a model Millenium Falcon!
I’m searching like mad for HoT T shirts etc but looks like no-one’s making any yet So that would be another instabuy (make sure to include girlie-fit Anet )

Uh I may buy 45 figurines if they offer this . ..
maybe we can get a free t-shirt if we pre order HoT ????
You should make official GW2 fruit snacks called “Fruit Snaffs”!
Just think, you could eat little fruity Snaffs, Zoijas, Eirs, Logans, Rytlocks, Caithes, Kralkatorriks, and Glints!
Practically 3 years into the game and still no merchandise? What happened to those T-Shirts we voted on….yeah..not holding my breath for this one.
Hey guys,
Thought I would post a picture of some of the merchandise that already exists out there (all be it pretty rare)
Gw2 T shirt, Bandana and Shattered Figurine. I also have all the art books but those are nothing new. I would love to see a white Hoodie with the red GW2 logo on it or maybe a beanie.
Is that a charr attacking the shattered box? :P
I would love to buy a nice map of Tyria to hang up
or a big stuffed quaggan to hug
Quaggan hats!
haha I actually don’t have the hats in game but would probably where one IRL :P
I doubt you’d ship it to me, but still ANet think of all the money! At present the shop is looking a bit empty https://www.guildwars2.com/en/shop/
Also Rytlock Revenant Plushie XD
I am overwhelmed by the excellence of your suggestions.
Seriously, I will share this thread. It’s great to hear your ideas!

I’d consider buying action figures or figurines. Only if they weren’t limited edition in the same way those statues were.
- Artwork, either in framed or artbook form
- A lore book.
- Kindle/ipad covers. They’d prob be outsourced and made to order though, with a range of designs from brand to concept artwork. Could work out expensive, but would look stylish.
A replica of the GW2 toaster Josh Foreman used to destroy Ascalon
A T-shirt with “[F] Talk” written onto a green paintbrush stroke just like in the game.
The only thing I want is a life size Wintersday Quaggan Plushie. The one with the button eye that hangs out on a strand, and has oversized stitching. In backpack form would be even better.
|Daredevil|Ranger|Guardian|Scrapper|Necromancer|Berserker|Dragonhunter|Mesmer|Elementalist
|Deadeye|Warrior|Herald|Daredevil|Reaper|Spellbreaker
Lol forum ‘Kitten’ t-shirts would be good XD
I would love to see iron on patches of the professions, the orders and of the races. Car decals would be awesome too.
Something else would be that you guys seem to sell the wall prints. Seeing more of those would be great. Different places, some with the dragons, or maybe custom ones that we can put our own characters in. Different sizes would be wonderful as well in case someone doesn’t want the whole wall covered.

I want a lighter modeled after incinerator.
Roy Cronacher Live Stream Replica Polo Shirt. 100 bucks per shirt easy.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Mounts-Confirmed/first#post5124978
Also maybe a Roy Cronacher Live Stream Replica Outfit in the gem store.
For 10.000 gems and only available for 24 hours. Goldmine.
I would delete all my alts for this.

Jack-in-a-box style, I hope.
A limited edition with a CJ Bobblehead should be shipped to the first 10 orders on April 1st, 2016.
That smile on a bubble head?
You better sleep with sun glasses.

How about a Mini Mystic Forge for my desk?
Something where i can throw in four different kinds of garbage and i only get one kind of garbage back?
And sometimes, if I am lucky, I get a carrot back?
And where i could promote my woollen clothes into satin bed sheets, if i combine them with a bit of dust from around the flat, some stones from the garden and mums pyjamas?
I would buy it.

Pint glasses and coasters please. And some 3′×2′ logo posters.
I would just enjoy an app on my phone that lets me mingle with guild options and talk to friends
-Retired Thief
The only item I would consider ever buying is a t-shirt that says “My other t-shirt is an in-game item in Guild Wars 2”, which a key to unlock a matching in-game t-shirt that says “My other T-Shirt is Out of This World”.
The Art Book reprint pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase <3
I want a necklace with the GW2 logo in silver.

Well, one of your devs (Josh Foreman I think) actually did some wonderful Wurm lamps a while ago. I know he said he broke the mold, but still… This could have been a really cool merchandise idea. :p
