More milking FFVII merchandise

They should learn from George Lucas and put out a figure for every single single enemy and friendly/neutral NPC, no matter how minor. Someday when I am rich (:monster:) I would love to be able to recreate the entire Junon scene with all the Shinra troops with their various rocket launchers and firearms facing off against Saphire WEAPON. Is that too much to ask?

But if this is the type of merchandise they want to make, at least get something awesome. Like a coffee thermos shaped and detailed like the Shinra 26. I'd buy the hell out of that, especially if it has an angled bottom so it stands with a lean :awesome:

And then you can look like you're being orally raped by 4 dicks while you're drinking :awesome:

This is the merchandise foreshadowing the coming of Square's new tv show:

"The Shinra Company Office", the next evolution in sitcom entertainment.

(Never imagined I'd have a reason to post these, from a very talented artist and cosplayer in Japan.....seriously he looks 99.9%/100% like Vincent)

I live in hope.

Proof that the cup is canon, and that we all simply failed to notice it in the OG:

Rufus can even equip it as an optional weapon:

Does the weapon work along the lines of Cait Siths megaphones?

What I really want to know though...is it glass or plastic? I hate those plastic cup things, they always get scratched up and harbour germs. Also is it dishwasher safe?!

I like the idea of loads of NPC FFVII figures, I want a figure of the red headed girl with the black jacket in the slums, or the punky spitting guy near the Honey Bee Inn 'Shore is a fine looking heifer you got there' Or that guy who works for Don Corneo who is like ASDA's own brand Reno.

Shinra headed notepaper would be nice, and really fucking cheap to produce.

Shinra office supplies ftw!

but then they'd have to start seling buildings and monsters and such and then we'll end up with people putting up Nibelheim villages instead of Christmas ones.

He uses it to throw champagne in his enemies's faces. Damage depends on the vintage.

He has an entire warehouse full of the things that the Shinra retail outlets failed to shift. When he's done with one, he throws it away. No cleaning needed.

Or could be Reno's twin brother. Fanfic ahoy.
Yes - I'd love some NPCs. Mukki. And the Sector Seven train guard, I love him. And Choco Billy. Even Wooly Hat man from ACC. But you know what they'd give us? They guy in the overalls and the girl in the jeans from Crisis Core.

I would so buy this.

It's like they don't even grasp what's iconic within their own game. They give Rufus a CUP, but they don't sell Rude's sunglasses? Or Tseng's scrunchy?

In those Shinra office pics, i really love how Vincent is reading the gun catalogue whenever he gets a few minutes off from Sephiroth's photocopying.

I want a Tifa haircomb. It should be a white normal haircomb, with Tifa written on it, please. :monster:

Like this.


Tifa can be written on the handle.

But what is Tifas handwriting like? I always assumed that the 'Rufus' on the banners and such was Rufus' own signature.

The value of this comb has now increased tenfold. And that, children, is how the merchandising department operate at Square-Enix.
 
You know, what's so depressing is that they could easily make all kinds of stuff that people would actually really want and treasure.
Where is my Tseng action figure?

If Sephiroth wanted an office, Shinra would bloody well give him an office. :monster: Pre-insanity anyway.

Rufus uses Jager bomb!

It's super effective!

I agree that they should make figures of all the characters. I'd buy them. Heck, I bought the crappy fall-apart figures back in 1997 when those came out. So high quality figures would be nice.

Not to ask a stupid question, but does a Cid figure even exist yet?

Probably not, cause Cid doesn't get enough love. It should be noted that even if there is a good quality Cid figure, he STILL is not getting the love he deserves because Cid kicks ass. I demand a custom Zippo lighter with Cid's name and that chick painted on the Highwind engraved. Now that would be both A.) something the character would actually own, and B.) fucking awesome.

I agree, that would be an inspired piece of mechandising.
In theory I quite like the idea of being able to buy things that the characters might have actually owned. The Shinra ID cards were a good idea, for example. But that kind of mechandising requires more thought than was put into the cup.

That would totally be getting stuffed down my bra :awesome:

Actually, I've seen a few of the figures close up at a friends house, both the old-style ones and post AC and I have never been impressed with the quality. If I ever had the time, I'd probably try and make my own.
