What was that noise? A Game Changer!

Finally, the reveal: we’ve teamed up with MGS:TUS to create an amazing new line of merchandise inspired byMetal Gear Solid. Thanks to Jon’s design geekery and Ryan’s code monkeying, if you preorder a shirt or bag you’ll not only get a high-quality piece of merchandise, but you’ll get a custom-engraved dogtag too :O

This is our first (of many) sets of merchandise whose profits will be going to support fansites. We think there’s no better way to truly support a franchise than by helping the fans help themselves (of course we’re a little biased). With that in mind, a portion of the shirt profits will go to the MGS:TUS folks and a portion of the profits from the bags will be going to support our friends at The Speed Gamers (who are doing a Metal Gear Marathon soon)!

In other merch news, lots of new stuff coming this weekend :D

  • EB Saga DVD plus free poster (!)
  • Shark Skateboard (limited edition of 50!)
  • New, non-auctiony Meeellla figurines (!!)
  • Chronometer reprint (plus a new color combo)
  • A little something to go with the CT shirts :)

Covert Merch!

Since yesterday, just prior to the very kind Kotaku mention which is going to have us filling orders all weekend (thanks Luke [seriously!]) we’ve been steadily adding new products to the store. You can see all the new stuff in the rightbar, but I’ll save the ‘official’ new-merch update for tomorrow evening.

If you’re subscribed to the mailing list, you might want to hold off on your purchase for another day or so—we’re hoping to send out a small coupon tomorrow night :) In the meantime, some miscellaneous news/announcements:

Shark Punk Auction

Yesterday we finished off the initial lottery where we sold the first five (of ten total) figurines, and we’re now auctioning off the remaining five figurines!

If you’re interested in placing a bid on a figurine, all you need is an account on the forum. Once you’re logged in, head to http://auction.fangamer.com, confirm that you want to enter the auction, and then place your bid before Monday night (May 11). Good luck!

Shark Punks Part 2: Drawing!

Shark Punk Figurine Lottery Drawing! Live on Sunday, May 3 2009 @ 7PM EST

We got about 250 lottery entries for Camille’s Shark Punks over the course of the last week! Pretty amazing :O

We were going to simply choose some random names and post them, but we decided to give it a little zazz. So Steve and I (and maybe Camille, if we can get her to show her face) will be broadcasting the drawing live this Sunday at 7PM EST on the Fangamer USTREAM!

And yes, there will be snacks.
