VMK Tie ins......

[Maleficent2]

We have talked about it before( just being lazy this morning and did not go pull up old threads)

What would you like to see the DISNEY Marketing Team produce as far as merchandise to tie in with VMK and the Parks.


I am sill waiting and wish for our Build a VMK character dolls with clothes and VMK trading card packs ( like pokemon packs) without the purchase of a pin and more cards per pack and codes for virtual items of course.

Key chains

T-shirts that we can customize would also be an excellent idea.


What ideas do you have?

 

[HappyGoLucky]

I would like magnets!

I would like to turn the pins I recently purchased into magnets. I will absolutely not wear them as pins, but I would certainly put them on my fridge or metal board.


Also, I think the "flat" magnets would be cool. They could look like the pins we already have in the game, i.e. Pirate Set or Everest Set, or they could be the Magic Pins Set (without magic capability of course lol), or something entirely new - wow!

 

[Maleficent2]

MAgnets Cool idea!

 

[peasy]

A glass or coffee cup maybe? I'd rather be playing vmk... Or even just the VMK logo would be neat.

I love the idea of a t-shirt or hat with an image of my character on it.

Oh and they REALLY should sell the bird hats at Disneyland/WDW.

Awesome...Mal... Love the ideas!! I would love to see them make some T-shirts that we could customize! I mean how cool would that be if we could..and just think of all the publicity vmk and Disney could get! And YES cards and of course with codes! It sure would be so exciting too.

OF course the magnets also sound cool too

Mickey Ears, VMK style

VMK Snowglobes

VMK Figurines (customizable based on VMK avatar)

Regular plain old trading cards based on the game, maybe cards for each area with a description on the back... that kind of thing

 

[VirtuallyMe]

I know I put a lot on the older threads too...

VMK trading cards would be the best- something we could order -not just get from the parks- they could have lots of codes with regular buyable merchandise for fillers with each pack having something new and rare included and then some ultra rare cards thrown in to keep us buying and buying and buying...

Also- I think the Herbie promotion was great way to encourage purchase of non-virtual items and believe they could put codes into many different Disney DVD's and CD's- and for that matter with other disney games or toys already on the market.

I love the idea of cusomizable merchandise like the dolls, tshirts, mugs etc- but would settle for some general VMK related merchandise that wasn't all the Everest stuff or "cute or Boot"

I think the pins have proven to Disney that there is a big market for the vmk merchandise- I'm sure there are a few people out there who were actually wanting the different pins and could care less about the cards included- but I'm willing to bet far more were paying the money for those cards...

So once Disney can get an adequate amount of those- for the people who would like them- I'd love for them to release more sets- as a beginning pin trader- thanks to my Pin obessed Zeta Sisters that I went to the parks with- it would be fun to have something new to look out for and get

Ok- since all of those have been mentioned- how about dolls/action figures of the NPC's- they could make them in cute little collector boxes and could have versions that say the corny phrases that the characters say in the game=

VMK Snowglobes

I collect snowglobes, so I think that would be really cute! In the future I could see a VMK snowglobe sitting next to my epcot globe one!

 

[tolkien7]

I would like a baseball hat with the VMK logo on it. I bought a couple of the VMK tee shirts from Zazzle, but I didn't like most of the choices. I would also like a VMK tote bag to carry to work.

They DO sell the bird hats at disneyland...I went to disneyland last June (sadly, a few days before I discovered VMK) and my mother and I noted all these grown up men all over the park in these silly pirate hats with Seagulls on them...they were loving them! So they must have been selling them. I swear, every male from teen to forty had one on his head that day!

 

[Maleficent2]

What awesome ideas!

I hope Disney Marketing reviews this thread and implements some if not all of them SOON! They are missing such a great marketing tool!

They do also sell VMK T-shirts im not sure if the link is still on the site but ill post a pic of me with my everest one on.

I would love to see some of the VMK items made into miniatures and maybe even have a "Build your VMK Character" with a action figure or doll. You choose the clothing, hats, shoes, pants. And start a whole set of Clothing for these figures to sell and even have a model of different VMK rooms and items

 

[CapEldano2]

I think Disney would make a lot of money by making VMK brand Bird Hats. I'm confident that if we took a poll on which was our favorite hat (that isn't already a hat in the parks) in VMK, bird hat would win. Also, I would like to see more pins or maybe even a VMK lanyard medal. A VMK lanyard would rock too to put all our VMK pins on (if we had them ). As a hat lover I think we need hats with the VMK logo on it too.

I remember seeing threads about these "homemade" seagull hats; some folks obviously went all out! I know I have never seen them sold that way in the park.

I'm guessing you must have been there during some kind of VMK meet.

I had a dream about this...

During the Halloween Season, I dreamt that I went to a Disney Store and picked up a set of Halloween-themed cards that had codes for VMK items.

Let me translate that dream into a more reliable thought:

They can sell these Card Packs (as VirtuallyMe has described) in Disney Stores.

 

[peasy]

Don't tease me Pirate! Can you imagine a little stand near the register with different cards for sale? Maybe even in the little foil packages so you don't know exactly what you are getting.

I love the idea of the NPCs as little figurines...

I wish they could plan ahead far enough to have a VMK calendar with all the special dates on it and the pics for each months theme.

 

[swimmingneno]

love the calender!!!! but like a lisence plate boreder that says ' id rather be playing VMK!

 

[Debs5angels]

I would like to see a product that you could make that looks just like your paticular character not just any old vmk character.

 

[PirateBell]

Oh what a cool idea on the Calenders! That would be cool if they could put the dates on there of things coming up!
I collect figurines too so I would to be able to collect them.
I also love the Laynard idea... That would be also to have one of them!!

We have some great ideas here I sure hope that they are lsitening to us! They sure could make a bounch of money off all this!!

Here is my homemade CHICKEN hat.... (and it's a happy hat now, with all my Pirate VMK pins on it!)

I like the idea of trading cards....

More pins....

How about a Yavn Doll... or Hostie Dolls? Would Hula just die if she found out she would be a Doll!
