@Mastodon Will there be cuddly toys eventually?

@alexanderhay @Gargron @Mastodon maybe some of the crafting community on Mastodon can produce blue wooly mammoths and also share the sewing and knitting patterns for that? Would they get sued for making bootleg Mastodons? @Loukas @alexanderhay @Gargron @Mastodon Sounds like the kind of decentralisation the fediverse is all about… @Loukas @Gargron @Mastodon That reminds me of the company that made the first wave of soft toy Paddingtons. They were, ahem, 'unlicensed', but then the owners ended up having a friendly chat with Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, in the lift, and all differeces (and royalties) were resolved. This made the merch retrospectively legit, and it was all very high quality anyway. And the final twist? The owners of the firm were also the parents of... Jeremy Clarkson! |
@alexanderhay @Mastodon That would be lovely, but of course there's a bit more of an upfront cost to that. We're starting slow but we'll add more items over time as long as demand keeps up 🙂
