Description
At long last, the prototype of my very first game toy is finished! This is just a shot of the front of the box and the back -- the contents will remain a secret until the official debut.Obviously still rough around the edges and not cellophane wrapped -- the mass production version will use lighter materials, won't have those kinds of visible tears and will have the cellophane wrap for protection. ^^

Thank you! ^^
Although I'm not fond of high-balling, I think I'll do $40 given the cost of the Nerf gun and some time required to build the more delicate parts. ^^
(plus it's actually competitive to some board game prices these days, and none of those have poniez)

Okay, sounds like a good price. How many of these do you plan on making?

At the moment I can make up to 30, but so far the process isn't quite as fast as I'd like it to be. But I guess it's just a matter of practice -- just got done with a copy for a friend, but I'm pretty sure the next two (for another great friend of mine who's going to CG) will be even faster, now that I have most of the components batch-assembled now. ^^
[will need to buy more chipboard soon, though....] ^^:

haha, it's hard to predict how I'll be like in a month or two. I'm sure I'll still be selling them then,... but there may be many reasons why I might not be able to either. We'll see, I guess. ^^:

Okay, Hmm, you think you could note me before you aren't able to sell them anymore, so I can get it then? I'd really hate to miss out on this! ;(

After a meetup tomorrow, I'll begin the mass production in earnest (today was just a cool-down and some fun). I'm a little worried I might be underestimating demand, but my supplies should hold for a while I think. ^^

Are you actually going to sell this? Won't Hasbro have a conniption?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
C-quel In reply to BlackWidower [2012-09-21 17:49:46 +0000 UTC]
Yes I will, and probably about as much as they've had with custom pony makers -- and in fact, this is still technically a "custom" since I'm essentially over-decorating a Nerf gun (made by Hasbro) with a Twilight skin and a fancy box. So like with customs, Hasbro is getting a cut of the share in a way.
I also make sure not to mention My Little Pony or Hasbro (or even myself for that matter), use nothing but custom artwork (no show vectors), and I don't display pricing information in the description (besides which I haven't decided on that yet, although my goal is affordability).

Why thank you so much, so surprised considering it's but a lowly little game toy. ^__^
The upcoming board game idea will be thrice as large and many times more clever, so I'm really psyched about that one too. XD

That's why you need to switch to a tablet, so it'll register on the screen the moment you toss money at a Paypal button.
