The title says it all here, this Casey sticker is our first piece of physical TRW merchandise!

For years I've been wanting to set up a physical merch store, but found I only ever had the choice between two evils: either sign up with a print on demand service, where they take 90% of what I'd make and I'd have to charge $30 for a mouse pad to see any tangible profit from it, or I could print and ship the product myself, which requires space and, more to the point, time, that I have never had so far. 

But that changed when we hit our last stretch goal! Thanks to your support, Kal has been able to slowly scale back on his day job and focus more on working with me to expand the world of TRW. He found us a guy in England with the printing equipment we need who's willing to work for hire, so we're off and running. 

Though we're not ready to roll these out just yet, as there are still a few details to sort. Such as how we'll go about setting up a storefront to take orders, and how we'll go about taking payments....okay, maybe those are pretty big details. But we've got a means to produce and someone to handle shipping, and those feel like big steps. 

So the question I'm asking today is: how interested are you guys in this kind of thing? Would you be inclined to buy a sticker with your favorite TRW character on it? Or would you be more interested in something like a mouse pad, pin, coffee mug or poster print? In addition to using my own OC's, I plan on doing some fan art stickers as well. (They don't come after you for selling those unless you sell like a zillion copies as I understand it.) 

So at this early stage, feedback is crucial. if you have any opinions or input at all, we'd love to hear it in the comments.

Although I don't personally use stickers or anything like that I would absolutely buy a mousepad, pins, mugs, or poster prints. Especially if there were lewd and non lewd varieties of those items. That sort of thing has always interested me.

dattzaph

So anything relatively unobtrusive in the sense of lewdness would be super great in terms of merch. I cant personally buy physical items and hope to use them regularly unless they're stealthy

I'd buy stickers, keychain or tshirt but under the condition that European shipping won't cost me an arm or a leg. That has unfortunately pretty much been my only problem with merch from American creators

KainRezo072

Stickers, mouse pad, pins, everything. I'd buy it all.

Squid Hills

I don't have much use for stickers, but I've been in the market for a decent slutty mouse pad for years, now. I also drink coffee, so mugs are a great idea, too. Also, as someone else mentioned "lewd" and "non-lewd" versions of your products would be fantastic, as well.

Jeremy Joanes

Speaking off merch do you think you might collect the comic into a physical edition?

Sanctusmorti

Mousepad, physical copy of the comics, t-shirt and maybe a mug I would buy if I liked the design. Stickers? not so much unless it tickled my humour a lot. I guess I could stick it on a plain mug and hope it lasts?

Jeremy Joanes

Also to answer the question i would get some stickers. Maybe like a sticker pack with popular characters on them

Andreas Böttcher

I would like to get some of everything, and since I live in Europe a printer from England is also a nice addition

John D'Alessandro

I'd buy stickers, t-shirts, mugs, posters, stuff like that !! It all sounds great!

Bob Fink

I agree t-shirts would be cool, as long as the price is right, stickers as well.

kaldonis

pins and posters should be possible from my contact. I'm looking into the mousepads but need to find a place that doesn't require a minimum order of 100 units to keep the costs low.

kaldonis

I'm going to be handling all the shipping while the merch is in its infancy and I will endeavour to keep the shipping costs as low as possible. Nothing gets on my nerves more than paying for something then having to pay shipping costs that almost equals the actual item. I'll have more details for everyone as soon as I can.

kaldonis

I'm sure lewd and non-lewd will be an option but if we want to use paypal as a payment method we have to be very careful in what we are selling. I'll have more details as soon as I can for everyone.

kaldonis

The stickers my contact can make, will be able to be hand washed. But I would much prefer to be able to have a true mug that wont have the image ruined by a dishwasher or repeated washings. Seems I have to look into mouse pads a lot more too XD

kaldonis

It is great but no matter where someone lives I'm going to do my best to keep the shipping costs as low as possible.

It's problematic. It's one thing to pay for high quality porn for myself but flaunting it could problematic. That Casey in your (?) hand, for example, is way too exposed for me to put anywhere public. I have kids, employees, etc. IMO if you want it to succeed you have to offer more modest versions. Something your followers will recognize but won't be to questionable to display openly.

Doorknob22

One last thing: I'd be happy to buy anything with Courtney on it if she's more or less modest.

Blueno

That casey sticker would look great in my room tho. Even a poster of that would be nice

Escafreya

I would probably buy one everything you make. I’m most interested in a physical book, a collection of the comics. I already have a bookshelf full of hentai tankoubon, but I would love to add some of your works to that collection.

HadesTheLame

I love the sticker! Although if you had mugs or pins I would be more inclined to do those

Emmett McMullan

Novelty mugs are some of my favorite pieces in my house, so I'd definitely be excited about a mug! Stickers I could see getting a few of, but I've never been a major stickerer. I would definitely be happy to see any of the characters in 2D, chilling on the side of my PC case though. If my employment and income changes enough, I could definitely see getting a mousepad or a playmat for playing cards or sorting things (like an Ultrapro or Inked-style MTG playmat). I have an important caveat about mousepads though: I have nothing personally against mousepads that have the ergonomic wrist rest shaped like a woman's boobs or ass, but I know that I would definitely not buy one because it doesn't fit my aesthetic at all.

MechaBlerd

Man, I know who I'd want a sticker of!

LordRion

Definitely will buy

Ally

I might be wrong about this, but I think I saw from other creators, that mugs require a prohibitively huge order to be profitable. Hope I'm wrong, as it'd be neat.

eF..cz

Stickers and maybe magnets (foils). My fridge needs to look hotter. :)

WarSapphire

Boob mouse pad for the win! That Casey sticker looks great and I'd be interested in a few of the other girls getting stickers of their own. Posters would be awesome and maybe blank or lined notebooks with one or a group of girls on the front would be sweet as well.

Reinbach

Well all of them would at least have to be on the sexy side. I'm not about to try an sell a sticker or Bria wearing several layers of heavy coats, but I get what you mean.

Reinbach

Would love to do a physical book in the future someday if possible. It would be a lot of work, as I've never been bothered to properly format and size the pages to industry standards. But it's not impossible.

Reinbach

I hear you, but with Courtney in particular, her breasts are so impossibly huge I'm not sure there's any outfit I could put her in that would be ok for kids to see. XD

Reinbach

Cool! Prints are certainly on the table.

Reinbach

Good to hear! Those are in the works. :)

Reinbach

Cool! Thanks for sharing! :)

Reinbach

Yeah we might be able to do magnets in the future! :)

Reinbach

Worth looking into for sure!

Reinbach

Doing 3D mousepads may be above our capacity this early on anyway. If we do them in the future, we'd certainly offer flat variations as well.

David

All of them, but i'd really like physical copies of Switch or TRW. That would ve A W E S O M E

MechaBlerd

A certain unhinged nurse. Edit: Actually, maybe Paige!

.

Need something to cove that apple...

Would love to see that pose on a literal bombshell, like DC Bombshells, but Casey!

Mark Gloade

The art belongs on a plane, its time to bring back the age old tradition of nose art

Reinbach

Hey sorry I somehow missed this one. That's definitely something I'd like to do someday!
