ends Sunday 8:43 am EST! I understand taking on Sanrio with potentially, over time, millions of new non-crypto people from around the world falling in love with nouns is not the best idea for many... it was a pleasure to go through the process with you. However this ends, nouns is working. Thank you all. ⌐◨-◨

nouns is not a character brand - but a protocol with an art layer which can serve as an attractant. That which is currently functioning would continue: nouns would have an extra pocket going after that tiny touch of Snoopy’s market share, bringing a growing percentage of an increasing number of new people.

I no longer attend trade shows for Uglydoll, we use reps + distributors. Nouns has to earn the use of reps... they need to see you at 3M or so (I would give it 3 years) so I would have to be on the ground at all trade shows, especially in Japan, US and Germany. Too important not to. Sorry, missed this.

someone expressed disappointment that sofubi is not in the new prop, so I highlight here for clarity...as it is indeed in there: Nouns Sofubi will be at super festival and Tokyo Gift Fair to expose to proper retail buyers (and produced at our own expense, not part of the ask in our prop)

If Snoopy wants to stay at the Hallmark store in your small town USA, Peanuts has to perform here at LOFT Shibuya, 6th floor. It’s a dance few realize is happening, and where many character brands go from zero to global over time. We got our start here. No kids. https://x.com/davidzhorvath/status/1682586201578958848

Very good question, wanted to make more visible. Need to be able to respond quickly to all interest from retail, reps and distributors. Greater quantities, far better price. It’s not round 2, it’s just one single round. I produced the first small wave of plush on my own after the retailer expressed concern with the sofubi and bags that nouns was not “ours”. The plush being crafted in uglydoll fur by the uglydoll designer settled worries/confusion, and the entire section performed well. i had to fedex them to make it in time, can’t put 100 dolls on a container, cost just to make 100 at a time not viable/factory has minimum order quantity , did as a favor, have to order minimum fabric roll per color.

BTW the nouns sofubi will be with us at all 3 Super Festivals right next to the Budokan alongside the plush, and we will produce all on our own dime, that's 100% happening regardless.

Voting has started so I will refrain from posting much more unless there are specific questions, (direct message or public) I’ll be sure to reply as soon as I can.

the vote has started! Thank you for your time, regardless. This prop is based on a design which sold out over a weekend (was supposed to last one month) at a higher rate than what Uglydoll sells at per this location, and if passed, will focus on Japan first, then Taiwan, Korea and USA after.

The goal isn't awareness, but for an increasing number of new people to draw nouns inwards into their daily life. We have done this with our own brands, just as other lifestyle character brands have, by using plush as a mechanism of discovery, leading the subconscious to the larger program. ⌐◨-◨

Sanrio is not in the toy business. The reason the plush is usually front and center is to create an opportunity for you to hold the brand in your hand and create a connection. It is surrounded by the other components of the program, typically comprised of things that are useful in daily life, so that you immediately make the subconscious realization that this is not a toy or a collectible you put on a shelf, but a brand to bring inwards and make part of your life. The plush is a mechanism to draw you closer and then to hopefully make a connection: it’s the point of first culture contact, first impression, the beginning of a relationship quite literally. Same thing with Snoopy, Totoro, moomin , Miffy, Uamou, Pusheen, and our own work. We have sold millions of pieces of plush over the years, but we are not in the toy business. (the prop explains I will be supplying the bags on my own dime, and the hope is to open up shelf space overtime for other noun creators, who like to work in the real world)
