Beyond that, I'd just go with the conventional merchandise: hats, T-shirts, tote bags, movie books, posters, pendants, paperweights and *wink-wink* brand-name safehouse markers.
Yes. Lots of hats, clothing, posters, mouse pads and other standard repositories for artwork from the movie. I'm also in favor of action figures. Perhaps ones where the human action figure had a gestalt form covering that fit over it like jointed armor. Or plushies (cute stuffed animals) that looked human one way, but could be turned inside out to become wolves. I've seen something similar done with a selkie (shapeshifting seal) toy.
As for products, well... First of all, I'd really prefer if the following did not advertise for Freeborn:
Pepsi
Breakfast Cereal
McDonalds / Burger King
Anything that goes in the freezer
i agree, no pepsi.... but, what about Coke?
"every set-back, a step foward. every failure, an extra oportunity for success. every day of defeat, a victory!"
I like the idea of action figures. I woul dsuggest Mc Farlene toys. Thought some of their stuff leaves me gagging because of a lack in quality, as a whole the quality works well.
Spawn Toys too is another pretty godoo company, imo..,
I liked, also, the wetworks line of werewolves. Now the style of the artist was capture in the sty;le of the toy. This is diffifcult to do, so it impressed me more. I have all three versions!

Ooh dont forget full body/partial Halloween Costumes ^_^
Maybe Freeborn can have a link to Burman/Cinema Secrets, etc for makeup, prosthetics hehe!

If you have to do costuming, that's really the only kind that I would recommend -- the kind that hang up in the display windows of Halloween stores and go for no less than three figures.
In all seriousness, with only one or two exceptions, I'd avoid slapping the Freeborn label on anything targeted predominantly at children. Quality costumes are fine, but not those rubber/cardboard things that come in air-tight plastic bags.

I agree, this doesn't look like it's going to be much of a children's movie anyway. (But I still want action figures.)
I don't suffer from lycanthropy, I enjoy every minute of it!
The Hulk Hands was exactly my inspiration for the suggestion. Though I do hope that if the werewolf claws are made and they do include sound effects, that there is a switch to turn it off.

Yes. When I said "action figures" I meant the kind aimed at adults and older teens.
*nods* That's one of the one or two exceptions I was thinking off -- the kind that are more detailed and designed for display as opposed to the kind that fire plastic projectiles. The other exception I thought of was plush dolls because, if Bandai can make a profit on Ein and Kiba plushies, Freeborn wolf plushies (or heck, maybe even The Pack member plushies) could have a decent market as well.
Somehow the image of a plushie Figarou with a duck ready to throw is rather amusing. I'm not sure how to feel about having a plushie me staring back at me, but I think I'm egotistical enough to like it.
Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

"action figures" are those that has moving parts. They are normally small.
If you want something for display...there is resin kits or the really big figures. Those don't have moving parts and they vary in price and size.

True. But some action figures are aimed at an adult market, though I suppose the higher-grade more expensive adult action figures could more easily be called posable sculptures.
If you ask me I really don't want to pick something up with Freeborn slapped apon the side. I'd go with just some better things, clothing and posters. While ofcourced I'd love to have a freeborn werewolf figure.

I hope Packwear/Freeborn stuff comes out soon! I'd like to get posters, t-shirts, duckies, sculptures, plushies, books, jewlery, bumper skickers, bedsheets( ) whatever...

We are moving into the computer industry shortly,
though I don't see sticking a label on our PC's would do much, but we could do mouse pads quite cost effectively and include on the back of invoices full sheet ads cheaply and many other things I'm sure that I'm not thinking about at the moment that I'd other wise would be mentioning, lol
Got any ideas we can talk free and play with ideas via email and such
Ohh and I love the meat idea!
Human science denies posibility if it does not understand we're real, yet natural science only proves what is posible and is open to posibility!
Natural science has proven our existance, human science has failed to prove either way thus we do not exist!
