Rave reviews for the Penicorns

Looks like we've got our first happy customer.

We sent out his package the morning after we announced the penicorn plush dolls were on sale, and his order apparently arrived about four days later. We were sort of wondering what people would think once they got their hands on these toys. Would they feel "quality" enough? Will people be happy with the size, the weight, the color, the dab of hot glue on the tip...? Looks like they are. :D

We're also glad to be getting orders for these crazy things. There was some doubt over whether people would embrace the concept or find it too creepy. I mean, *WE* think they're cute, but we're relieved to find out that other people think they're cute as well. I'm still too embarrassed to show my parents what we've created but I've been showing them to all my friends. Tim and I are even planning on buying a few ourselves to hand out to our friends who have recently had kids, and Stamper brought three down to give to his dad (who I think named them Huey, Duey and Louie).

It'll be sad to take them down on 12/13 but right now it's a lot of work to hand address all these envelopes. Here I am, working on HTML and CSS, and I have to pop up every few hours or so and click through Paypal's painfully slow site to pull up addresses one at a time. (Believe me, I've tried the multi-shipping options, and they suck ass.) The new store will make this all go so much faster. Hopefully they'll be back up in time for Valentine's day, along with the new Peni-pals.com site.

Edit: And this guy.

gone already huh? I don't think anyone should have a problem with quality. I mean, they feel exactly like something you would buy at a store. Did you guys have to do the hot glue thing to all of them or did you get them produced that way? Haha

When I got the package my parents were like oh, new tshirt huh?
No mom and dad, not quite...
They both thought it was pretty funny, my dad moreso

My text sounded confusing upon second read. They're not gone yet, but will be in a few days.

And lol the hot glue was all done in China.

Can the horn be used as a sextoy?

CaptainBob 2007-12-11 10:29:04

I really hope you're using the same tag as the prototype had, because it was epic.

bob 2007-12-11 10:29:04

The one that reads "Sir Stamper of Wacom"? (Not the one with dingleberries.)

I don't ever want to watch TV again without a penicorn sitting on top of it!

I'll be mass-producing the cheap multi-colored knockoffs in a month.

Wiiporter 2007-12-11 16:21:04

I wish I could afford the crap in your stores. $20 for a T-shirt? Really?!

bob 2007-12-11 16:21:04

Have you been inside any store lately? Or online?

Zailotech 2007-12-11 16:50:29

man their all gone! how many did you have anyway?

bob 2007-12-11 16:50:29

they're not all gone. *sigh* :/

Jon4life 2007-12-11 21:58:38

lol I wish I could have a peni-corn but I dont have a credit card and if I did I would totally buy it. I have to wait 3 more years till I can get anything on Newgrounds unless I can get my brother to buy stuff for me.

DrBeach 2007-12-12 06:23:29

i reckon the stupid people will try and kill him for making its name, still there pretty cool the glue is a bit scary thow

amador10 2007-12-12 08:54:57

Times like these that make me wanna have the opportunity to learn how to order online here in the philippines... and it's my b-day tomorrow, too... ah well, maybe next time... Of course, it would be creepy to show to my mom... Well good job anyways...

ElMicha 2007-12-12 10:53:15

Yo iv'e figured out a question about those penicorns.

Who was modeling them?

DannyIsOnFire 2007-12-12 16:35:32

While i thought the idea behind these toys was great, i really didn't want to shell out $15 for something that would sit in my room gathering dust. I can also picture my parents reactions if they ever saw it...

I do however like the idea you seem to be going with of expanding the NG store past the traditional T-Shirts and stickers and what not. Tom mentioned it would be up and running beggining of next year yeah?

I can't wait to see some of the stuff you guys come up with. I'll definatley be buying a few things from there :)

bob 2007-12-12 16:35:32

we have a few projects in the works, but it isn't anything earth shattering. what kind of stuff would you like to see there?

PiGPEN 2007-12-13 10:07:28

A newgrounds themed board game would be good.
(or penis themed)

laurengr 2007-12-13 15:28:18

I placed my order last night. As you probably already know!!! love you guys!

bob 2007-12-13 15:28:18 (Updated 2007-12-13 17:26:59)

wow. TWO sisters on the site now! and change that filthy userpic, damn you.

and POST something already.

RE: we have a few projects in the works, but it isn't anything earth shattering. what kind of stuff would you like to see there?

The toys were a cool idea. How about some Pico/AH based ones, rather than something with a penis for a horn :P?

Erm... Stuff like cafepress offer but with more custimisation (and cheaper prices obviously, since CP overcharge a hell of a lot).
Notepads, pendants, lighters, pint glasses, darts, keychains, bottle openers.
I'd buy every one of those if you created them :)

bob 2007-12-14 13:08:29

Pico isn't lovable enough yet. He's cute but has no soul. Personally, I don't think he'd sell all that much. As for A.H., he's property of the Behemoth. We don't get to merchandise him.
