I hear that there are kephera toys which can be squeezed. Weeell, what about making toys after players who have been slaying the most number of toys during toy raids? It could be to show that The Great Toy Maker or whoever is behind this toy craze is that powerful.

Just adding my two cents!

Astral insanity makes up some random stuff, you know. I once had Fain telling me drinking soulless juice was a good idea. I laughed, 'cuz we all know Fain doesn't do that stuff.

I always thought Astral insanity took random things that are actually in the game and pieced them together.

It does.
Daganev2009-07-23 18:01:11
And fain does drink soulless juice...
Eventru2009-07-23 18:16:53
Kaching, Daganev. Given this thread's pretty much pointless in its current incarnation, you guys are welcome to use it to suggest new types of dingbat dolls or the like if you want. Else I imagine it will shortly die into obscurity.
Shaddus2009-07-23 18:32:46
Fain doll {grovel)
Eventru doll {genuflect}
Kethuru doll {tentacles} <=== and you KNOW you would sell out of these in a hurry. Srsly.
Nocht doll {brood}
Lisaera doll {delightdance}
Maylea doll {cupcheek}

I would personally like to see some of the old dolls run again some time in the future, so that I can complete my collection *hopeful*

But what I -really- want is a plush orca doll. In fact, I'd really like plushies of a whole host of different mobs..... orca, lyrebird, giant squid, necromentate.....

EDIT: Shaddus, the Eventru doll's trigger shouldn't be genuflect, it should be PROSTRATE. Get it together, man. Or maybe 'seenoevil', to protect your eyes from the inevitable brilliant lights and ocular abuse.

Please don't kill me, Eventru!

EDIT OF THE EDIT: Oh oh oh! brilliant idea! There should be a toymaker mob (but not the evil one) who will take a corpse that you hand to it, or 3 sketches of a creature, and make a plushie in its image. Yes yes yes!

Or tailors should just be able to sew them, then...

three sketches and 50 cloth to sew the doll. A enchanter to enchant them. If you squeeze it it will repeat any actions the mob would. I've wanted it the second I saw them giving out dolls.
Tervic2009-07-23 18:57:54
But plushie-making is a skill far above and beyond the skill of mortal tailors!
Unknown2009-07-23 19:01:04
Pfff, a plushie is just a softer miniature.

It's the Lost Art of Making it Hugable! Anyone can make a plushie, but can they make it truly great?
Shaddus2009-07-23 19:31:01
Make it Mythical in tailoring. Seriously, I'd risk sketching Fain or a steel goat a few times to get one.
Eventru2009-07-23 19:39:39
It's completely infeasible to do the making/enchanting it to repeat any action the mobile would... It really is, more because of the way everything works than anything else. And if tailors were able to make them, they'd lack the cool-o reactions of the dingbat dolls!

While the dolls are fun, also realize that they're sometimes a pain to make (Consider: Every half-formed/avatar doll has, on average, twenty responses. Then they also generally respond to the 'opposing' doll they were released with , which will probably come to about 5-10 set reactions, then they also react with each other of the same group , which will prob be like 5-10 reactions.... That's about 40 custom reactions right there. For two rounds). So when we release them for dingbats and such, we're probably not going to release more than 4 or 6.

As for re-releasing older ones, my understanding is that all dolls are one-time-only release. You will probably never again see Elohora or Raziela dolls for sale - though that's someone else's call, and I guess one should never say never!
