Game merch is something that can make the developer some extra cash, but most of the official stuff is way too expensive. Or even worse, you know something would be perfect for a shirt or as a collectable item, yet the developers seem not to realize it.
Recently I was browsing bioware's online store when I came across a particular shirt.
"Morrigan Disapproves -15"
This is the type of thing I only see fans make and then put up online for sale. In fact this was the shirt I was looking for fans to put up online. It was one of those things that I would actually consider buying. In fact, I almost bought the shirt right then (but then I remembered that I'll be needing that money since 2010 is overpacked with games).

Ok, here's the discussion point: Is there any merchandise, in existance or not, for a game that you would just have to buy? It can be something a character's wearing, a t-shirt with a certain phrase on it, a playset of Psychonauts and some LSD to recreate the game, etc.

(You may link images of actual products if you want but please don't go crazy)

I bought the Haiti fundraiser shirt from Bungie, which you can see the concept art (which just looks like the shirt run through a cartoon effect) for here:



I'd buy alot of stuff from here (Bungie Store) if I could. [http://www.bungiestore.com/category/32485380541/1/Apparel.htm] Same for the Valve Store [http://store.valvesoftware.com/].
I hate to say this, but the makers of Halo creating a QUAKE relief shirt seems a bit... ironic. Though I probably would get one myself since it's going for a nice cause. The Valve store seemed a bit empty though, given that they could make hundreds of shirts or even accessories.

I would buy a glove that looks like the Portal gun.


Funny game shirts in general are cool, I can't think of anything right now beyond "Red Wizard needs Food"

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some Borderlands stuff if it exists. Besides that, maybe something like the Bungie quake relief. Something that shows gaming and humanity are connected.

Pretty much any game themed clothing. I'd seriously consider little knick knacks (like bottle openers). Although I'd draw the line at toys/action figures and I only use the posters out of magazines, 'cos I'm cheap.

One clothing line I'd really like would be the Pokemon 151 line, and I really want a Team Rocket T shirt.

On the Xbox Avatar Market Place, some of those T-shirts are pretty cool, wouldn't mind some of them in real life.

I would buy a real working Ocarina of Time (working in terms of the music part not the time travel part) if I had the money. Then I would pull it out and play Sun's Song at work and say "Time to go Home!"

I own one of these [http://store.valvesoftware.com/productshowcase/productshowcase_HL2HeadCrabHat!.html]. Yes it is as utterly awsome as it seems.

I'm wearing it as I type this.

Since I collect models of Gundams already I would absolutely buy the hell out of a Normandy and Normandy SR2 model.
