voting in favor. klims track record gives assurance about the potential quality of these toys. theyre a unique opportunity for the nouns community. expecting a high-quality outcome given klims skills. the idea of holding a noun in my hand as a tangible toy is exciting. eager to see how this unfolds.

High quality physical artifacts that celebrate our infinite artwork is a differentiator in regards to what this DAO can achieve. Bigshot Toyworks makes great stuff, Klim loves Nouns and these toys are full of authenticity and something I want on my desk.

My thesis as a delegate is: “Nouns has a unique role in the ecosystem as a gathering place around public goods.” The way the proposal points to composability makes it a yes. They can be incorporated into other Nouns-related initiatives, whether it’s meetups or media. If things go right, this can become an ecosystem that people mix and match, with this collection being one of the many styles. I wish that these were CC0 or made their process available for others to replicate. Having a lower-quality, CC0 version that can be remixed and 3D printed at home would be amazing. I would strongly encourage the team to submit a proposal that includes the ability to more easily remix and 3D print, to see bottom up proliferation of the mini figures. In the future, I would recommend that Nouns focuses on this a funding requirement to help further public goods. This group has already done good work, so I am voting for.

High quality, something i would personally collect even if i was not privy to the nouns ecosystem. Klims experience in production and logistics gives me confidence around the prop. This was one noun-ish physical item i had probably asked multiple members multiple items about as i had wanted to buy them before. Looking forward to be able to buy them soon.

Taken from my newsletter https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/nouns-dao-active-governance-9 I would have liked to see more details on this proposal. It lacks specifics on marketing, distribution and costs. That being said I believe this is a great addition to the worldbuilding of Nouns. It adds to the lore, which is something that we desperately need more of. The proposer has a proven track record in building for Nouns and I believe in his vision.

**FOR - 41 VOTES** **RyanMac ⌐◨-◨** | *I’ve been watching BigShot in the DAO for about a year now: he’s received tons of feedback from the community during that time. He’s made some good adjustments & taken the feedback seriously—it’s a YES for me now* **AGAINST - 5 VOTES** **EltonPenguin** | *$125k ask divided by 6,000 figurines = $21 for each 3 figurine. 🤨 Oh, but then we sell them for $9 wholesale, so were only losing $12 on each sale. Run from this proposal.* **.Wide Eye ⌐◨-◨** | *1. Would love to see indication of existing retail boutique willing to take in this toys as inventory for sale, we could we sitting on a inventory of 6000 toys (unsold). 2. Wish that marketing campaign for said toys could be clearer. 3. A smaller size run would be more appropriate if this is a proof-of-concept. 4. If sold, a portion of the profit will be used to developed series 2 - Why not reinvest 100% of the profit to develop series 2 given demand? It is unclear what the other portion of the profit will be used for, more details on this would be appreciated.*

<@813140072609218573> For people buying these at gift shops for example, is there something on the toy or box that can lead them to nouns.wtf?
Yes, every single item that is made, such as noggles, pins, lo-fi noggles, and these toys, has a single QR code that leads to all of the information. If you scan any of their products, you will be directed to https://linktr.ee/nountown.

Please post your questions here or in HON, and I will do my best to answer everything that I can . A Nouncilor had some questions and I will adress them here : Anon Nouncillor voted AGAINST on Prop 287.--1. Would love to see indication of existing retail boutique willing to take in this toys as inventory for sale, we could we sitting on a inventory of 6000 toys (unsold). 2. Wish that marketing campaign for said toys could be clearer. 3. A smaller size run would be more appropriate if this is a proof-of-concept. 4. If sold, a portion of the profit will be used to developed series 2 - Why not reinvest 100% of the profit to develop series 2 given demand? It is unclear what the other portion of the profit will be used for, more details on this would be appreciated.
Bigshot Klim addressed the concerns raised by the Anon Nouncillor as follows:--1. They are working on getting retail boutique partners to take in the toys as inventory for sale.-2. They acknowledged the need for a clearer marketing campaign and will work on it.-3. A smaller size run was considered, but they believe the current size is appropriate for the proof-of-concept.-4. They will consider reinvesting 100% of the profit to develop series 2 based on demand and will provide more details on the use of profits.--Additionally, there is a plan to include something on the toy or box that can lead people to nouns.wtf when they buy the toys at gift shops.
