1) I respect Klim. I think hes a passionate, committed builder who has given a lot of time and effort to nouns. I want to see him continue to invest his time and energy here. 2) I dont collect figurines of any kind, but would probably still buy a few of these as a nounish novelty. I also trust David Horvath when he says there could be a much broader potential market for them. 3) I appreciate the efforts Klim has made to iterate and modify the original designs to something with more appeal, and I think the final designs are pretty cute. 4) I like the fact that the proposal is broken down into Milestones. 5) ⌐◨-◨

⌐◨-◨ I’m a big fan of Klim’s toys and noggles. Seems like he’s in a position to create really high quality pieces that are amazing conversation starters. I get the feeling that they will have mass appeal beyond the nouns bubble too, which is good for proliferation into other cultures. These could be an iconic stable physical that will be enjoyed by all ages for a long time to come. Love to see it ⌐◨-◨

On one hand, I worry that we dont have a distribution plan for this many toys, and therefore question the impact. On the other hand, Klim has demonstrated a lot of tenacity as a builder and the ask is reasonable enough that its worth taking a bet to see what happens, especially since many members of the DAO have already given this feedback around distribution, so itll top of mind as he executes.

I’ve been waiting for this. I have faith in Klim! Good luck, Klim. love the enthusiasm and hard work. overall, getting a lot of vibe rooting for this.... toys are cool, nounish toys--even cooler! ^ Some of the feedback from the Nouncil Votes Chat. Nouncil voted almost unanimously to support Klims proposal and put it on chain, and then 48-1-2 in favor of a YES vote here. We believe in Klims vision and his value as a Nouncillor and a builder, and we cant wait to see these toys in production. ⌐◨-◨

Klim, I first want to say thank you for your hard work and passion. The FUNglasses are wonderful and have added a tremendous amount of visuals to NounsOTG. That said, it is my personal opinion that this Prop is premature. It would be more prudent to refocus on FUNglasses and achieve the agreed upon and funded delivery of goods. It is important that the DAO requires fulfillment, especially of physical products. Specifically, this Prop 141 has yet to be flushed out, advice was not fully considered and frustrations seem to be taking control of the conversation. These are red flags, and for that reason I am voting no.

The concept of mix and match Noun figures is innovative and we are thankful for the iterations on the initial prototype. However, we continue to find these toys aesthetically difficult and do not think they are a good mass-market first impression for Nouns. We dont agree with using them as promotions or giveaways, dont agree with any digital tie-in (POAP, NFT/PFP, AR, metaverse wearable, etc), dont agree with additional marketing or forced engagement after purchase. We hope there is an opportunity to work on future versions of the mix and match concept, but unless we think the toys are awesome, we cannot justify or endorse manufacturing 10,000 units.

open to voting yes for a future version of this proposal. A willingness to reduce/modify the scope has been expressed, but I think its bad practice to approve proposals that explicitly state goals that will not be completed. A secondary reason for the no vote is to give those who have aesthetic feedback an opportunity to share it.

<@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.
