I used the WayBackMachine to view the site back to Nov 1999 when they started. I see a poster for SEIV, and various merchants that came and went (die cast metal military cars?!?) but nothing like what CafePress will let them do.
But yes it looks like they have tried other things in the past.

shrapnel games frag grenades, thats what i want. either classic prussian stick bombs, or modern baseball grenades. im not picky. or at least the PINS, like in the logo.

I don't know how they are called around the world, but in Holland we have "Wuppies". Fuzzy little dots with nothing more that two feet and two eyes. The sure would be a hit if you sell them with the Shrapnel of Malfador logo.
A friend of mine collects Wuppies, he puts them on his motorbike. Image an all green Kawasaki with a dashboard filled with Wuppies. LOL!

I think they are either wuppies or weeples here. I had a handful, too. Googly eyes, either bare feet or shoes, and a message tag. Maybe accessories glued on, like a hat. Cute and fuzzy.

I still think the Action figures and toys is the best choice for big bucks.

Buy now your Aaron Hall action figure, with fully adjustable limbs!
"Oh mom, can I have an Aaron? Please?"

Nah, I don't think that will be a monsterhit.

This stuff about action figures really make me almost fall from my chair. Every time someone mentiones action figures, I must think of the Jay Stile action figure and the Bathtub Girl action figure. I won't give the link to that Online comic, coz of the high degree of porn banners on the site. If someone would like the link, just PM me. But remember, I've warned you for the sic stuff on the site.
