world.shopwarriorcats.com/collections/new-arrivals-1/products/warrior-cats-charm-braceletThis new charm bracelet is now available to buy on the official store. It costs 30 bucks while only featuring one charm so far which consists of a Firestar one as his mini design. More charm options will be added in 2023. I personally am just so tired of them using the mini designs for so much other merch (for t-shirts, bag tags, tote bags, compact mirrors, pens, embroidery patches, enamel pins, stickers and now even jewelry).

The mini designs on the shirts are super ugly. The blank, expressionless looks on their faces haunt me lol.

I wish they still sold those keychains and mini plushies when they first started selling their merchandise because those were at least kinda cute and seems to have decent reviews, now idk how to feel with all this recycled mini designs.

I've honestly never seen a more incompetent franchise with their merchandise Like I'm sure everyone here would actually love to buy said merch but it's so low quality, not to mention not at all trustworthy remember the whole plushie ordeal? fans make far higher quality stuff so I don't get why they're putting all their eggs in one basket with the tacky figurines, like okay not that bad of a design I suppose but it's weirdly on shirts??? Why not something with passion or at least looks good Imo it just seems like they're unsure of what merch to sell so they're....Just do a little bit of everything but are so unsure of themselves in the process that it feels half-baked unintentionally, I genuinely can't see anyone get this unless they're a juvenile whose parents are unsure of what to get them, for their birthday so they get this for them because their kid likes the funny battle cats  |

angyfrog I mean, I've bought some of their merch because of me initially being so excited to finally have official merchandise from my favorite childhood series to buy (all of the minis so far, some of the plushies and some jewelry and Clan symbol enamel pins) ever since restarting to read the series after a long break and finally joining the fandom properly in 2020. But do agree that it mostly comes off as rather low effort. Which is not really that surprising considering the writing of these battle cat books is not of much high quality either seeing as there's 4+ books (including add ons such as SEs, novellas and GNs) getting pumped out by the writing team every year. This series (including the merchandise) is not a passion project franchise and perhaps never even was. It's more of just a money making machine at this point and I'm still hooked despite knowing that.

Oh there's nothing wrong with wanting to support your favorite franchise, I know warriors for a long time never had real "official" merch, so I understand the initial excitement of finally being able to buy Graystripe in the form WarriorCats to my knowledge first started or at least originally was gonna be a one off series then suddenly it grew and grew and well here it is, and it definitely isn't a passion project franchise and a total money making machine, I certainly don't blame you for being invested either because honestly it's a show itself to see what else they pull just to keep the series going and what other errors they make, won't ever forget how they called Mistystar, Graystripe's daughter lmao |

Yeah, true. But it's just still quite sad to realize as an adult that my favorite xenofiction series as a child is not truly as cool as I've previously thought it to be when I was younger (including the merch which I'm no longer as excited about due to the overall low quality and effort). I'll probably forever continue to be hung up on the books though. Oh, for sure. That scene in previous editions of Bramblestar's Storm was just embarrassing. |

That is just extremely sad looking. Like I don’t think you could even call that a conversation starter since it’s hardly distinguishable for being a specific piece of marketed merchandise linked to a franchise…. Just some generic Silver charm bracelet that one could probably get for like $10-$15 from like Walmart or Target. Like they couldn’t even have colorized the Firestar charm to standout a little bit?. For $30 would at least expect some distinctive personality or flair symboling the franchise it belongs too.

The fandom's merchandise on redbubble or etsy is nicer than the actual warriors merchandise. They can do better than this. That's pretty sad.

What's unfortunate is that they feature (or used to) fan art on the site, but they don't think of going to them and having march made from the artists. Some things from the store are decent in design, but a lot really sucks. |
