Guess who just got an amazon gift card. :0)

…..thats illegal merch

Toby Fox has explicitly stated on multiple occasions that he doesn’t want anyone selling merch that isn’t official and by him, and none of those are by him. Only merch from Fangamer is allowed because it is his merchandise.

Source 1: 

Source 2:

And he’s said several other times that he doesn’t support unofficial Undertale merch. He has said that he is okay with unofficial Undertale comissions, but not mass produced merchandise like what’s on Amazon

I am all in support of Toby Fox but…

Really he is only selling like 5 different things on the official merch page. People are so thirsty for Undertale merchandise and he is shouting about how people dare to buy anything other than a plush, some stickers, one poster, and two T-shirts. He has made easily a couple million dollars from this game already, even after Steam’s cuts. If he is so bent out of shape that people want other merchandise why isn’t he expanding his product line or even contracting with a company to make some mass-produced merch? He’s got the money now, he could be fucking RAKING IN PROFITS if he would just offer people what they want to buy.

He can’t honestly expect that no one is going to be making and buying fan merchandise with the pathetic selection he has available? If he wants people to buy exclusively from him he should actually have some shit for sale??? Hundreds of thousands of copies of the game have been downloaded and people are clamoring to buy merchandise and his supply is beyond skimpy.

I love the game and I want him to do well, but he is just not being realistic. He really expects no one to have anything Undertale related other than the few things he is selling? Come now.

I know I’m being kindof an asshole about this but his expectations are beyond unrealistic.

Deal with it. B)

and whats wrong with a few own made merch i mean come on people. People make fan art and sell fan stuff all the time so why is Undertale so special?

Let me make money off your characters and pictures. :D

*sells pony stuff at con* …I see no difference

Permission is the difference.

The difference is that Toby Fox is independent and doesn’t have the backing of a corporation that pumps out toys and merchandise for their own support.  

Hasbro allows people to make merchandise with their characters because A) they can stop it if it ever comes to be a financial issue through a C&D and B) they have a huge marketing division that develops their own official merchandise.

Toby doesn’t have that, he just has the game and little official merchandise, and that’s his choice.  Selling Undertale merchandise without Toby’s permission or offering at least a cut of the profits hurts him a hell of a lot more than it does a major toy corporation like Hasbro.
