Unofficial Drupal Mascot ("Drupliscot"?)

Drupal has a cool logo, the Druplicon. But we could use a mascot as well and these pictures on flickr show a very good candidate. I like the little man ("Drupliscot"?) a lot and would love to have one on my desk. Maybe we should start a shop selling these Drupliscots for say 20 euro's and donate the surplus to the Association?

update: see this post

awesome

That little dude is way cool! It looks like the new hot action figure.

Shop now!

Start the shop. I think that this mascot can be a big sucess and can help the association. I love it!

Best

Tutorial now available

How to create your own Drupalicon Munny tutorial is now on-line.

This particular guy cost me @$40CDN in materials - 75% of which was the base DIY toy. If a strictly limited edition run were created it would have to sell in the neighbourhood of $50-80CDN (Licensing the 'Munny', Manufacturing, packaging, distribution). I looked into doing a limited edition mimobot USB Drupal Toy last year... in the end it would have cost $60,000 to manufacture a run of 2,000 with no guarantee of cost recovery if people weren't willing to pay the $30+markup for a smallish capacity USB key (no matter how cool and Druapaly it would have been).

If people would be willing to put a deposit down ahead of time, I'd be glad to try and make a mass production run a possibility.

Maybe ...

Because the Munny, which is what this is based on, has ears, this guy looks a bit like an astronaut in a space suit. Look at the contour around the face, and the ear "covers".

I always thought Druplicon's eyes are freaky. Seems some Hispanics agree as well.
