A stray thought by [livejournal.com profile] octopedingenue made me realize that there's got to be, somewhere out there because I cannot believe Shonen Jump would pass up this marketing opportunity, a vinyl sticker/decal with the insignia of the 11th Division from Bleach on it, so I can stick it on my laptop. :D Barring that, I know there are people who do custom decals who might be willing to do that relatively inexpensively - there was one set up at A-Kon last year, for example. And failing that I believe there's some vinyl-type decal/sticker paper out there that is white, not clear, where I can print it out myself, although that's my third choice because it means that I have to cut the edges straight and I'll probably waste several pieces before I succeed. :)

So: if you're bored at work or home or school and feel like searching around the Net, find me one of the above, plzkthx!

I see division tattoos on ebay, but no decals.

Hrm. I may be forced to make one myself, in that case.

It does seem a rather obvious thing to make. I was surprised that I couldn't find one in any of my usual places for Japanese merchandise.

I know! I SMELL A MARKET NICHE! XD

Well, there are patches available. Maybe they thought people would only want to put them on fabric?

Dunno. But I saved a copy of the image of the 11th's insignia, so I can use it to trace over an enlarge when I, as it looks like I'll be doing, make my own. :D

My friends over in Nebraska came across a company at Nan Desu Kon in Denver that made many vinyl decals that they then stuck on her laptop.
I shall harrass them to find their card and tell me who they are, if you are still interested.

Sure! If it's a reasonable price, that'll save me from having to cut straight lines. XD

Rightstuf.com has wristbands, armbands, keychains, and necklaces. Alas, no decals.

They do have a fleece "Chappy" cap, though.

Why are there no decals? There's this huge, glaring market niche right there! Aaaaaaggh!

Wait, You don't have a paper-cutter or anything cool like that that could make the cutting process a little easier?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2007-11-14 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got a small one normally used for scrapbooking that I use for trimming prints, but I don't really want to get adhesive on it. :)

Not even at work? I totally abuse the hole punch and paper-cutter there.

I'm not sure where any are - they'd most likely be in the Admin office or Tech Services - and I don't really want to ask. :D
