Hey guys,

I was checking the web but couldn't find a place where one is able to buy a FreeBSD Beastie mascot (doll).

Does anyone know if we even have this for sale somewhere?

If it's going to be sold anywhere it'll probably be here: http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm

I think they had a few in the past but it looks like they're not available anymore.

Looked there already (was the first place I checked to be honest).

Why not license a (few) person(s) to create the toys for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD?

Not a bad idea.

I would love an action figure type one, similar to the Bruce Shiniea one.

Oh man, this would be really cool. I've never been interested in buying the one off the mall... It looks a little strange.

Is anyone going to action this? I might look into this.
