As an attempt to offer something different...

Minimum order is 100 units, so I'd need at least 100 people voting for any of the above options.

If we reached that, we would then run it as a regular fundraiser. IE: We'd need to raise $2,000 USD, $2,500 USD or $3,500 USD total (depending on drive size). Then everyone who donated would get a USB for every X dollars they donated. Codex would end up with about 30% of total funds raised (regardless of option).

And you'd get some potato to spend as well.

Prices include postage (Air Mail, arrives in 3-10 days to most of the shit holes you people live in).

none of those are that good, since they both seem to have somewhat fragile bits that will stick out and get broken off or tangled in other shit. they look also somewhat ginormous for usb drives.
is that the only option you got or can you also design a sliding one?

Grab the Codex by the pussy
As an Amerikwan, I can't read millimeters and I'm getting a mental picture of Christmas tree-sized USB sticks here.

A multi-headed dicks USB would look best jutting out of my office computer... plus being caught by the office cute girl, her eyes meet yours, and you give her a sly look that says, "that's right... multi-headed dicks."

You know, what I'd really buy is a lapel pin. Like all those US politicians who make it mandatory to wear the flag on their suit lapel.... except, dicks.


Golf balls would also work well. You lose them, some old guy is poking around in the reeds on the hole 5 water trap. He's all stoked he's found your ball. Then, he holds it up and turns it around, wiping the mud off with his thumb...

Heart attack. And victory.


Seriously, I'd order a pack of custom golf balls.

The white space between the legs and arms of the troll aren't empty space. His arms are filled in and he's actually joined between the feet. But yes, the trolls arms do make him quite wide for a USB.

Use the USB plug as a reference point. Hold an existing USB up to the screen and scale the image until the plug's about the same size on screen as the one you're holding.

those three sticking out dicks look like they would break very easily, and even with the space between legs filled, with the giant sticking out foot and much narrower connection to the rest of the body it looks like a disaster waiting to happen. and even if the arms are filled, with them sticking out like that they will wear off and look weird very fast, same for feet if they don't break off.
smaller and square housing size with just a norma print would be more attractive imo, although the print is likely to wear off fast unless you give it raised edges or protect it some other way. it being so wide and hugeass makes also makes it very unpractical and more of a pure novelty item, which kinda defeats the purpose of also being an usb drive somewhat.

smaller and square housing size with just a norma print would be more attractive imo, although the print is likely to wear off fast unless you give it raised edges or protect it some other way

These would be printed too anyway, no? So instead of ending up with a blank square you'll end up with a blank unidentifiable blobby shape.
Would not buy.
Also lol at the troll having a belly on his back. Just make both sides identical or print RPGWatch on the back.

Any usb stick that renders neighboring usb connectors unusable with its humongous size belongs to a trash bin.

Better just get someone to do some nice 3D models and sell them on Shapeways as miniatures or accessories. At least then you'd have the chance of selling 1 or 2.

Besides, what lady wouldn't crave MHD earrings? What monocled gentleman wouldn't adorn his tie with a troll pin?

How about offer a prize for those who come up with (new) practical and clever designs for the USB drives. The above designs have some issues as mentioned.

How bout make this red, put a codex head on the cap and the words "Does not scale to your level"
I'm going to lose the cap and then not see the troll head anymore.
