Ah if only. Apart from the art books, there seems to be a serious shortage of KS merchandising.

I could go for some figurines myself.

You could have some custom made...

@pandaphil: I make figures but you can't have them. :P

not exactly a recommendation, i meant some place yo have actually heard of/used or know a little bit about. as that demonstrates its quite easy to google something, its another matter completely to get recommended to a place that i s trust worthy or renown. none the less ill give it a shot unless someone has a tried and true source for this kinda thing

Just FYI, those things are called "Dakimakura". I can't recommend anyone making them since I never bought any, but that might make googling them easier.
And apart from the artbooks there is no official KS merchandise. Everything you might find online is pirated.

well im not sure about its quality but i found one site that apparently does them, though the art for it seems to be an issue as it requires pretty high res pics that are hard to find through google images. Can yall share some of your fav lilly pics so i can see if any of em work well? gunna keep playing with the stuff on google but would love to see some stuff yall might have that google doesnt.

also if yall have any of the more popular pictures in larger sizes those would help too =D

No place on Earth is renowned for these things. Dakimakura have a weird stigma attached to them. Still, if you got the image you want, they've got the pillow to print it on. Can't go too wrong, right? Better than the more literal custom ones that are just wonky off-model versions of the characters. :lol:

You can always resize a picture.

You can always resize a picture.
if you resize it too much it will get distorted though. thats why the file size and resolution must be high to start with so that it can be expanded without distortion

True. It'd depend on the pillow size too.
