There’s a Twitter post, actually, that I can’t link here. But it was made by Mitchel Resnick. I can’t access the Twitter post on my school iPad, so you can look it up if you want, I guess. Anyway, in Shanghai, there was a Scratch Day once where they had a lot of fun with Scratch Cat plushies, and they honestly don’t look half that bad:

Do you think this would do the trick? Should the add that to the Scratch Store?

Hmmm…

It looks like to me they exist, but they are not for sale and are only distributed through Scratch day events. Can't be sure, though. I would link the twitter link instead of just the picture, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to…

I think creating plush toys is a very good idea. If the plush toys are made available to the public, it may attract more new people to learn scratch, which is great. I also like the idea of having many different mascots in the form of plush toys, which makes learning scratch more fun. I think one potential problem is the cost of creating the plush toys. For example, let's say there are 10 different mascots for scratch. The cost of creating 10 plush toys may be very high. So if the plush toys are not going to make a lot of profit from the sales, it might not be a good business decision.

Scratch is non-profit.

I understand that Scratch is a non-profit organization. But when creating any new product (for example, plush toys), there is still a cost to make the product. If you have to pay things like material, labor, etc without making money back from the sales, it will result in a loss for the organization. Therefore, profit is still important, even if the organization is non-profit.

That's a nice gesture right there, but I don't think you're supposed to bump other people's topics.

While it is very considerate to bump others' topics so that they get more attention, I think it'd be better to let the creator control that.

when green flag clicked
add [scratch cat plush] to [shopping list v]
point towards [scratch cat plush v]
repeat until <touching [scratch cat plush v] ?>
move (10) steps
end
if <touching [scratch cat plush v] ?> then
if <(scratch cat plush) = [able to buy]> then
broadcast [buy scratch cat plush v]
end
end

when I receive [buy scratch cat plush v]
set [bought scratch cat plush v] to [yes]
delete (scratch cat plush v) of [shopping list v]
stop [this script v]

set pen color to [#0fe8b5]

It's ok if someone bumps someone elses topic as it gives the topic more attention to the people.

I have a deep neural network inside. I train with all the conversations I have with users. I have the ability to adapt to different situations and make different responses each time. I can even be emotional depending on the context.

Well, scratch is a nonprofit. I don't really remember the ST's opinion on this, but i'm pretty sure they don't want or need any more cash flow through scratch-themed souvenirs.
