Y'know, there are so many items on Menewsha (mostly store items, but there is nothing wrong with that!). It got me thinking, with the amount of items on the site, there aren't really a lot of reference items.

Reference items, I say? Indeed, I do. I'm sure plenty of us have seen items based on references of media, pop culture, video games, books, etc. The only references I know of, are the T-shirts for Minecraft. While I've never played the game, I do know enough to get the reference.

So, why am I creating this thread? There's already two suggestion threads in Site Feedback, as stickies. Indeed, there are. I don't know about you, but how often does Staff look at those threads? They're incredibly long, and random discussion does take place in the thread. However, it's asking for suggestions for Contribution Items and Store Items. Just about anything and everything can fit into those threads. I've seen some suggestions for items based on a few references to media, but I think they get lost.

As for me, I would die of absolute fandom over Persona themed items. It's no secret I love that series to death. There's also inFAMOUS (who DOESN'T want lightening shooting out of your hands, and an over the shoulder back-pack?), BIOSHOCK (little sister celebrity, or the many levels that can be turned into background items?), Sherlock (BBC and the recent movies, both are entertaining), comics (Batman, Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Spider-Man, Venom, Ironman, etc.) and so much more!

Reference items are awesome. They truly are. There is the possibility of creating items that are too close to the genuine article, but that's up to the pixelists to decide on how close or far they want to make those items.

With the new (maybe?) shop called, The Costume Shop, it opens up an endless possibility of creating some great reference items to put in that shop for users to enjoy!

So... what's some of those die hard references you'd love to see on Menewsha?

Bahaha - the pineapple shirt I pixelled, contrary to popular belief, was actually NOT making fun of howdy's dislike of pineapples. It was actually in reference to one of my favorite shows, Psych :P (PS - if you take a look at my pixel workshop in the I <3 mene forum/pixel subforum...I made some mene trek shirts and was working on hunger games too for a while) lol

As for things I'd like to see? Maybe disney inspired items?

I'll have to take a look at your shop then, Maria. XD

I haven't seen Psych in a long time, so I didn't catch the reference! XD OK, there are two items that are references to media!

Disney stuff would be awesome. The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie. I wouldn't mind a dress similar to Bell's in Beauty and the Beast, or Cinderella's blue dress. =o

The next time I watch the show, I'll have to look for pineapples! XD

Mulan would be awesome!

Hm... you know, Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra based items wouldn't be too bad! There's a lot of culture in both shows.

I'd love some Final Fantasy-styled swords. And Keyblade-like swords. Gundam-like wings and armor and attire would also be awesome. <33

I am a fan of Batman and Harry Potter. It would be awesome if there were items made with those two references.

There's a few of them but they're sneaky and not always obvious at first.

I'm Down for anything Sci-fi or fantasy being introduced. Star Trek Universe is my fav... Dr.Who close second. :)

I can think of a few items that have pop culture references.
The BRAINZZZ and Sunnyside Up items were both somewhat inspired by the Plants vs. Zombies video game. I'd say both Mischief Maker and Alter Ego have some items based off Batman and Catwoman. I wanna say Ink Blot is sorta inspired by Kingdom Hearts and maybe Epic Mickey? XD Star Crest has a pose that is clearly based off of Twilight. I believe the Yumeh Halo is based off a meme. What the Cluck... is based off KFC. I believe that the hat from Magical Mysteries is based off the sorting hat in Harry Potter. The Bargain Basement Costumes has poses that are references to Family Guy. You can also say that a LOT of the names of items are references to movies and pop culture. There are also a lot of items that are based off legends, mythological beings, gods, and goddesses. Also, this half-mask I'm wearing is an ode to Phantom of the Opera.

So is this sort of an item suggestion thread? o 3o I'd love to see keyblades.

Phineas and Ferb!

I want a platypus.
It'd be okay. They don't do much.

What's the reference? o.o

Kent: Yea... it's a suggestion thread and them some. Stuff users want to see and perhaps talk about the items that are references to them. Seeing some Kingdom Hearts related items would be nice, especially since KH 1.5 HD has a Western release date.

Also Crystalz has a green Sims plumbob, and It's a MONSTER has slenderman.
