Been here since 2011. The concept of the adoptable pets was so unique and cute. And then paired with a creative community that wants to write and draw? Stumbling upon this place was so perfect at the time!

Now I only get on occasionally, but I love coming back and seeing the changes. I am really sad I missed out on the 2012 con though. Even when they had the merch in the store I didn't have the money for the stickers at the time. I remember they were only available in the store for like, a month too I think.

    I wanted those stickers SO BADLY haha. child-me could not buy them, though, and my parents were absolutely not on board. I remember being so hopeful that there would be plushes someday of some of the older dogs. [let's be honest, i'd still love that haha]

I think i would quite like stickers and plushies, too. It would depend on what pets they choose.

Which is sort of the problem. There are so many potential pets they could make into a plush or sticker at this point. They can't exactly do all of them. How would they pick?

I'd absolutely love a sunback plush, it's my favorite pet on CS <3

I think they'd probably opt for older dogs and other pets with high demand for the stickers and plushies. Or they'd make polls asking the community to choose from several different options of pets. That would be nice (:

I would love to be able to buy more CS merch! <3 I wanted to go to the con so badly but didn't get to. All my cs merch came from the cs mall that opened a few times around Black Friday I believe !
I still have everything I bought, except i never really use them, to keep them nice. I turned one dog sticker into a magnet though, and I still regret doing that.

(a terrible pic I took of mine if any whippersnappers are interested) the dog with the orange necklace is the magnet.
Doesn't include a really cool poster that still proudly hangs on my wall!

I'd love a sunback plushie too! I know there was a prototype out there, but problems arose and production was halted I think?

I'd love to see a sticker of the robo doggos from 2008, but not sure if they're popular enough for that?

    thank you for sharing the picture!! it just about made me cry haha, so nostalgic. i have such a hard time using stickers, i totally get your regret. at least a fridge is something you'll likely always have! there are worse things to do with stickers haha. any idea if there are pictures of the prototype floating around somewhere? i thought maybe i remembered it, but wasn't sure if i was just making that up.

    the sunback is iconic and would make a wonderful plush!! of courase i'd prefer the galaxies though haha.

I remember the stickers too and I wanted them sooo badly but was to young to buy them myself. I always hoped for plushies too, or another chance of buying stickers and such.
Honstely, even though this is just an adoptables site, this whole thing was a big part of my childhood and still is a part of my life since 10 years already and I still hope they will one day rerelease stickers and maybe even plushies, I would literally buy anything :lol: it’s so nostalgic

Theres a picture of the back of one in this post here! ^^ I think that's the only pic

I kinda remember somewhere there was a poll where users could decide what pet they wanted as a plush, a couple options were shima longtail, joker, and black advent. But that could have been some weird fever dream, I haven't seen any evidence of that post.

It would love a galaxy plush too! Or maybe a sorbet set! A girl can dream I guess <3
