She-ra (2018) Promotional Merch

As part of an ongoing project to catalogue all the merchandise produced for the 2018 She-ra reboot, this post is going to contain everything I can find that was only available as part of another purchase, promotion, or exclusive gift. None of these are available anymore outside of resale.

Sometimes you have to click photos to see full images, as many are cut off. Any [x]s will lead to the source of the images, usually secondhand listings that will eventually become defunct. I use the best photos I can find.

Con-exclusives (for sale or giveaways) are on their own post. The master post focuses on for-sale merchandise but includes descriptions for everything else. This post acts as support to that, including photos I don't have room for there.

Lootcrate:

Socks, a notebook, and a tumbler were produced, all exclusive to Lootcrate subscribers in their respective month(s). The tumbler was for March, unsure of the months for the other products.

Sonic Kids Meal Toys:

Four figures, two "straw buddies," one inflatable sword, and character profile magnet 3-packs of at least six characters (possibly more. Probably at least one more since Glimmer is missing from the BFS but I haven't seen any not included here yet).

Influencer Exclusives:

This promotional statuette was sent to family bloggers in 2019 to promote season four. It might have also been sent to reviewers in 2018. It's fragile (possibly porcelain) and very rare. Clare has taken more extensive pictures with notes on construction here. [x]

This promotional metal lunchbox was sent to influencers to promote the series in very limited quantities (not to be confused with the insulated fabric lunchbox that was for sale on Amazon). The graphics are stickers rather than directly printed on the lunchbox and it is in mini size. [x]

Recruitment Swag: Stickers

She-ra stickers promoting the Dreamworks' Career pages were given away with Dreamworks pins, likely to current or prospective employees, though when and why is currently speculative. [x]

Media Press Kits:

Media press kits were sent out to outlets. They included collectors cards (the same cards as were given out at cons, see that post for all the cards), a foam tiara (also given out cons), and buttons (guess where they were given out to the public: cons). A letter (fifth image) was also included in the box, the only completely exclusive part of the box that didn't make it to the public. [x]

A separate kit (sixth image) was sent out to celebrate International Women's Day ahead of the show's premiere, though the contents of it are believed to have been the same and only the box color differed. This was produced by Commuter Industries. Some of the recipients were those bloggers mentioned earlier. Thanks to Clare for finding it.

Commuter Industries produced further promotional material for IWD 2019 such as digital booklets (Clare has some pulls here). They also made an activity book & character standees for cons.

Reviewer Special Mentions:

They were not exclusive, so they're only getting a small mention, but the Super7 Catra & Adora action figures, as well as limited knee-high socks patterned after She-ra's uniform (with little red capes on the back) were sent in promotional packages to some reviewers. These socks were given out at other promotional events, though I'm currently not certain which and thus whether they were ever available to the general public. While the action figures did go for public sale, they were in very limited quantities, so it felt worth mentioning.

Absolutely Not Merch: Promotional Con Props

Three large props - a Sword of Protection, a statue of She-ra, and a prop of the Horde Throne - were created for photo ops at conventions and the company that made them has provided photos on their portfolio page. Their current location is unknown. The She-ra statue seems to be based on the same character art that the promotional statuette was made from. Also featured in these images from upper-left-to-right are Aimee Carrero (Adora's VA), Karen Fukuhara (Glimmer's VA), and of course ND Stevenson (creator/showrunner).

Isa’s crazy fans are giving Carlos hard time in the comments for not including her in his happy international womens day post. // carlos has been doing that IWD post since 2019 or something, and he never included isa. it's always just his mom and sisters. why are they making a big deal out of this now????

Because now Isa is more known, and you know how wag fans get pressed over nothing

I couldn't find any game artists that explore my theme of Illusion or the use of things like holograms. However, I have found this artist who is a top female games designer called Hannah Nicklin

Hannah Nicklin is an award-winning game & narrative designer, writer, and narrative/game director. She wrote and narrative designed 2019’s multiple-award-winning Mutazione, and directed & co-wrote Saltsea Chronicles (2023), Eurogamer's game of the week, 5/5 stars.

Reaching for the high note. IWD appeal for Iraq's Yazidi choir

On March 8th, women around the world will celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). This year also has added meaning for Iraq's Yazidi women, who will be marking 10 years since the Yazidi Genocide.

An appeal has been launched to show solidarity with the AMAR Foundation's Ashti Choir, which is made up of Yazidi survivors. The choir was founded in 2019 and all of those involved are still residing in displacement camps in Iraq.

The choir has performed in the U.K and AMAR has also recorded Yazidi music, giving these to Oxford’s Bodleian Library to archive for future generations. For more information on the choir please contact the AMAR Foundation or call 0207 799 2217.

IWD

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (alternatively titled the Notorious RBG) is my personal hero and on of the reasons I wanted to become a lawyer. Before she even got on the Supreme Court she was going to go down in history as a feminist icon. She was one of the heads of the ACLU’s Women's Rights Project and basically pioneered the dismantling of gender discrimination in the work place. She’s a badass and makes me so damn proud to be in the legal field!

I adore her current hair both the color and the length/thickness but she looked gorgeous as a red head

She really did. Although I think at times it did wash her out, especially under studio lighting. But it really made her eyes pop.

The black hair is so pretty too ( I’m slightly biased because my hair is black and wavy like she often styles hers as )

We now often get the best of both worlds. Her hair it rarely a solid black. She often gets subtle red highlights to add some dimension, I love how that looks. I love the ombré effect she sometimes has too. Her colorist is so good

Tonight I Am In Love

“I am wounded with tenderness for all who laboured in dim rooms with their handful of words, battering their full hearts against the moon.”

-Dorianne Laux-

Today and every day, for catalyst and conduit, and for every step taken to get me here; I love. I’ve always been of the opinion that had I been born at an earlier time, I would’ve been burned at the stake years ago. So it isn’t surprising that on days like this, I think of the ones who were. And the ones who battled and fought and set the tone. And the writers who inspired this voice of my own. And my grandmother whose wedding band I’d be naked without. And my mother who gifted me an education she was never allowed. And the girls I’ve taught today of whom I’m infinitely proud. It is my heart, my privilege.
