I came close to being able to get a tick plushie. You see, I missed out on the opportunity when they had the challenges to try to win them. And I even missed out when you could buy them. I had asked Carni back in the day and he said they were no longer available.
I was very upset and he said that he had one on his desk and would look into getting it signed by the dev team for my daughter and sending it! But sadly when everything ended, nothing else was mentioned about it. I figure it was forgotten about. 
In the excitement I had told my daughter that we were going to get it and how amazing it was going to be to have one signed by the dev team! - She took the news of it not happening I think better than I did. I mean no one said it wasn’t happening, but I couldn’t ask someone to do that now.
On a bright note though, I love your plushie!
Take care!

That is absolutely brilliant! Talludden is such a perfect name for a Tick plushie! I love that it’s standing guard over your Gen Z coffee mug like a true FNIX sentinel. 
I tried reading what it says on the mug but can’t quite make it out, still looks cool though!
And I’m right there with you: long live Gen Z!
@Vynym That’s genuinely heartbreaking, you were so close! Really hope they bring them back someday so you both get that moment.

The tick plushies are awesome. I considered getting one, but I thought it’d be better if it was given to
one of you guys instead. A few years earlier I did get a GZ T-Shirt sent to me though, as a reward for helping out with the community, and a personal letter from Pontus when he was Community Manager.

I even got two T-Shirts and a postcard from pontus.
The first T-Shirt was way too big, tent-like… At least for me. It did fit very well for my mate with whom I played GZ with.
Pontus did send me a second one, which fits for me.
For me it was a reward for some forum contest for the most beautiful base.

I’m so jealous!
But that’s awesome though! I at least got to be online and chat with you guys! I wanted the plushie for my daughter, but I’m glad she took so well.
This community has been and continues to be amazing! Yeah, I’d love to have gotten something, but again, I’ve had such a great time with my peeps!

By far the most rewarding things have been the streams I did with @Avalanche_Pontus & @SR_Carni.
Chatting with the community, answering questions, and even playing with members. It brought me
so much joy to get involved, I sometimes quit work early just so I could attend
Beta testing has also been a treat, especially when the group was small and we could easier talk
to eachother and to the devs. They actually came to us for questions about content, and we would offer feedback that literally changed the game. That felt amazing.
But, I realise I’ve not answered the topic question.
If I had a Tick Plushie, I’d name it Sparky.

Here’s my plushy, but I never thought to name it. It’s just Tick to me.

When someone is willing to sacrifice their plushie … I’ll gladly take it off your hands! LOL! 
Why have you photoshopped the image of a Tick plushie into this photo?

Why, are you suspecting foul play? 
Why Summary
Before I had the plushy I wanted to promote it on Twitter, get people to see it and perhaps order one or two. So I used a older picture of my PC setup took a Plushy picture that Carny posted, and add it to the picture.

Aaah, I see.
Someone should paste in like 50 more and hide them all over the picture. Different sizes too!

I would’ve loved to have been around during that golden age of this game, those early streams and beta testing moments sound absolutely incredible to be part of. I could spend hours picking the brains of the devs, if only they’d hop back on here for a bit (I’d pull a sickie from work if needs be!) and the idea of having a real, active impact on how the game evolved would’ve been a dream come true! It’s sad, but I even get excited when Avalanche’s live support replies to one of my billion questions and I’m pretty sure that’s not even a real person! 
I’ve read through some of the old dev interactions here on the forum too, and if that was me I’d print those off and frame them! I’m sure that kind of direct back and forth is integral to good game production, and it just shows how special that era was for you all! I know I’ve missed that boat, but even now, the game still holds up beautifully, and I’m seeing that this community continues to always find new angles, details, and theories to keep the ‘spark’ alive.
Basically, what I wanted to say is that I’m jealous.
