I made a gengar post-it note dispenser
In a fit of ADHD driven hypefocus I sat down last Thursday and looked at all 1025 pokemon individually and wrote down every product idea I had for them. Ended up with four pages of ideas lol.
This one hit that perfect trifecta of being feasible with my current tools, easy enough to prototype up over the weekend, and totally original. I couldn't find any evidence of anyone else having made this idea prior to me.
The first three images are of the current iteration, with teeth added per the suggestion of a friend, and cut in a swirly galaxy acrylic (I ran out of plain purple lol, but I actually think the galaxy acrylic looks cooler and has more of a ghostly vibe). The last two images are of the first prototype. No stand, no teeth, plain solid plastic.
If I ever get around to getting a 3d printer I might revisit the idea with a full 3d enclosure for the dispenser, to give ol' gengar some more dimensionality.
My favorite thing about the idea: Since the post-it notes change direction when you pull them out (between facing up and facing down) its like Gengar wagging his tongue at you!
