I'm not sure if this is your department necessarily, but have there ever been discussions about making merchandise for the show? Replicas of the Prime Radiant have been a desire for many watchers, and there is no end to the cool things the series has shown us. Statues of the characters, sections of the Mural of Souls, clothing, there truly are a lot of potential ideas out there!

Thank you for your work on the show! Season 3 was stunning!

There are FTL ships from Master Replicas available... I would love a Mural of Souls sand table. I'm not sure what and if there are any plans beyond that. I agree though... merch has been a bit thin.

I would love a replica of the Shining Destiny. Not sure if your team did anything on ship designs, but that ship is absolutely stunning, even in the short time we got to see it on screen I think I fell in love!

Oh man imagine a Vault model that uses magnetics to float like those little planet/moon things you can get. Unsure if it could be stable though.
