Morning fellow Bond fans! I have a question for all you fanatics, subscribers, collectors and aficionados. I am looking potentially to develop a line of 007 themed products for pets. I own a company called All Star Dogs; we specialize in licensed and branded products for dogs. Up until this point, there has not been a line of products developed for the pets of Bond fans…which is why, as a I die-hard 007 fan, hope to be the first to bring these to market. I could go and do thousands of dollars in market research and analysis, but I thought to myself, what better way then to go right the source.
For those of you who own a pet (dog, cat), would you potentially buy a 007 related item for your pet? Think a 007 logo dog collar, an “Agent in Training” t-shirt, a Spectre dog bowl, or a golden gun chew toy. I’m curious to hear your thoughts and whether or not you would consider purchasing a Bond related pet item if it was of high-quality and responsibly made, incorporated fun and inventive graphics, and was made by a Bond fan…for the Bond fan.
Welcome to CommanderBond.net, @jbtwine84!
Generally speaking I’m sure there is a market for 007-themed pet products, albeit perhaps not that huge a market. People are buying all kinds of stuff for their furry companions; although for the serious user quality and usability of a dog leash or a cat pillow would probably top any design gimmicks. But if the quality exceeds expectations there’s a fair chance such products would find buyers.
The main catch though is something different: anything using trademarked/copyrighted designs and materials like the gun logo symbol, the gunbarrel image or any other Eon output needs their express approval and authorisation, coming only with a fee. Whatever you plan on doing, get Eon’s permission first.

A squeaky one.
