I think they've been uploaded since march, but set as private. Valve probably declined the items while they were private, so they set it to public to try to get more interest in them so Valve will change their minds somewhere down the road.

If that darn crowbar will be another all class reskin(no new Stats) well then damn it

You say that as if the hat wasn't made with that in mind.

What then, do you want the bat for all classes?
An all class crowbar would be a rather obvious reference to TFC, where all any class had was crowbars, except for engie. He had his spanner.

The creator stated multiple times that he based it on generic cartoon ponies and not "MUH BRONIES", he never had that intention and it was Valve who decided to make the references in the voice lines.

I hope Valve accepts these promos, it would be the perfect opportunity to include a crowbar in the game AND normal glasses (it would mainly be used for hipster loadouts but it's still nice to have glasses that aren't sunglasses #100)
[QUOTE=G. Verloren;47668800]So I get that TF2 is a game in which cartoon mercenaries violently kill each other, but can we just [I][B]not[/B][/I] design items that "glorify" (or otherwise portray in a non-negative light) notorious real life serial killers who were never caught?

nah

look i understand completely that just because it's a colorful horse doesn't mean MLP directly inspired it but it's downright silly to try and get around the fact at all that mlp played some sort of part in inspiring the item

If i remember correctly he even also posted a design source once as well, with a unicorn commando background/minor character from a Billy and Mandy styled show, which was basically the most generic cartoon unicorn ever, which is more in lieu with the Magical Merc's design as opposed to MLP. Sure maybe MLP gave him the idea to make a unicorn hat or something, but that's far from it actually being MLP based, so it would be incorrect to just call it a "pony hat" and hate on it for that reason alone.
This being said, this is where i re-post this, as I have every single time this argument has been brought about:

Yeah, too soon. In the TF2 timeline, those murders just happened a couple years ago.

I made some (paintable) combat boots to go along with the grenade launcher, still considering to make a (full) set out of this

The boots look really good, you should consider making a full set out of the items.
this'll probably be the last i post of this concept for a while since it doesn't seem to be getting that much attention or approval, but here we go. color vote time.

Only major difference seems to be the pants, and I'm not sure what the seams in v1 are for. I would suggest changing it cargo pants, but that was already done with one of the EotL miscs. It still looks nice. The demo definitely deserves something to go along with the boots you made.
Just sum shit. Wip on textures. Crits?

I think it would work best if it was the same 'cream spirit' color as his default glove - the yellow you have now on BLU, but yellow-orange on RED.

I hope that strap is part of a duffel bag, I could imagine he carries those magazines for the new Grenade Launcher in it.
Another cool idea for a leg misc is a belt with hand grenades of all shapes and sizes strapped to it on his thigh.

For the handgrenade thingy, I'm working on it for my demoman set, so you just need to wait for it to be done ^^

The bow-tie seems a bit too big (mostly height wise), but other then that it looks really good.

Will this be part of a set? :D
[QUOTE=La Boite;47685369]Will this be part of a set? :D[/QUOTE]
Maybe, possibly in the future. At the moment though, no, simply because I'm a bit tired right now and all my research has lead to me wanting to use those visual references for something I actually want to do as a set. This is just a one off item so I can fulfill myself creatively.
Speaking of, I think this colour layout is working out so I'll just neaten it up whenever.
