The O.C. Merchandise: Seth Cohen Pillowcase!

As we scour The O.C. web old and new, we like to find unique or rare The O.C. merchandise and share it with you. That is what The O.C. Merchandise posts are all about!

With that being said here we have a rare one of a kind custom creation! A "I love Seth Cohen" pillowcase! Features 4 corners of pure plush O.C. goodness, Captain Oats not included! During the O.C. heyday, it was pretty normal to see shirts that favored Seth Cohen with generic catchphrases such as "Adorkable" or "Obsethed". But this pillowcase takes the cake with originality that only Seth Cohen himself would appreciate!

The O.C. Merchandise: The O.C. For Him Cologne

Ah yes TV show merchandise! When a TV show is a hit, opportunity comes knocking to capitalize on the large audience and start selling branded TV show products to the masses. This happened especially a lot for The O.C one of which turned out to be a O.C. cologne! In 2006 a company called AMC Beauty came out with a men's cologne called "O.C. For Him". It smells great and whenever I take a whiff of it I imagine this is what the pool house bathroom smells like. Heck Ryan probably bathed in the stuff before attending the Newport social scene. "Did I hear you were from Canada!", "Yes you did". The cologne features strong notes of amber and musk, giving it a sophisticated confident scent that works for any occasion. The bottle and box features a cool blue water like design that is very O.C..However this cologne is hard to come and practically a collectors item these days which I can assume is because they don't make it anymore. There's guys all across America holding out, spraying this bad boy only once a month to make it last longer! So if you're looking to score this stuff in the wild via your favorite box store think again! But fear not my friends - a quick google search reveals a couple of places that you can still score this cologne brand new sealed in box! Per my research the best place is eBay, with a couple of listings currently for sale and can be had for under 20 bucks with free shipping - which is probably costs as much as a crab leg at the Crab Shack, so this is a no brainer! So get it while the getting's good, buy it and don't look back, its the gift that keeps on giving, one spray at a time!

The backside reads: "Treat yourself to the fresh, masculine scent of The O.C. FOR HIM. A sophisticated, charismatic expression of Southern California's casual cool for a whole lot of clean and sexy to provide the right stuff for smelling your best any time of day."

Love the bit of brain washing near the bottom "Tune into FOX and don't miss a moment of "The OC"!" It also features shameless links to fox.com and theocinsider.com..AND Surprisingly enough this magic pimp juice was created in the USA! 

The O.C. Merchandise: A Seth Cohen Action Figure Almost Happened!

You heard it right, a Seth Cohen action figure was kinda suppose to happen. Back in 2005 a company called Strange Mark Studios (or SMS) posted on the custom action figure site joeacevedo.com details about the figure. Complete with photos of the prototype! 

According to the site they called the prototype "Skater Seth", which is appropriate although I think he only uses his skateboard in a handful of episodes (I'll have to fact check Captain Oats to verify). Look at that likeness though, curly hair, proper attire, pretty spot on replica clothing (see photo above, same shirt artwork worn in the pilot episode), not so sure about the chain wallet though - that's more a Chino thing (ewwww!). So yeah this could have happened, makes you wonder why another company didn't scoop up the idea! Sighhhh..Here's the link to the site!
