There is a relatively good amount of '''Croc Merchandise''' out there, at least given how long Croc was around for. Unfortunately, a good portion of it is promotional, and very difficult to obtain.
This is a page dedicated to all the croc merchandise out there.

who say that they obtained it when they visited argonaut).

-The wooden "?" box, containing a crystal with the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos logo set into its base, with an invite to the ECTS 1997 press party for the original game's launch etched into the lid (Forte Wily was given the last one of these by a Fox Interactive UK representative, with whom they corresponded with several times over the years back then, and then later got to meet in person when they were one of the winners of a trip to Argonaut Software Ltd. in 1999).

-Croc plushes, it is believed that there are fewer than ten in the UK - seven were given to those who won the trip to Argonaut, and at least a couple more were given away by magazines to promote Croc 2's launch; More of the plushes exist in the US, where they were used to promote the first game rather than the second, but it is unknown how many (probably more than the ones in UK).

-When Forte Wily visited Argonaut in 1999 (it was part of a promotion for Croc 2, where the winners got to [[File:222.png|thumb]]see the game being worked on, play-test a release candidate version* that was due to be sent off for approval the next day - which had some big textual differences to the final game, in that it was written in proper English and was full of British colloquialisms, instead of the toddler-style text that ended up in the final game - and, of course, take a tour of the studio and meet the team), Forte Wily was told that there was believed to have been a set of plastic figures made to promote the first game in what they recalled as being the US, at Toys 'R' Us branches, but Forte Wily has never been able to find such a thing in all the years since then. Forte Wily thinks it's possible that these could have been prototyped and approved, but then never mass-produced( but Forte Wily isn't sure about this).

Also Forte Wily said this:
"There is one more thing that remains a grail: There was a TV series pilot made by[[File:333.png|thumb]] Saban in 1999, but it was never aired anywhere. It got a mention in at least one British magazine (at around the same time as the Rayman television series was in production for its first airing in Canada, if memory serves), and the guys at Argonaut had either seen it, or had input on its production (they spoke about it during my visit). I was unable to obtain any more information on what had happened to it when I contacted Saban about five years or so ago, however. Again, if you can find this, more power to you - I suspect it would be next to impossible."
