Hey Gang!
We hope everyone is doing AWESOME and still waking up with that "MONSTORRRSSS!!!" Battle Cry in their head haha!
HUGE thanks to everyone for your patience as we navigate through the next stages of this crazy campaign process! People tell you Kickstarters are a LOT of work, and man, this has been even more insane than we anticipated!
Here're some UPDATES for everyone!
PAYMENTS - Please make sure you have updated your payment info on Kickstarter. If not, your pledge might not go through, and you only have 7 days (from the time it ended) to fix it. So that’s basically two days from now. So get on it!
BACKERKIT - We have a call set up with them today to really go over EVERYTHING and we're hoping we can get some concrete direction as to how we handle whats coming next, when, etc.
UPDATING YOUR PLEDGES AND THE $160,000 UNLOCKS - We did mention we'd be offering late pledges to the KS campaign, and honestly we thought it'd be cleaner to transition all of that over to the BackerKit process. We do have the FISH-HEAD and LIZARD-BRO guys ready to go for that process, so no worries about them as far as we know!
And I think that's it for now! Thanks again gang, we hope everyone is safe and awesome, and thank you again SO MUCH for your support, patience, and understanding with all this craziness! We'll send out another update SOON about the BackerKit process, Shipping Estimates, and Production real soon! Dont hesitate to send us a message if you have any questions, comments, need live advice, suggestions, etc!

HOLY COW ITS OVER!!! (KINDA) WHATS NEXT!?!?!
over 1 year ago
– Thu, Oct 10, 2024 at 11:16:19 AM
Hey Gang!
FIRST - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who supported this crazy campaign!!! We couldnt have done it without all the love, support, feedback and MONEY from you all, seriously! WE NEEDED MONEY!!! AND SHARING! All the word of mouth was HUGE, thank you EVERYONE who helped push our campaign out into the world!!!
SECOND - Getting lots of questions about "POST-KS" and we're still figuring things out... this is our first rodeo and we came in as prepared as possible, but still lot of "I THINK so?..." with these things until you actually do one. SO HERE'S WHERE WE'RE AT!
- We very much want to keep the "Campaign Open" for everyone who has BACKED! So if you BACKED, you're still involved, YAY!!!
- How does this continue? Well, we're signed up for BackerKit, but we have some stuff to figure out before that can Transition Over / LAUNCH, so hang tight for a bit!
- $160,000 STRETCH GOAL! - We did almost $10,000 in the last few hours, which is insane to me, and we got SOOOOOO CLOSE to $150,000, but still got some distance to $160,000 with the new Fish-Head and Lizard-Bro Variants! So we're doing "LATE PLEDGES" for those, how's that work? GOOD QUESTION!
LATE PLEDGES - WHAT I KNOW (not much, HA!)
- I decided to freak out with less than 30 minutes remaining in the KS campaign, thinking if I didnt do this I would never be able to... so I added every $160K locked items in, but found out I could make LATE PLEDGE pledges active later! So what we're looking at doing:
- Oct 11th (tomorrow) 1030am Pacific, these will go "LIVE" but they wont actually be MADE unless we actually hit the $160,000 mark. So think of it as a pre-order for a stretch-goal?... I might be doing this wrong, but I wanted to see what is possible!
- And I can end them whenever... so maybe before backerkit, maybe they carry over to backerkit?... I dont know, still figuring this out, but I wanted to see what could be possible!
So here's what will be available:
FISH-HEAD FIGURE! - $55 each
Backers will receive (1) Fish-Head with new head sculpt, new axe weapon, and paint variant of his lil’ buddy Starfish! Oh, and a base!
***Please Note - THIS WILL ONLY BE MADE IF WE HIT $160,000!***
***Please Note - SHIPPING COSTS WILL BE ADDED AFTER the campaign!***
---
LIZARD-BRO FIGURE! - $55 each
Backers will receive (1) Lizard-Bro with new head sculpt, new sword weapon, and paint variant of his lil’ buddy Camel-Spider! Oh, and a base!
***Please Note - THIS WILL ONLY BE MADE IF WE HIT $160,000!***
***Please Note - SHIPPING COSTS WILL BE ADDED AFTER the campaign!***
---
FISH-HEAD “GLOW IN THE DARK” VARIANT! - $55 each
Backers will receive (1) Fish-Head injected with GLOW and a fresh new unique colorway!
Comes with all his accessories, new head sculpt, new axe weapon, and paint variant of his lil’ buddy Starfish! Oh, and a base!

---
I think that's it for now...
MORE UPDATES TO COME! Like...
SHIPPING! Im getting with my shipping logistics partner on that soon and we will have estimates ready before the BackerKit portion kicks off! So expect a meaty update on that soon!
PRODUCTION! Me and my production partner are still figuring things out with the factory. We might have a solid place to call home, we might need to relocate, but the most important thing is QUALITY! We will keep everyone in the loop, but know that I'd rather a project be late and done AWESOME, rather than cut corners to rush something I'm not 100% happy with. You ALL trusted me with this campaign, with these figures, I am going to deliver the GOODS BABY!!!
BBTS - Joel and team are AWESOME, and so long as they will have us (and our product) we will keep things updated with them on their site (minus EXCLUSIVES, of course). So if we hit $160,000, they will probably carry the new variants, etc. I know money is tight for a lot of people and some of you wanna spread things out, so if you need to do anything through BBTS we totally get it and appreciate your support either directly, or indirectly, thank you!
LASTLY, again, THANK YOU again EVERYONE who was a part of this campaign! It's not over, we just finished watching Fellowship of the Ring and now it's time to get ready for Helm's DEEP!
PS - Please keep asking questions, send us messages, comments, suggestions, anything, we appreciate all the feedback! THANK YOU!
MONSTORRRRSSSS!!!!
