The Cursed Dead - 1:12 scale horror action figures - WAVE 1

FUNDED (but we're not done yet)
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jan 31, 2025 at 12:53:24 PM

MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our backers, you all ROCK, we're on our way to raising the dead... but the campaign isn't over yet - we've still got a little over 24 hours to go!!!

Adam was on Toying Around - Unboxing Thursdays last night and then Adam & Josh were both on Toymigos "They're Not Dolls!" when they got the news that the campaign was fully funded, please click on the respective links if you'd like to watch the replays on YouTube.

We have enabled the Kickstarter Late Pledges feature, this will count towards any unlocks. Anyone who pledges AFTER the campaign has ended WILL be paying a few dollars more than the current campaign rewards and add-ons, so making sure you have pledged for everything you want before the campaign ends tomorrow at 6pm PST is the best way to lock in the lowest pricing options. 

Here's a quick rundown of how to manage your pledge & add-ons:

- Open our Kickstarter campaign link & click Manage Your Pledge

- Then click Change Your Pledge

- Choose your reward (it can stay the same or you can change it here if you wish) 

- You will then have the option to select as many add-ons as you’d like!

We'll be hitting a few more livestreams tonight/tomorrow before the campaign ends, as always we will be saving these to our YouTube Playlists.

Please continue to SHARE and tell anyone/everyone that The Cursed Dead - WAVE 1 is happening and that getting your pledge in and finalized before 6pm PST tomorrow is the best way to make sure you lock in the the lowest prices!

Almost funded - 48 hours to go - BASIC figure - Manglers STRETCH GOAL reveal!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 05:49:56 PM

We have 48 hours left to go with the campaign, reminder emails are going out any minute now to anyone who signed up for a notification, we're hoping to get a little bit of a surge of new backers - so we wanted to reveal our BASIC figure - Manglers STRETCH GOAL that we are setting our sights on and hoping to unlock and make available as an ADD-ON:

BASIC figure - Manglers

1:12 scale (between 6.75” - 7” tall) highly articulated action figure includes:

• 2 heads (Mangler head with articulated / Skull head with articulated jaw)

• 4 sets of hands

• 2 sets of feet

BASIC figure - Manglers
 

Tales of mysterious lights coming from far below the waves go back farther than the written word. Ancient cuneiform tablets tell tales of fish-like creatures, larger than a man, that would bedazzle fishermen and lure them into the briny depths... to consume them. 

The few survivors of these encounters claim that it starts with 2 glowing lights coming from deep within the bottomless murky water - so captivating that you can’t look away. They speak of hearing a faint song that sounds reminiscent of a child-like lullaby. 

Some have called them the Oannes, others referred to them as the Apkallu. Legends claim that when the very first creatures crawled forth from the ocean, some turned back, displeased with the world they found above the water, instead choosing to return to the darkness from which they came. 

Now, with overfishing & pollution choking even the most remote parts of the seas, these creatures have risen back up from the abyss. 

Beware the lights… and the song... of the Manglers. 

As we approach the end of the Kickstarter campaign, SHARING is more important than ever, your help is much appreciated!!!

VHS inspired packaging mock-up!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 12:16:33 PM

If you've watched any of our livestream appearances then you've probably heard us talk about what we are planning to do for packaging, if not, then here is the rundown as well as a 1st look at an early (not final) mock-up of the Wendigo VHS inspired packaging artwork!

Approximate packaging dimensions: 10" x 7" x 3"

Collector friendly packaging - a transparent removable blister tray insert in a full color window box with a front flap with velcro closures (imagine NECA Ultimate or BBTS Monster Force packaging).

Our "classic" Monsters (Drinkers, Gourdy, Doctor Crane, Doctor Scante, Krankle, & Wendigo) will all have unique VHS inspired packaging artwork.

The demons (Djinn, Hæt & Wragē) will have the same size/style packaging but the artwork will instead be inspired by ancient books (imagine something more along the lines of the Necronomicon).

Here's a look at the 1st pass for the Wendigo VHS packaging artwork:

The KS campaign ends on Saturday, February 1st a little after 6pm PST, please keep on SHARING so we can all raise the dead!!!

Hold on to your butts... we're in the endgame now!!!
