Kickstarter - Kaiju USB: GODAI Guardians

by
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/usbmemorydirect/kaiju-usb-godai-guardians?ref=live
Character based and custom shaped USB drives have been around for some time, allowing people to carry a fun little character on a keyring, rather than the typical boring USB drive. USB Memory Direct agrees with this notion and has launched a Kickstarter to help fund the creation of Kaiju USB: GODAI Guardians. USB Memory Direct specializes in USB drives as promotional tools for companies, but also like to explore other creative ideas. Failing to receive funding for Kaiju USB through traditional funding methods, the Creative Director at USB Memory Direct Hector Franco, decided to take the idea to Kickstarter.
“I decided to go on Kickstarter because this is really a community product. I love these toys, the story, and the rich past they represent. But it means nothing if I can’t share it with a strong community of followers and supporters,” – Hector, Creative Director.
 
Not only is Hector trying to develop a cool collectible USB drive, Hector and his team are creating a complete storyline. Each of the Kaiju characters have a story and a purpose. A brief from the Kickstarter Page:
Welcome to the world of GODAI.
This galaxy is inhabited by creatures called Kaiju!
Planet Earth was formed from the GODAI– The 5 natural elements of the universe:
Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void
These 5 elements created the world and then took the form of 4 Guardians (earth, water, fire, wind) and the Overseer (void).
Concept Drawings for GODAI Guardians - USB Memory Direct
Having already developed a working prototype for one of the characters, GODAI Chi, a fully funded Kickstarter will provide the means for the creation of prototypes and full production for all of the GODAI characters. The total funding goal is set to $25,000, hoping to be funded within a 30 day timeline.
Prototype of GODAI Chi - USB Memory Direct
With many different Reward levels available, from a $2 pledge for a Desktop Wallpaper, to a $240 Collect Them all Inferno Package, there is a reward level available for everyone. Early Backers can save some money by snagging one of the limited cheaper Reward Tiers, $20 for an 8GB Kaiju USB or $35 for a 16GB Kaiju USB. The Price for everyone after the Early Bird Tiers fill up are $25 and $40 respectively. This pricing is inline with many of the current character based USB Drives, however, if all goes well with this project, these Kaiju USB are going to have 3D features, as opposed to just paint.
 
As with all Kickstarters, money will not get transferred to USB Memory Direct until the end of the Kickstarter project and ONLY if the Kickstarter gets fully funded. For Kaiju USB, this means reaching the total amount of $25000. So check out the Kickstarter Video and head on over to the Kaiju USB: GODAI Guardians Kickstarter page to learn more about the project. Stay tuned for more info!

This is an official custom and is a 1/1 piece. Titled '5pm' this is Creo Designs take on Marks beautiful 'unplugged' design which metaphorically illustrates the daily grind that never stops and how you feel at the end of each day - worn-down and exhausted.

This is a 1/1 solid resin custom and stands over 25cm on a base. Priced at £500 (same as a standard unplugged model) with free international shipping

'5pm' will be released at 5pm GMT on the 15th March 2014 via www.cdtoys.co.uk

3A UKTK Exclusive for ToyConUK!

by
Background........

To those who know me, me as OneSixthBruce here in UK, will know that I am a collector of 3A as well as an official 3A dealer, 3A retail has been a staple on OSB almost as soon as OSB was set up.

Ive always planned and have done in the past put on a display of 3A at UK conventions, such as the London Film and Comic Con, normally mixed in with other manufacturers, like Hot Toys and Enterbay

Not many dedicated displays have been put on, in May last year UK artist and 3A collector RYCA did put on fantastic show at the Roctic East Gallery, Brick Lane, London, so following on from that, very early on I booked a booth at ToyConUK  - UK's dedicated designer toy convention.

Some have asked me why I planned to set up a booth at ToyConUK and not at a bigger, larger convention like I use to show at like LFCC.

1. I have to be honest, the UK convention scene is not like the ones in the USA or other parts of the world. It got to the point where most of the people attending only attend to get photos and autographs with the guest, and with discussions I've had with many UK dealers, the huge investment made to put on a booth, the return is not that great! I'm not being negative in any way to the UK convention scene, its great day out but as a business with OSB its got to the point of not being worth it, so for the past few years I've not attended any UK cons.

2. I have found that many many designer toy collectors also collect 3A or are starting to have a keen interest in 3A, so rather than attend a big convention, I was more than happy to show at a much smaller convention with like minded attendees.

OK, now to the point, teaser pics so far...





So, I'm super excited that 3A has given the go ahead to a UK exclusive, many of the UK Legion will be attending too, we will show the world that this island we live on is a UKTK one!

UKTK will only be sold at ToyConUK - 12th April 2014, unfortunately all tickets have been sold out but I do believe that some will be available on the day (please contact ToyCon for info on that)

No plan as yet on how we will sell, info nearer the time.

A few will be auctioned of on eBay with 100% of the proceeds going to Cancer Research

Only have teaser pics at the moment but will update when full images are available.

As well as the exclusive, there will be on show a range of 3A releases from early Noms. TKs etc etc to the most recent 3A releases.

Big Thanks to Ash and Kim at 3A and not forgetting my bothers and sisters of the UK Legion

Thanks for reading

Baby Cthulhu Resin Kickstarter by Monster Mind Sculpts

by
Baby Cthulhu Resin figure by Monster Mind Sculpts

If the popularity of an idea is judged by the speed at which its Kickstarter is fully funded or the amount of money over the initial goal is received, then Baby Cthulhu by Monster Mind Sculpts is at the top of the heap. Just an hour after the Kickstarter went live it was fully funded, reaching its initial $3,500 goal.  With nineteen days to go Monster Mind Sculpts has collected over $18,000 dollars, more than five times its initial goal.  

Baby Cthulhus are 3.5" tall resin figures, sculpted by the amazingly talented Cassia Harries of Monster Mind Sculpts and cast by the equally amazing Task One.

While almost everything above the $35 pledge level is gone (at the time of writing, there is one $45 pledge left featuring a glow-in-the-dark version*) you can still get in on the DIY Baby Cthulhu, keychains, stickers, postcards or even a wallpaper.

*I'm strongly considering bumping my pledge up and nabbing that $45 spot.
