Tenacious Toys Exclusive White OMFG Series 2 sets now up for preorder

 We now have our Exclusive White OMFG Series 2 figures up for preorder here. We expect our shipment to arrive this month or next month, if there are no delays. The set of 5 figures (bagged with header card artwork by Carlos Soto) is $10, and we have 200 sets made in our white colorway.

What is OMFG?
Good question! OMFG stands for "Outlandish Mini Figure Guys" and they harken back to the MUSCLE figures we played with as kids growing up in the 80s. OMFG is and always had been a community-driven project. Helmed by George and Ayleen of October Toys, the figures in both  OMFG series were designed by various artists from all over the globe. October Toys held an open call submission process on their forum, yielding hundreds of character submissions that were compiled and voted upon by the toy collecting community. In each series, 5 winners were chosen and put into production.

Of course, production costs money, so October Toys turned to Kickstarter to fund these series of toys. A few select retailers- smart enough to know a good thing when we see it- jumped on board with each series to request and pay for their own exclusive colorways of OMFG figures. For Series 2, we opted for White, as we have a lot of artist customers who'd probably be interested in picking up a few sets to paint. If sales from our Series 2 White figures go well, we will reinvest in October Toys by purchasing a White Exclusive run of Series 1. For now, you can go to our shop and order Series 1 sets in Flesh or GID.

The figures in OMFG Series 2 are as follows:

1. Puke Knight designed and sculpted by Jared DeCosta (aka redjarojam) from Massachusetts
2. Grimm Gourd concept by ScruffyNerfHrdr from Kansas, designed by Charles Marsh (aka Monsterforge) from South Carolina, and sculpted by Mike Fleming Jr (aka M-Flem-Jr) from Colorado
3. Shirtle designed by Kenjitron from Hawaii and sculpted by George Gaspar from Los Angeles
4. Cuddlehard designed and sculpted by turboPISTOLA from Tennessee
5. Cry-Borg designed by Andrew Scribner (aka RuFuS) from Rhode Island
