When I Was Little, We Made Our Own Toys… And I Still Am
Jason Bienvenu writes,
Way back in 2010 I was sitting on my sofa thinking "wouldn't it be cool to have a comic book…that had toys and maybe even a cartoon?" Well I know at that point I didn't have the resources or knowledge to make a toy line or cartoon pilot but I could draw, so I set to work on creating the first issue of what was then called "The Kingdom" after completing two issues and realizing I could do it I planned out and created my first kickstarter.
After a few years of planning and doing convention promoting and selling the comic trade I decided that the time was right to create the toy line that I had dreamt about all those years ago.
So after spending that last two years research developing and creating the first series of action figures we where finally ready to launch phase II!
We are now in day 5 of the kickstarter and as of this post already at 50% of our goal! Here's a few details about the action figures and series in general.
ANIMAL WARRIORS OF THE KINGDOM™ Series One: will consist of Ape, Canine, and Feline warriors, including the series' main protagonist the albino ape Pale and his vile nemesis Baron Kah Lee. Each figure features 17 points of articulation as well as weapon accessories.
THE FIGURES: are 1:18 scale figures similar to G.I. Joe, Marvel Universe, H.A.C.K.S, Marauder Task Force, Dime Novel Legends, Eagle Force Returns, and Zombie Lab figures. The figures are sculpted and colored to be faithful to the comic book source material while remaining highly detailed and having great crossover potential for lines like those mentioned above and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Mythic Legions!
