Under the Radar: OMFG! Series 2 KickstarterOur recent post on October Toys' SDCC booth reminded me about the OMFG! Series 2 Kickstarter ... and that I somehow missed posting about it before. Series 2 is again being done by October Toys, a.k.a. Ayleen and George Gaspar, who are following up Series 1 with five new designs:
To help raise US$12,000 in funds for Series 2 production, October Toys has set up their Kickstarter with different prizes at different levels. Everyone who donates gets an OMFG! sticker, but the levels include different colorways of Series 2; hand-painted Series 1 figures by Monsterforge; and the top donation level, at US$5,000, includes a personal sculpting/molding/casting lesson from George as well as an appearance on Toy Break (yes, airfare is paid for), plus a ton of other goodies. There's 17 days left to go for the Kickstarter, and George and Ayleen are about US$1,900 short of their goal. I have this feeling they will get to their target, but still, if you want some of the exclusives like those hand-painted OMFG! Series 1 figure sets, you have to help fund the Kickstarter! What do you think of the designs, Tomopeeps? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
