It’s another Raven tease from the Four Horsemen – I’m really looking forward to this Kickstarter campaign!

Working on setting up the various tiers for the Kickstarter program for these figures! We should have news very soon. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and their offers of assistance! We REALLY do appreciate it!
Be sure to click through for more details on the possibilities for the Four Horsemen’s Kickstarter campaign for the Gothitropolis Ravens. I love the collected head shots for these figures and can’t wait to give this project a kick.
As many of you may have heard, in order to raise the funds to go into production on our next line of Gothitropolis characters currently just being referred to as “The Ravens”, we’re going to be doing a Kickstarter campaign. This is something we’ve never done before, but it’s something we’ve always wanted to try. As we’re gearing up for this project, we’re trying to come up with new and unique incentives to offer fans at various levels of the campaign.
I’ll admit it – when I saw the Kickstarter logo next to the 2-ups for the Gothitropolis Ravens at the latest Toypocalypse, I had a bit of a toygasm. We’ve talked many times over the past few years with the Four Horsemen about when we might finally be able to add these birds to our collections – the rising labor and material costs have been the primary challenge, and they’ve therefore been focused their attentions on toy lines like the Outer Space Men, which are easier to bring to market.
Now the fun begins – figuring out if the Fwoosh can participate with an exclusive, as we did with the Seventh Kingdom elephants and the Queen and her court. What do you guys think?

With the final pre-order window coming to a close on Monday, I’d like to take a pulse check on where you stand on Castle Grayskull – and no, that’s not a flimsy attempt at escape ledge humor. Up until Toy Fair, we had seen drawings, foam mockups, and teasers – now that the first painted prototype has been shown, what’s the verdict? Has seeing the Castle changed your mind one way or the other?
The Power Lords were front and center at the Four Horsemen’s Toypocalypse event tonight.

I was telling Hagop tonight that I have no recollection of the Power Lords, and he made the hurtful suggestion that maybe I was just too old. When the Four Horsemen announced the license, I looked at the old ads featuring the figures – since I didn’t have the nostalgic connection I had a hard time envisioning the brand as something that I’d want for myself.
These two-ups, though, are just really smart looking. I really like the re-imagined designs and the color palette. I’m very glad they separated the figures instead of trying to incorporate the “flip the figure for the powered-up guy” feature. The 4H style is unmistakeable. In that sense I wish these were going to be 6-inches instead of 4-inches, just because they look like they’d look great standing next to some DC Universe Classics figures.
