Here's the first look at the unpainted Saurornitholestes resin prototype!

 So there you have it- brand new raptor to add to the 'pack'!

 I plan to have the finished painted Saurornitholestes to show you all by the end of next week.

Almost to $195,000- time to unleash the Pyroraptor!

Stretch goal raptor update and FAQ section added

I'm so happy to see you guys blowing right through the stretch goals- they're being unlocked much faster than I could have imagined! So while I don't expect to have the next package art illustration until early next week, I have updated all of the remaining stretch goals with concept drawings and a reference photo for the colors and patterns of each raptor figure. This should give you a better idea of what to expect until I have more to show.

Stretch goal #5- Acheroraptor temertyorum

 So there's a look at what's still to come. I will be updating these stretch goals as Jonathan sends me more art-  you just can't rush genius like that!

Also- as some of you have suggested, I have added an FAQ section to the bottom of the campaign page and will be updating it throughout the campaign. If you guys have suggestions for what to add to it, feel free to comment below.

Tomorrow, expect your first look at the Saurornitholestes prototype!

Stretch goal raptors revealed!! Kind of...
almost 8 years ago – Thu, May 12, 2016 at 12:27:11 AM

You guys are really hitting those stretch goals faster than I'd expected! I'll be unveiling the fourth stretch goal raptor- Dromaeosaurus- tomorrow. But for now, I have added teasers of the remaining stretch goal raptors to the cmapaign page and here's al look at where we're at so far:

 We'll be unlocking Dromaeosaurus soon!

Stretch Goal #1 UNLOCKED- Saurornitholestes sullivani is a go! And sculpt update..
almost 8 years ago – Tue, May 10, 2016 at 11:44:01 PM

Yesterday we met the main funding goal in amazing time! And now we've already unlocked the first stretch goal- Saurornitholestes sullivani. Each stretch goal will be an add-on to your existing pledge same as the Velcoiraptor o. exclusive figure. The amount for this and each stretch goal raptor moving forward will be $35 for US backers or $37 for international backers (no additional shipping is required when adding to a raptor figure pledge tier). You will be able to select the reward with the BackerKit survey at the end, but you will not find a button for the stretch goals on the campaign page.

The new parts for Saurornitholestes sullivani are nearly complete and I expect to have a prototype to show you soon. Take a look at the in-progress (nearly final) newly sculpted parts for Saurornitholestes:

 So there's a little peek at what to expect parts-wise with this guy. Really looking forward to showing you all another new raptor figure!

Now, who's ready for stretch goal #2?
