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 10 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?

How to add 'add-ons' to your existing pledge level and... WE'RE FUNDED!!!
almost 10 years ago – Mon, May 09, 2016 at 10:48:45 PM

I've noticed that since I've posted the Kickstarter Exclusive raptor there has been a bit of confusion about how to pledge for add-ons. My apologies for not elaborating on this sooner, I know a lot of you are new to Kickstarter and I would like to address this in detail here.

So with Kickstarter, you are only allowed to pledge for one reward. Anything past that will be considered an 'add-on', even another tiers. (as stated before, I would not suggest adding-on the 'print tier' as it is limited and you could miss out). For add-on items, simply add the funds you need to your existing pledge. For example, if your pledge level is for the 'Raptor Pack' and you want the Velociraptor osmolskae, add $30 to your existing pledge (or $32 for international.) Or, once the stretch goals are unlocked *fingers crossed*, you'll simply add $35 for each figure ($37 for international.) Any amount can be added at anytime-  you can adjust your pledge as much as you'd like during the campaign. Also, you won't see a button for the add-ons, so don't worry when you can't find one. And please keep in mind, no money is collected until the campaign is over and funded.

After the campaign ends you'll be able to select your rewards with the BackerKit survey as long as the funds are there. You'll even be able to make adjustments at that time if needed.

Hope this clears things up for you all. If there's anything I didn't address, please leave your questions below.

And by the way- WE MADE IT!! BEASTS OF THE MESOZOIC IS OFFICIALLY FUNDED!! Thank you all so much, I'm extremely grateful for all of the incredible support thus far! But now we have stretch goals to reach. There are plenty more raptors to be made so lets keep it going!!!

Thank you all for the amazing response to the reveal of the Velociraptor osmolskae Kickstarter exclusive figure! Now as promised, here's a look at the painted prototype. For this one I employed the painting skills of my talented friend Matt Holt, who has painted for McFarlane Toys and Hasbro! Take a look!

So there it is, Velociraptor osmolskae! New photos will be added to the campaign page later tonight. In the meantime feel free to share these photos around the web, or any of the photos on the campaign page. Keep the word going around!
