All Ceratopsian Kickstarter Stretch Goals Revealed plus New Podcast Interview!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Sep 25, 2019 at 07:01:02 PM

I just wanted to let everyone know that I recently added a list of all of the stretch goals with pricing for the Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsians Kickstarter! So if anyone has been on the fence waiting for certain figures to be funded, now you can better plan your pledge. Because of the amount of possible stretch goals, I plan to split them up into three waves for production efficiency.

 Wave 1  (estimated delivery Sept. 2020)

Wave 2 (estimated delivery March 2021)

Wave 3  (estimated delivery Sept. 2021)

We're currently at $132,000.00 and looking to hit our main funding goal soon, but there are a lot goals we want to hit so if anyone is planning to participate, now would be a great time to jump in! And for those that have already pledged- THANK YOU. :)


New Podcast Interview

I also wanted to let everyone know that my recent podcast interview will Sal Briggman at crowdcrux.com is up now- click here

The Raptor Series is the focus of this podcast as I discuss my experience with the Raptor Series Kickstarter- so for those wanting more insight on this project, give it a listen!

Thanks everyone!

The Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsians Kickstarter is LIVE
over 5 years ago – Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 05:25:23 PM

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to put the word out to all you Raptor Series backers that the next series in the Beasts of the Mesozoic action figure line, Ceratopsians, is now live on Kickstarter! Check it out here.

 Many of you have already pledged for these new figures, but I wanted to make sure I reached out to all those who may have missed the news. There are 25 possible ceratopsian figures total, so please check it out if you're interested in expanding your Beasts of the Mesozoic collection!

New 1/6th scale figures

We're currently three days in and are already over $92,000 of the $150,000 initial goal! And although most of the line is in 1/18th scale, there will be two 1/6th scale figures that are intended to compliment the Raptor Series: Protoceratops and Psittacosaurus, stretch goals #1 and #3 respectively.

Velocirapator may have some new competition soon.

If you're already a backer of the new campaign, thank you so much! For those just now finding out about the Ceratopsian Series, I hope that you'll join us and help to continue the Dinosaur Toy Revolution!

Enjoy!

David

Thank You

Again I can not thank everyone enough for the tremendous support and love that you all have shown for this project- you, the Kickstarter backers, have made this action figure series and thus the entire Beasts of the Mesozoic line, a reality. And thanks to the additional support through BackerKit, we now have the opportunity to extend the line for years to come. Fulfillment and customer service will be my priority in the coming weeks, but I will be putting together a proper video 'thank you' soon looking back on this project and discussing the future of the line, including details about the next Kickstarter campaign, Ceratopsians series 1.

So be sure to stay up to date with all of the latest news on the raptors, ceratopsians, and more by following me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. There is still much more in the works from Creative Beast Studio and the Beasts of the Mesozoic product line, even a few surprises...

hmm...
hmm...

 Take care everyone- bye for now and enjoy the holiday weekend!
