Chunarian Guardsman Card Art

The figures will be packaged in fun, collector-friendly bubble backs. Meaning you can take the figures out of the package and then place them back in the bubble without damaging the card art!


Being a professional graphic designer and illustrator before going into toy design means that I was very eager to make our packaging not only fun and relevant but also distinct on the toy aisles and collectors walls, all while retaining a classic 3 3/4 card back look and feel!

- Jason

Jason's got a crap phone that dropped the card art URL, apparently:

Heads Up!

It’s the start of a new week and what better way to fight those Monday morning blues, than with new accessory reveals?! Here are 2 alternate heads that will be included in the army builder figures: Horrid Soldiers,*Chunarian Archer, &*Horrid Marksmen!*These will be 3D Printed and painted to give everyone an idea of what the final products will look like when they are complete.*

So you may have guessed that since we have shown these 2 heads there will more alternate heads for other characters as well, and you’d be right!*

Keep following the campaign for more reveals in future updates!*

A post from BFS's Catrina over on Fb:
Yeah, yeah, I know this isn't BFS or HACKS, but this is a pretty sweet selection of figures Jason has in his All-In set. When I get my set, I may use some of the extra shields with my Spartans, since we only did the perfectly round style. Also, I'm fairly certain there needs to be some kind of Spartan with a primate head. The other weapons would look great with our fantasy stuff. I'm also just looking forward to expanding our cross-universe with this primate world.

Jason

The Preview is just a selection of random pages from the first six issues of Jason's comic I thought illumated the Kingdom universe and cast and the pages progress more-or-less linearly, but it isn't a unified tale from page to page. We're hosting the Preview pdf on my Drive account, and I think I've got it set up so anyone can access it; but let me know if you have any problems.

Grrr, all the best villains are stretch goals. Still, wishing them the best of luck.

Update #10:
Necro Armor Pale - Work in Progress Sculpt

Today we have a sneak peak of our Necro-Armor Pale W.I.P. *
Throughout the first story arc, Pale grows in power and his look and armor evolve to reflect these changes.


Here we have Pale at the height of his struggle between becoming the hero he's meant to be or falling from the light and onto the path of a villain! This sculpt, by one of our very talented sculptors Jose Fernandez, is a work in progress so look for the figure to progress in future updates! Concept art by Jason Bienvenu

Note: these armor pieces (2 pieces Top chest armor, and lower belt piece) will be made of a softer PVC allowing for movement of the ab crunch crunch and hip articulation.

Why is it everything I want is in the stretch goals?

Nevermind. I just realized that Cobra Gorilla Rapist customizer will probably put down $5,000 on this kickstarter.

Soft PVC harnesses, eh? Hope they use a better material than MegaBloks.

I would purchase the entire first row!! The turtle guy in multiples,and the last one in the space pirate row!!

The turtle is fucking epic! I must own like 10! The first two birds are bad ass! My only complaint on them is using wings as hands. Kinda a pet peeve of mine,but I would still buy them. It'd be better if they had artificial appendages as arms,and their wings stayed functional as wings. I'm not digging the feather fingers..

I think it could be the design. Just a bit cartoony for some folks' taste.

I think everything is just going to have a rough time on kickstarter because everyone is throwing all of their money at Marauder and Boss Fight. Marauder reveals didn't help their cause any.

Plus I was thinking the deadline was later and forgot to throw my $400 at it.

It was an incredibly ambitious project. I think if they had started it as a graphic novel project with sample art, then started with a couple figures as a stretch goal, they would have gotten it going and would have something to show retailers. They might go that route anyways. I don't know. I think there was a lot of nice toys thrown at a collector group not known for accepting something new. I think with a good story, the property could do well with kids and ultimately kickstarter isn't good at gauging projects that would succeed with children.

I didn't even notice until the last day that you could support for $15 and get a graphic novel. Most of my friends are comic fans and don't want anything to do with figure. That would have been a great selling point, if we had time.

Copying an Fb post from The Plastic Empire:
Hey everybody, we just wanted to reach out and talk about a project we really believe in. Animal Warriors of The Kingdom, this is a toy line based off a comic series by Jason Bienvenu. He launched a kickstarter to fund the action figure line but, unfortunately, it wasn't funded. Now in support of him and the future kickstarter relaunch (Spring 2017), we would like to start to get that buzz going early.
Jason has been gracious enough to offer his comic, The Kingdom for FREE in digital format. This is 177 pages FREE!!! The book can be downloaded here FREE:
https://gumroad.com/l/KingVol01/kingvol01kick
I would please ask:
1. SHARE this with friends, groups, children and adults. It is FREE!! Kids love their tablets and technology in this day and age, so give them a taste of what we grew up with on their platforms, then once that interest is sparked, give them our old tried and true format, the ACTION FIGURES!!! Get kids involved again, grow the next IP for our kids to get behind and follow. Create the next generation of "FANS".
2. SUPPORT, please support a small budding company, help them get off the ground and to grow, this IP is deep, it's well thought out and there's years of awesome things to come before the first wave is even launched.
3. Stay tuned for the next kickstarter. We will be posting info as it comes up here on our page and you can also LIKE The Animal Warriors of The Kingdom page which we tagged earlier in this post. They of course will keep you updated as well.
4. Again PLEASE, SHARE and LIKE their page.
5. SHARE this with your children as well, if you don't have children but, have children in your life, SHARE it with them. Jason wants this to be for collectors as well as children. He isn't looking to make this a one off, he wants this to be something nostalgic for future generations. Let's help support that ideology and that goal.
For more details on the Toy line and the Comic books check out their website:
https://jason-bienvenu-eq90.squarespace.com/
Also check out their original Kickstarter for an even deeper look at the line and some of the future waves:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thekingdomcomic/animal-warriors-of-the-kingdom
Jason, it has been an honor getting to know you and becoming a friend. We wish you success and we will be there to help you succeed in any way we can. We love your passion, vision and love for what you do!

Just a couple quick pics of the keen Face Cleaver of Ultra-Hate Jason Bienvenu sent me yday. It's very stiff and sturdy unlike most Hasbro weapons these days, and fits perfectly in Val's hand. More please, Jason!
