Skeleton Warriors Fight For Resurrection on Kickstarter
In a world where a pony evolved into the daughter of Cthulhu can be granted life via Kickstarter, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! That said, surely Skeleton Warriors can make a HUGE return, right? Waaaay ahead of its time, this 90's cartoon we like to call "Harryhausen's Wet Dream" was short lived, but the toy line it spawned was far more magnificent than most around it. Now, the fine folks at October Toys think it's time the creatures of bone and awesome get a second chance to haunt your toy shelves. PREPARE FOR THE RETURN OF SKELETON WARRIORS!!!
From October Toys - We love toys! We love monsters and skeletons! To make a long story
short, our fondness for the Skeleton Warriors figures from the 90's led
us to investigate the possibility of redesigning and updating the
characters...starting with the bad to the bone Baron Dark!
Originally
launched in 1994, it happens to be the 20th anniversary of the Skeleton
Warriors brand, which seems like the perfect time to revamp and update
these ridiculously fun characters!
As toy collectors ourselves,
we are designing these figures with collectors in mind and drawing
inspiration from both the 90's cartoon characters as well as original
concept art provided by the awesome team at Goddard Film Group, LLC.
Possibly the coolest feature of these new figures is that they are Glyos compatible!
The Glyos System, developed by the insanely talented Matt Doughty of
Onell Design, is a system for making action figure parts interchangeable
and is currently used by several independent toy companies. These
figures utilize Glybrid style joints, which allows for a combination of
traditional insert molded articulation with the swivel based Glyos fit
functions. We have been working closely with Matt throughout our
development process to ensure maximum compatibility while still
maintaining the unique characteristics of the Skeleton Warriors.
That means you can break these figures apart, reassemble them, and
even use the parts interchangeably with other Glyos System brands such
as The Four Horsemen's Power Lords, Outer Space Men, and even classic
Onell Design Glyos figures!
Baron Dark
5" fully painted PVC action figure
17 modular official Glyos compatible pieces
26 points of articulation
Comes with removable sword, cape, loin cloth, and arm guards (for a total of 21 pieces)
Packaged in full color collectors window box
Available in original colors and Kickstarter exclusive Lightstar Crystal Translucent Blue
This is designed to be a 1/18th scale line of articulated PVC action figures.
Baron Dark is the biggest of the main cast of characters and clocks in
at 5" tall with 26 points of articulation and sword! Future figures will
remain in scale; so for instance, Prince Lightstar will be 3 3/4" tall.
As you can see, we have Baron Dark ready to go into production as the
first figure of our updated Skeleton Warriors line. That's where you,
the amazing Kickstarter community come in!
Along with Baron Dark, we have organized some great incentives including a Titan Skeleton (comes in glow int he dark too!), Traveler Skeleden, a Baron Dark collector's statue and more!!
