Photo Set: The Four Horsies of the Pocalypse: Calamity

Bigshot Toyworks are known throughout the toy industry as top notch designers of action figures, art toys, mini figures and statues. With clients like Sideshow Collectibles, Pop Culture Shock, Mondo and Diamond Select, it's likely you own some of their work and didn't even know it. So what happens when toy makers-for-hire realize their own creations in three dimensions? Today, we take a look at one such work of art from Bigshot's Four Horsies of the Pocalypse toy project. Meet Calamity...

Toy Fair 2015: Four Horsies of the Pocalypse Destroy Kickstarter

We don't back a lot of Kickstarters here on Idle Hands because, frankly, when you write about one, 10 more come knocking for support. We'll admit we are a little biased on this one, as we've worked with the company for some time, but you can't help but support talent and an awesome idea! That's what lead us to talk about Maddie, the Cthulhu-esque Pony-Mentor of the Four Horsies of the Pocalypse. From playful concept that leaked onto the internet to fully funded Kickstarter, Maddie is now finding her way into the hands of grown up kids across the globe, so it is the perfect time to add her little charges to your collection! ..and the best part...THEY ARE ALREADY FULLY FUNDED! I love a sure thing!

Four Horsies of the Pocalypse Kickstarter Rapping Up

Just a quick notice that our friends at Bigshot Toyworks are preparing for THE END!!  Well..that's a double edged sword, isn't it? It's soon to be the end of their "Maddie", the loveable Cthulhu-esque horsie Kickstarter and the END OF ALL THINGS as she is born and enslaves the word...but really, would our lives be that different? More tentacles, to be sure...but not so different. Just thought we'd seize the opportunity to remind you that NOW is the time to jump on in and secure your figures...and further entice you with some limited edition figures that have been announced along the way...

The Origins of Maddie and The Four Horsies of the Pocalypse

They made a ton of noise across the internets when some art of Maddie, the lovable Cthulhu-esque pony was discovered. This snowballed into the Kickstarter currently picking up steam and set to make this Horsie of the Pocalypse a force for destruction among your toy collections! We grabbed Klim Kozinevich to find out how it all began.

The Four Horsies of the Pocalypse

We don't often cover Kickstartery fundraisers, mainly because doing so opens the floodgates to mail from all points and all manner of projects from the ill conceived to slightly off putting. It's like attempting to feed a single crumb to a single bird in the park. You get my meaning. Today, we take a look at a project powered by proven professionals in the toy industry...so we know they are capable of taking it from A to Z with zero shortcuts and no chance of shady dealings. This one is for the Cthulhu fans, the horror fanatics, the collectors of the creepy cute and all those out there that look at My Little Pony and long to see them spit fire and bring about the end of all creation. Get ready for MADDIE, the mentor of the FOUR HORSIES OF THE POCALYPSE!! Be sure to watch the vid below....so damn fun...
