As you've heard over the last few weeks, Plastic Imagination is putting out a new line of warrior beast figures called Rise of the Beasts. Initially they were going to release one figure at a time, but in light of the massive success of October Toys' Kickstarter for O.M.F.G., they decided to put it up on Kickstarter and try to get all 4 figures released as the initial offering.
The 4 figures, as you have seen will be a lion, gorilla, horned toad and komodo dragon. The first three will have a leaner, more proportional body style, similar to He-Man, Thundercats, etc. The 4th figure, the komodo will be shorter and squatter, similar to Battle Beasts! All beasts will come with a weapon and in painted and unpainted formats, so you'll be able to get the best of both worlds. The leaner figures will come with 3 points of articulation (neck and shoulders) while the shorter figure will have only shoulder articulation.
There are a TON of different Reward Levels that you can commit to, so whether you want just a single painted figure, a full set of 8, 25 of the same figure or even a large run in your own paint scheme, the Kickstarter project will have it all!

The Kickstarter goal amount covers production, inspection and shipping. If this launch is as successful then we can all look forward to the exciting Series 2 of Rise of The Beasts!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here and I will answer them as they come.
As far as my involvement goes, LittleRubberGuys.com will initially be handling all marketing and distribution for the new line. And let me tell you, I am pretty damn stoked!
