Campaign Success At 321% Of Funding Goal!
about 3 years ago – Mon, Feb 01, 2021 at 08:33:00 AM

Hey everyone!

Hold tight because this will be a long update! We have a lot to say!

We are floored by the level of support we received for our anime-themed miniature line! We honestly did not anticipate this flood of support, and the campaign surpassed our expectations. This campaign was purely a test to see if there was enough interest in this themed line of miniatures to devote more resources into making the line a reality, and it's safe to say the community has spoken!

Campaign Tiers and Pledge Management

We have been listening to your comments on the tiers for the campaign and the interest in using a pledge manager. Currently, we are exploring several different pledge managing options in response to your feedback. We have heard several suggestions and we will update the community as soon as we secure a pledge managing service that works for our needs. We promise to make this decision prompt so you can cater your order exactly how you need. Future campaigns will be structured with lessons learned from this first campaign. 

The Red Dragon campaign was created to test for interest and to create a fund to start creating more girls for the miniature line. Exploding our goal by 321% is a massive achievement that enables us to add the Harpy, Centaur, and Wolf girl to stand beside our Red Dragon and create the foundation for a much larger lineup.

Licensing and Website Information

Licensing agreement details are being fleshed out currently, so please direct all inquiries to our DMs. We are putting work into creating fair terms for potential partners, looking into options for expanding our girls internationally, and we are creating a website for further orders. If you missed updating your tier for the Wolf, or you have other reasons to pick up a girl after the campaign, look to our website to fulfill that void. We hope to have this website up and running in the next few days, so please stay tuned for updates! We are set to be very busy for a long time to come!

Delivery Expectations

The design process for each girl typically takes 2-3 months depending on how many iterations we go through in the concept and modeling phases. Add the time required to print out the physical miniatures for 2.25in and 28mm backers and we have a rough timeline of when to expect the delivery of each reward. We will be being very consistent with updates on development, delivery timelines, and new girls/campaigns. 

We will ship every order when the entire order is finished and ready. Orders for only the Red Dragon will be available sooner, while orders including other girls such as the Wolf will be shipped once all girls in the order are finished and ready. Our updates will make it clear where we are in development for each girl.

The Vampire and Lamia

You have made your voices heard when it comes to still wanting the Vampire and the Lamia girls, and we have no intention of throwing out their designs. For now, the plan is to create a new campaign in the future involving both girls and a few more as stretch goals. Our patrons on Patreon will get the chance to be involved in the brainstorming and design process for each girl, so consider joining us on Patreon!

Social Media and Discord

Several backers have mentioned wanting an official Discord server, and we are happy to oblige! Get updates about our company and girls, show us your collections and favorite memes, hang out with like-minded people, and maybe find a DnD group that can agree on a day to meet every week! Join us on our Discord here!

Once again, thank you so much for all of your support and feedback. It is humbling to see the activity and reception behind our little project, which is quickly looking to become a much larger endeavor.

Unlocked the Wolf Mini With Hours Left! Exploring Options to Purchase After Campaign Due To Time Constraints!
about 3 years ago – Sun, Jan 31, 2021 at 12:18:06 PM

Hey everyone!

Our little project has gained major momentum, and we've unlocked our THIRD stretch girl: The Wolf! The cocky little loli never had any doubts. As before, please give us your feedback on her current concept so we can finish up her design!

New Tier Options

We have added 4 new tier options: an option to get four 2.25in physical minis, an option to get four STL files, an option to get four 2.25in physical minis and their STL files, and the option to get four 28mm physical minis. When/If more girls are unlocked, we will follow suit with offering quantity options so you can choose which girls you want. We are down to the wire so we will try to respond quickly if new stretch goals are hit.

We are in the final hours, so we are exploring immediate options to make this newly hit stretch available for purchase after the Kickstarter campaign is over; since the community has rightfully unlocked her. Please don't feel that you missed her if the campaign ends before you can pledge for her. 

Early Discount Backers!!!

Switching your pledge to one of the new tiers will lose your discount, and we have not yet identified a suitable workaround for Kickstarter's lack of an addon system. Please add:

$5 to your pledge for each additional 28mm mini you would like,

$15 to your pledge for every additional 2.25in mini,

$25 for each additional STL file you would like access to.

At the end of the campaign we will reach out to each backer either directly or through a survey to receive your selections. We will keep the discount system in place as an apology for the inconvenience, and we will hopefully have a more effective solution in place in any future campaigns.

Final Hours

We are in the final hours of the campaign so act fast if you want to take your little wolf home. We are excited to offer more of the girls before the end of the campaign and will react as quickly as possible to stretches met. We've already heard some feedback on her concepts, but please jump in and give us your opinions on her and all of the girls in the comments section.

Monster girls who have not hit their stretch goals will be featured in future Kickstarter campaigns alongside the availability to pick up girls from previous campaigns on our Patreon. Please follow our Twitter page below for further announcements, as options like a store site are still being considered.

Once again, thank you so much for all of your support and feedback. It is humbling to see the activity and reception behind our little project, and we hope to add more and more girls to stand beside our Red Dragon. We will have more information in the campaign-end update.

Centaur Stretch Goal Hit! But Only 26 Hours Left!!
about 3 years ago – Sun, Jan 31, 2021 at 08:06:37 AM

Hey everyone!

Our little project has gained major momentum, and we've unlocked our second stretch girl: The Centaur! Our character artist is still hard at work finishing the Harpy's final design, so we will share updates on her and the Centaur girl as soon as we have concepts to show. Several backers have commented on their opinions for the Harpy's design, and a few have mentioned their favorites for the Centaur. Please continue to send us feedback while we continue the design phase!

New Tier Options

We have added 4 new tier options: an option to get three 2.25in minis, an option to get three STL files, an option to get 3 2.25in minis and their STL files, and the option to get three 28mm minis. When/If more girls are unlocked, we will follow suit with offering quantity options so you can choose which girls you want. We are down to the wire so we will try to respond quickly if new stretch goals are hit. 

Early Discount Backers!!!

Switching your pledge to one of the new tiers will lose your discount, and we have not yet identified a suitable workaround for Kickstarter's lack of an addon system. Please add:

$5 to your pledge for each additional 28mm mini you would like,

$15 to your pledge for every additional 2.25in mini,

At the end of the campaign we will reach out to each backer either directly or through a survey to receive your selections. We will keep the discount system in place as an apology for the inconvenience, and we will hopefully have a more effective solution in place in any future campaigns.

Final Day

We are in the final hours of the campaign so act fast if you want to scoop our cute centaur up. We are excited to offer more of the girls before the end of the campaign and will react as quickly as possible to stretches met. We've already heard some feedback on her concepts, but please jump in and give us your opinions on her and all of the girls in the comments section.

Monster girls who have not hit their stretch goals will be featured in future Kickstarter campaigns alongside the availability to pick up girls from previous campaigns on our Patreon.

We Unlocked Our First Stretch Girl, The Harpy! Plus, A 28mm Tier Option.
about 3 years ago – Thu, Jan 28, 2021 at 10:53:03 AM

Hey everyone!

Our little project has gained major momentum, and we've unlocked our first stretch girl: The Harpy! Her concept was already leaked in our last update so go check out her progress if you haven't already. We've heard feedback about how aerodynamic her shape is, so expect some tweaks to her design in the next progress update. 

New Tier Options

We have added 4 new tier options: an option to get two 2.5in minis, an option to get two STL files, and an option to get the Red Dragon 28mm mini, and the option to get two 28mm minis. When/If more girls are unlocked, we will follow suit with offering quantity options so you can choose which girls you want. 

Early Discount Backers

Switching your pledge to one of the new tiers will lose your discount, and we have not yet identified a suitable workaround for Kickstarter's lack of an addon system. Please add:

$5 to your pledge for each additional 28mm mini you would like, 

$15 to your pledge for every additional 2.25in mini,  

$25 for each additional STL file you would like access to.

At the end of the campaign we will reach out to each backer either directly or through a survey to receive your selections. We will keep the discount system in place as an apology for the inconvenience, and we will hopefully have a more effective solution in place in any future campaigns.

Final Days

We are in the final days of the campaign so act fast if you want to scoop our little harpy up. We are excited to offer more of the girls before the end of the campaign, with the centaur girl up next in the ring. We've already heard some feedback on her concepts, but please jump in and give us your opinions on her and all of the girls in the comments section. 

Patreon 

We have several questions about the Patreon page, how patrons benefits and prices will be set up, etc. One defining factor of the final setup is how many girls are unlocked through this campaign. Our girls go through a healthy 2 months of concepting and modeling before they are ready to come home with you, which puts us in an awkward position of what to offer patrons until we have several different girls finished and ready to offer. If you have further suggestions and requests for us, please let us know!

Once again, thank you so much for all of your support and feedback. It is humbling to see the activity and reception behind our little project, and we hope to add more and more girls to stand beside our Red Dragon.

100% Funded! A New 28mm Miniature And A Harpy Concept!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 02:21:02 AM

Hey everyone!

We are so excited to report that we hit 100% of our funding goal, halfway into our campaign! Thank you for all of your support and feedback throughout the campaign. We are continuously reviewing Backer Survey feedback and comments on the campaign.  The rest of the campaign will tell us how interested the community is in furthering the Anime-Themed Miniature line, starting with the push to unlocking the Harpy! 

Miniature Size

After reviewing the feedback from the Backer Survey, we have decided to make the standard miniature for each girl 2.25in. Offering larger sizes is still an option in discussion as our main concern is meeting the demand. Please watch for these project updates for more information and updates!

28mm Miniature Option

After receiving a lot of comments and feedback requesting a 28mm miniature option we have decided to open up the option for backers to purchase. The 28mm Red Dragon miniature is now offered for $5 per mini, which you can add to your pledge instead of changing your tier choice. 

Kickstarter isn't offering addon options at this time so we will need to be unconventional with how we approach adding the smaller mini to your order. We will work closely with all backers to ensure your extra pledge is recognized and you receive the number of minis that you order. If we reach our stretch goals, we will also reach out to determine which girl(s) you want 28mm miniatures of. 

Stretch Goal Tier Options

We've received several questions about how the stretch goal girls will work with tiers, and we want to take some time to clarify. Our goal is to give backers the power to pledge for whoever they want and we feel the best way to do so is to provide several different options. We will have a tier choice for each individual girl unlocked, and tier choices for 2 Minis, 3 Minis, etc. Tier choices involving multiple minis will be handled similarly to the 28mm miniatures in which we will reach out to you to clarify which girls you would like. 

Harpy Sneak Peek

To conclude our latest update, we have a sneak peek at the concept for our first Stretch Girl: the Harpy. Please let us know what you think of her design in the comment section!

Once again, thank you so much for all of your support and feedback. It is humbling to see the activity and reception behind our little project, and we hope to add more and more girls to stand beside our Red Dragon.
