Animal Warriors of the Kingdom by Spero Toys Kickstarter Is LIVE

Posted on June 1, 2016 at 12:35 pm by Joe Moore under General Toy News

Fans patiently awaiting the launch of the Animal Warriors of the Kingdom Kickstarter need to wait no longer. Spero Toys sent along word that their Kickstarter is now LIVE! You can jump on and get your pledge in right now by Clicking Here. Spero Toys is looking for a goal of $52,000. A pledge of $19 gets you at least one of the new Ape figures.

Spero Studios was founded by Jason Bienvenu and Brandon Gary, inspired by the 4-inch toy lines of the mid 70’s, 80’s & 90’s, Spero focuses on bringing back the fun and joy from these eras with high quality products featuring modern articulation and tons of accessories!
Our first offering is inspired by The Kingdom Comic book featuring the AWOTK from the first story arc.

THE FIGURES – Series one features the main protagonist, Pale, and his Spectral Variant as well as 4 army builder characters to fill out the ranks of your ape armies! Each figure features 18 points of articulation as well as weapons and accessories.

ADVENTURE ARMOR PALE -The young albino ape king sports his trademark Mohawk and red armor while wielding the ability to absorb his fallen enemies powers; however this gift comes at a great cost as their ghosts become attached to him and slowly drive him mad!

CHUNARIAN GUARDSMAN -These heroic soldiers make up the backbone of the Chunarian army and guard the walls of the sanctuary jungle city of Chuh-Nar from enemies of every kind.

CHUNARIAN ARCHER – Skilled marksmen keep a sharp eye out for possible threats to the city from high atop the protective outer walls.

HORRID SOLDIER – Feral Mandrill soldiers meant to overwhelm and decimate rival armies; what they lack in fighting skill they make up for with sheer numbers and unhinged savagery!

HORRID MARKSMAN – Only slightly less vile than the mandrills these chimps are deadly with a bow but can wield a blade when in a bind. These apes rain hate down on opposing armies as city gates give way to the push of the horrid!

SPECTRAL PALE (VARIANT FIGURE) – One of Pale’s powers allows him to phase into a specter-like form allowing him to sneak past imposing opponents or an overwhelming number of troops.

The figures are 1:18 scale figures similar to G.I. Joe, H.A.C.K.s, Star Wars, Marauders Task Force and Marvel Universe figures. The figures are sculpted and colored in the cartoon style of the comic book source material and have great crossover play potential for lines like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The figures feature 18 points of articulation: Ball-hinged Neck, ball hinged shoulders, ball hinged elbows, ball hinged wrist, swivel-hinged torso, ball & socket hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, and ball-hinged ankles.

That’s not all, they also have details on Weapons Sets, a graphic novel, Stretch Goals and more. Be sure to check them out. They’ve even launched a commercial, which you can see along with a ton of new pictures, after the jump.

    I think these look neat and fun^^. Maybe I will back their kickstarter depending on the price, especially the shipping price(hopefully, it will be under 20$). My only nitpick is they all have a corset:/. I mean, it doesn't have ribbons and lace, but it's still kinda weird.

    Jason says he's shooting for a $19 price for each for the KS campaign, but that may rise on the other end once the company is up & running full production.

    And corsets and girdles were warrior garments way back in the day in MidEast and African cultures, and often part of a warrior's under-armor garb (hence the phrase, 'gird your loins') up until gun weapons predominated and they were rendered useless. Then the French thankfully invented lingerie and terms for male war-clothing were appropriated for frilly underwear for ladies.

    FAQ are up and here is a visual representation of the ALL IN option. Great idea for those outside of the United States who want to team up and save on shipping!

    I'd like to support any company that makes poseable and good looking anthro animal figures, but... monkeys? To me, they are the least anthro species they could have chosen. And I dunno to whom these would appeal - not even to Planet of the Apes fans as they are monkeys, not apes.

    Let me know if they start making gnolls or lizardmen/women.

    Yeah, I unfortunately have to agree. I give no shits about monkey warrior figures. Sorry.

    Even though I've already expressed disinterest, I still hope they manage to pull this off. I never want to see someone fail in getting their endeavor off the ground, and despite how I may feel about monkeys, these figures nonetheless look like a quality product with some dynamic design work.

    Still, just under $20,000 in 33 hours is a tall order...hopefully they get a lot of last-second pledges.

    I wonder what happens though if they don't reach their goal, do they refund all the donors?

    07-08-2016, 12:59 PM

    I'm not 100% sure, but with Kickstarter I don't think any funds are collected unless they hit their goal.

    Correct. If the goal is not met, then you don't pay. Money isn't even collected until after the end of the Kickstarter campaign. I've backed a few Kickstarters so far. A few I missed out on I wish I had backed.

    Soooo... does Robert Bonobo come and kill this Mad King? Because he should.

    I didn't much care for the look of these figures, but it still makes me sad to see this and endeavors like it fail.
    I'm not opposed to the concept, I've bought awesome-looking bipedal birds and dragons from the Four Horsemen. If this line's quality came close to that, I'd have definitely bought in.

    For that to happen though, they'd probably need to be at the six inch scale.

    I haven't seen it mentioned yet but they have sold the prototypes from the first campaign and re-designed the figures. They plan on launching a new campaign May 1st.

    Here are the new designs.
    Pale - Adventure armor


    Baron Kah Lee and a Horrid brute


    Leon - Traveling Hero


    Chunari soldiers


    Horrid assassins


    Brutus and a Knight headsculpt


    Toxious - Stretch goal figure
