Plunderlings 1/12 Goblin Pirate Action Figure Line Live on Kickstarter!

Posted on August 30, 2019 at 9:59 am by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News

plunderlings kickstarter

A new 1/12 action figure line is live on Kickstarter – Plunderlings!  These little guys are goblin pirates, looking like a cross between a goblin and Stitch.  Each are fully articulated with all the points modern 1/12 collectors desire.  The base model has minimal clothing, where additional characters expand on clothing and accessories as you move up the line.  It’s being developed by folks that have been in the industry for a while in different forms, along with an animation studio based in the Dominican Republic, something you don’t see every day.

The world of Plunderlings is developed Ricky Gluski and Andres Rodríguez with Lone Coconut, which is a creative, animation and visual effects studio based in the Dominican Republic. But we are first and foremost toy collectors and enthusiasts that for many years felt that we had an impish shaped hole in our collections. We loved many of the classic toy lines of the 80’s and wanted to bring that sense of excitement, adventure and passion to the project.  We have been collaborating with a number of industry veterans to bring this project to life – including Jason Bienvieu from Spero toys as a project advisor, Chris Gawrych who has worked with NECA and Four Horsemen Studios as our production coordinator.  Our figures are designed by the talented Seba Dom, accessories by GD Lake and hats modeled by Fabiano Carlos, sculptor for McFarlane Toys.

The goal is $65,000, and they already passed the half way mark 3 days in.  The line looks great and I think it will really shine once it hits production level.  The simplistic and colorful nature of the figures will work well with solid color plastic.  If you are interested in supporting the project, you can check it out here:

    How does something like this get that much backing so quickly? Not saying there's anything wrong with this project. Just wondering who this appeals to, they aren't realistic enough to go with most 1/12th scale stuff.

    I get your general question and I'm also sort of confused as to what collector vein they're appealing to...

    But whatevs...they've successfully tapped some sort of market. To their credit the figs are very well done, offer a good amount of variety, plenty of accessories, and an oddly high level of articulation. They look retail ready and put to shame a fair amount of things currently on the shelves. That said I'm not the target audience for this.

    That's possibly exactly WHY people are reacting. This doesn't look like anything else that's out there. It's not yet another "realistic" looking line of dark fantasy characters or soldiers or robots. Mind you, I love those things as much as the next guy, but there's no shortage of toy lines to fill that hole. I've never thrown in for a Kickstarter toyline, but this one is pulling me. Mostly because the blue one looks like the gritty reboot of Stitch.

    To anyone more familiar with navigating these Kickstarter waters, I'd be looking at waiting about a year after it's funded before actually getting my loot, yea? That's assuming they don't shit the bed.

    ^This. People like cute, and I've never seen a Kickstarter offering cute themed goblin things before. Plenty of generic military men, ninjas, monsters and the like, (most of which fail). But this is new and interesting and distinct so I can understand why its generating a lot of interest.

    Yes, that's generally the rule of thumb; one year from funding to doorstep. First timers can hit some snags causing delays of a few months to half a year. But seasoned kickstarters, like Four Horsemen, are usually under a year.

    Backerkits went out today!

    I'm stoked for these personally, they are different and unique, yet iconic enough to be goblins in any scenario. I love that they created the hatchlings too. That way instead of having a bag of unused accessories I will have more figures on display!

    I get that these are not for everyone, but I think they were successful because they didn't try to appeal to one group of collectors or try to supplement a specific already established brand. They instead gave a fun theme to the Goblin figures they created. I once wanted to get the goblin figures from Four Horsemen, but they are too detailed to fall into any other collection other than Mythic Legions. Plus I didn't want to have to purchase other figures just to justify picking up their goblins.
