Alright, folks, let's get this thing funded. Erick Scarecrow and ESC-Toy are in the middle of a Kickstarter project to try to get their Hotline Miami - Mafia Thug 1/6th scale figure funded and produced (and onto our shelves - yes, I have backed it). From the video game Hotline Miami, the Mafia Thug figure is available beginning at the $85.00 funding level.
The Mafia set comes with five removable heads: Mafia Thug, Shotgun Mafia Thug, Charlie (Octopus), Graham (Rabbit), and Future Biker head. The figure also comes with four weapons/accessories - a fire axe, a switch blade, a kitchen knife, and a flask. He is also fitted with a white jacket and pants, blue button-up shirt, and black dress shoes.
Also, if you missed out on the Jacket figure from Hotline Miami, now is your chance to grab one. Plus, ESC-Toy is releasing a Camo Jacket figure set ($150-$175 funding levels) that is shown below.
This project will only be funded if it reaches its $75,000 goal by Saturday, October 28th 2017 at 12:59PM ET (it's currently funded at $32,499 - let's go!).
Remember...this is not a pre-order. There are many instances of crowd funded projects that have been funded never making good on their promised goods (everything I've backed from ESC-Toy has been delivered). So back all Kickstarters with caution.
ESC-Toy has released their all new 9DKP Micro Animated Series over at the ESC Toy Youtube Channel. "Immerse yourself in the world of 9DKP filled with Kats, Zombies, and Survivors told in a cute, funny, and retro way. Watch your favorite 9DKP characters come to life and find out what they are up to."
I checked out the first two episodes (there are 10 total episodes as of posting of this article). They've created the series with an early 90's retro video game style. Think Super NES style graphics. Based on the card game (which also now has an app), each episode runs about 3 minutes in length.
Since the 9DKP concept was created by Erick Scarecrow, I'm wondering how long before we see some toy series based on it. Personally, I feel a blind box line would be perfect.
