Heads up! Whiskeyjack Toys have returned to Kickstarter, with a leaner, feedback driven campaign assortment that it hopes will help drive this round to its initial funding goals and beyond. Check out the details below –

We’re back! Just as we promised. 

We’ve returned with a leaner, smaller, more focused Kickstarter campaign – because you demanded it! In our previous attempt, we were trying to bring too many figures and extra equipment to everyone all at once. We’ve trimmed it back, focused on the early fan-favorites, and are ready to get these fully posable, 3 3/4″ o-ring ninjas made and in your hands! We’ve also addressed the postal system so that shipping fees are much more reasonable for both domestic and foreign buyers. 

Our figures have extra articulation added when compared to vintage 1:18th scale figures (such as The Corps!, American Defense, and … others.) namely in the neck and wrists, for extra posability and playability. They will display well with and easily interact with other contemporary 3 3/4″ brands (such as our friends at Strike Force Alpha!), but they’ll fit snugly into any 3 3/4″ or 1:18th scale action figure line. Our team has made many action figures before, so we’re well versed in the ups and downs of action figure production. Pledge with confidence knowing there are action figure veterans at the helm! 

But first, we need to start at the start. $35,000 gets our initial tooling made, and production underway. At $35,000, we can have Shinobi, Torashi, Obake, and Kyonshii ready to go!

Risks and challenges

While we have successfully manufactured many action figures before, there are always unforeseen limitations, complications, and set-backs in any manufacturing project. We are aware of, and have overcome most of these in the past, but we of course cannot guarantee we won’t face new hurdles or obstacles, which could push the project back from the projected timeline.
