Hi everyone!

Just a quick follow up to the "Smoke Test" update -- the rest of the surveys have been sent!

Watch your email inboxes for your unique link from Backerkit. If you need help locating that link, email [email protected] and we'll get your survey link to you right away.

We aim to lock orders in March so that we can receive everything in our warehouse by May, with fullfillment in June or July.

Let us know if you have any questions!

THANKS!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick not to let everyone know that the smoke test surveys have been sent.  If you're not familiar with Backerkit, this is the stage at which ~5% of backer surveys are sent out as a subset to test the surveys for any questions or bugs. Assuming those surveys go smoothly, the rest of the surveys should go out this weekend!

We'll be sure to post another update shortly to let you know if/when those have all gone out, and where you can find yours.

If you have any questions, let us know!

Hey, everyone!

What an awesome conclusion to an awesome campaign! You kept the "Pledge Train" rolling for 17 minutes of overtime! Thank you!!!

Now that the campaign is over, we have the fun task of transferring everything over to Backerkit's Pledge Manager. We hope to have that done in the next two weeks, so watch these updates and look for survey emails around the 21st!

Have a great weekend, everyone! We know we sure will!

Hi everyone!

Not sure if you noticed, but you've collectively blown past the last stretch goal and unlocked the MONKEY KING Sticker Set!

Now, all physical pledges will include a wealth of bonus freebies, including: 

Plus, all hardcover Omnibuses will now include a red satin ribbon bookmark bound into the spine and Gold Foil Gilding on the page edges of all new hardcover Omnibuses (including slipcased copies)! These new Omnibuses will be very special (and limited, so act fast)!

We have 10 hours left (as of posting this update), so please spread the word in this final stretch to bring as many friends and family to the project! When these hardcovers are gone, they will not be reprinted!

Wow, we had some idea how popular Sun Wukong was (from our first campaign on Kickstarter in 2022), but you've proven that wasn't a fluke! ☺️

We've gotten so many inquiries and requests since that original (campaign-exclusive) hardcover and boxed set sold out (almost immediately during the campaign), it took a while for us to discuss how to address the demand. One thing we DIDN'T want to do was stomp on the exclusivity of that original campaign with a rude reprint -- those original backers (including many of you -- THANK YOU!) deserve the prestige of being an early supporter. The new Omnibus Edition will be equally limited and exclusive, but different enough (on the outside) to make it its own unique edition.

But we also wanted to offer something that return backers might find equally exciting, to supplement their initial pledge without having to buy yet another copy of something they already own. That's where the (original, exclusive) resin statue of Sun Wukong comes in!


Sculpted by David Arberas, who has done a TON of great sculpts for us (including the recent FRONTIER figures, SHIN ZERO Kaiju statue, and a majority of our PLANET OF THE APES RPG and CARBON GREY RPG minis), this one is going to be special. As you can see, the details are amazing, and a testament to David's skill... he only had a single-angle 2D drawing to base it on!

 
Chaiko has started an adaptation of another great classic of Chinese literature, based on THE THREE KINGDOMS by Luo Guangzhong! This is another epic tale that will take time to properly adapt, but we're thrilled to offer the first part as an exclusive to this campaign!

Before you feel the need to ask: YES, this part is self-contained, but the underlying tale is much bigger (much like epic Journey to the West).

In addition, we have all-new stretch goals planned, several of which have already been unlocked. So if you are a true completist, there will be plenty to bring you to this campaign, even if you've already supported the previous one!
