Chicken Fried Toys Dime Novel Legends 1:18th Action Figures

Created by Chicken Fried Toys, LLC

Welcome to the Backerkit for the the Dime Novel Legends, presented by Chicken Fried Toys. Working with Boss Fight Studio (control art/tampos/consulting) and Smalljoes.com (distribution), these 3.75 to 4 inch action figures are a "little" slice of the Old West. Our figures are fully articulated modern style versions of Iconic Western Heroes and Legends. Each figure features at minimum 17 points of articulation, with removable coats, vest, belts, weapons and hats! These characters are compatible and play alongside with many modern action figure lines such as Boss Fight Studio's own Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S., Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Marauder Task Force, Zombie Lab, Animal Warriors of the Kingdom and more! The lineup is slated to have 11 characters in it's initial offering. Look for more information on our Facebook page as we develop new and exciting offerings for series 1.5 and series 2! Yee-Haw!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

First reveal: Digital Details!
over 7 years ago – Sun, Oct 02, 2016 at 03:52:42 PM

We are planning to roll out pics of digital sculpt screen caps of different items from our work each day or two during the course of the KS campaign.  These will serve to both involve you in our process, and to educate with terms and images that are industry standard.

Today we'll look at a digitally sculpted screen cap called "turns" or "turnarounds" of one of the head sculpts or "portraits".  Images are done in grayscale to allow for more contrast in detail and to give a clearer image of what the final 3D printed part will look like in hand.  Each turn will have multiples angles of the same piece that might include front, back, side, top, and even isometric views of the object, in this case a portrait of the "All-IN!" exclusive Badlands Vigilante.

 

If you have any questions regarding this piece or of a more technical nature, feel free to ask here, and I'll get you an answer.  I hope you enjoy a peek inside the work done on our series 1 lineup!

Thank you for your support for our Kickstarter project!

Backers and others of your type!  ;) 

Please take a few moments and read through the FAQ section of the campaign.  There is information in there about how to make multiple pledges, combined shipping and a whole wealth of important stuff!  I know nobody likes to read these days, but it would be a great benefit to you to do so before making your pledge! 

Once again, thank you for your support and willingness to "Kick the Chicken"!  -CFT

PS-  Images of the digital head sculpt for armatures are going up momentarily, as well as the un-hatted head sculpt for at least one figure!  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Great first day, big start!

 Well, well...what do we have here?  A tender little fuzzy chicken with a bad attitude.  I think he needs to be KICKED!

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated so heavily on the first day!  Big steps were taken towards our initial funding goal (over 40%) with most of you opting for the "All-IN!" package for a total JUST under $50,000 before midnight last night (only about 16 hours into day 1)!  A great show of faith in this project and our plans going forward to be sure.

We have a long road to go ahead, but if you all just share a link to this campaign on your Facebook page, Twitter, and your other social media outlets we'll get there quicker than an eye blink.  The sticker above is yours to copy and paste anywhere you'd like just to let everyone know how you feel about the figures we are making!

I would like to challenge everyone here to push through the weekend, and see if we can't double yesterday's response and numbers by Monday night!  If we can stay anywhere close to this pace, we'll be through our initial funding goal, and on the way to stretch goal unlocks in just a couple of days, and that momentum moving forward is essential to bulling our way through them all!

Thank you for your support and interests!  We are humbled and happy with where we are at now, but eyes on the prize!  -CFT
