S.U.C.K.L.E. is going for Stretch Goals….errr…Suck Goals on Kickstarter!
Suckadelic and DKE Toys soar past first Kickstarter goals
for S.U.C.K.L.E. Series 1 Mini Figures
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Last night DKE Toys sent out an update for the S.U.C.K.L.E. Kickstarter including new “Suck Goals” with more colors and more figures.
From the Kickstarter:
New “SUCK GOALS” added!!!
Update #2 · Jun 25, 2013
Thanks again to everyone who has supported the S.U.C.K.L.E. figure line so far. We have just cruised past our first Suck Goal of $18,000 which gave everyone who pledged $40 or more an additional exclusive GID set of 10 figures.
Now that we are in the black, what are we actually pushing for you ask? We want to add more figures to Series 1!!! That’s right we want to put this money to good use. We are not asking anyone to add more money than the stated pledges to get these additional figures but if we hit our goal everyone with a $40 or more pledge will have their 2 exclusive sets increased to 11, 12, 13, 14 and maybe 15 figures. So tell a friend. We can do this!!!!
To be clear, now that we have surpassed the $18,000 mark if you increase your pledge to $40 you will now get an ADDITIONAL exclusive set of all 10 S.U.C.K.L.E. figures in glow in the dark. So $40 gets you 3 sets of 10 in “flesh”, clear & GID. Clear and GID will only be made available here on Kickstarter. Also all the new Suck Goals will apply to pledges of $40 or more so please consider increasing your pledge if you haven’t already.
If we make our highest goal of $35,000 and add 5 more figures to both exclusive sets you will get 40 figures for $40!!!! Spread the word.
From the original press release: At San Diego Comic-Con 2012 DKE Toys debuted the first 5 sculpts of The Super Sucklord’s mini figure line, S.U.C.K.L.E. (Simply Unimportant Collectable Kitschy Little Eyesores). Sculpted by George Gaspar/October Toys.
The Super Sucklord and his brand Suckadelic have been making custom resin art “toys” for over 10 years. Classic vintage toys have always been a huge inspiration for his work. S.U.C.K.L.E. pays homage to the classic mid-eighties toy line M.U.S.C.L.E. by Mattel. The figures are roughly the same size and made similarly out of solid color injection molded PVC plastic. Each of the Suckadelic characters will be immortalized in the same mini wrestler style as the original M.U.S.C.L.E. figures and stand approximately 2 inches tall. If you are already a M.U.S.C.L.E. collector these figures should display perfectly with your vintage figures.
Since San Diego Comic-Con 2012, 5 new sculpts were created, bringing the total to 10 unique figures for SUCKLE Series 1.
The ten figures in Series 1 will include: Sucklord 66, Sucklord 43, Sucklord 16, Ass Wipe, Necromancer, Galactic Jerkbag, Ira Tyranusberg, Another Bitch, Vectar, and Gay Empire.
Through this Kickstarter DKE Toys and Suckadelic hope to fund the production line of these figures so that they can be made available to stores around the world and create the basis for a line that can continue to recreate ALL the characters in the Suckadelic universe.
KickStarter Reward levels start at $5 and go up to $1,166. Read all about it on the SUCKLE Kickstarter page and pledge up! Get everything from the Sucklord’s scorn and bitterness to the exclusive Kickstarter colorway (clear). Even if you don’t pledge, just go watch the video. You won’t be disappointed.
Pledge today through July 15th at 10pm PST!
