Suckadelic and DKE Toys crush Kickstarter goals for S.U.C.K.L.E. Series 1 Mini Figures
and add 5 additional figures to the line including Suck Shark, Carrator, Karate Chump, Chop Suey,
and “Sad… Alone… Broken…” by Luke Chueh
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Last night DKE Toys sent out an update for the S.U.C.K.L.E. Kickstarter:
Update #9 · Jul 7, 2013
We are so close to our last “Suck Goal” that we have decided to share the 15th figure a little early. The 15th figure will be Luke Chueh’s “Sad… Alone… Broken…” figure from the 2012 Super Suck Up show. Each pledge of $40 or more will have a 15th figure added to their Kickstarter Exclusive Clear and GID sets. That is now a total of 40 figures for $40 and up pledges. We have a week left so this is all but guaranteed.
15th figure will be based on Luke Chueh’s “Sad… Alone… Broken…” from the 2012 Super Suck Up Show
To be clear, if you have already pledged or pledge now at least $40 you will now receive an ADDITIONAL exclusive set of all 15 S.U.C.K.L.E. figures in Glow In the Dark. So $40 gets you 2 sets of 15 figures each in Clear & Glow In the Dark + the original set of 10 in “flesh” for a total of 40 figures. Clear and GID will ONLY be made available through Kickstarter and the additional 5 “Suck Goal” figures are not currently available in any other colors. All the new “Suck Goals” apply to pledges of $40 or more, so please consider increasing your pledge if you haven’t already.
A note for Luke Chueh fans: a $40 pledge will get you both available “Sad… Alone… Broken…” figures.
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!
