Toy-Ventures Indie Go-Go Campaign is Live!

[RSS]

My upcoming magazine Toy-Ventures is almost here!


The Toy-Ventures Indie Go-Go Fundraiser is now live.

it's a pretty basic campaign and I'll walk you through what i'm doing, there are three options:

• Kick in a buck- We'll thank you with some spooky Super Monsters Wall Paper

• Get a digital copy- Even though we're fans of print, we realize you may not be and well, you can still help make this happen by contributing.

• Physical Copy of Issue #1 with two collectible Super Monsters Buttons featuring the photography of our cover artist Corey LeChat. We are doing a limited run of buttons and these will not be offered again should we sell out.Stretch Goal:
  
  
  If we get to 1500 copies sold, I'll increase the page count by eight pages and add scans of the 1975 and 1974 AHI toy catalogs.
  Other Ways You Can Help
  
  Please share this campaign on your social media accounts, your toy groups, and with anyone you think might want to read Toy-Ventures Magazine. Getting the word out is the most important goal of this publication.
  
  It's really the most important thing right now, thank you for reading this and even being interested, I really appreciate it.

If I can get to 400 copies sold total, the magazine is going to add 40 pages plus cover and include AHI catalog pages.

Can you go back in to buy a second copy?

I had wanted to get a second copy, too, is there a way to add to an existing pledge?

PlaidStallion's Toy-Ventures Magazine, we've added a new perk. The Wholesale 10 pack bundle for retailers and toy dealers https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/p...935#/updates/5

We're in the final stretch!


Just a quick update, we're just finalizing the final layouts and doing another round of proofreading before I send it to the printer. My friend Corey jumped in to give some articles a second pass and well, it's glorious, see for your self.



This left me with some time to add new pages of content about the Action Apeman and Super Monster Bend 'Ems lines.

Last week the bonus Super Monster Buttons arrived and well, they're all kinds of awesome:



Despite the fact that Indie GoGo is ignoring me and not helping me get the funds (if you're reading this and work there, HELP!) I'm still going forward with production and hope to send the files into production this week.

The printer will also be shipping all US orders from their facility via Media Mail. I'll handle Canada and European orders from my end.

Yes, additional copies will be available after the fact via Plaidstallions and there will be wholesale options. I plan to submit the publication to Diamond Select and will also be posting to stores where you can buy a copy.

Thanks so much for supporting this publication, I hope to have it in your hands in a couple of weeks.

The next email you will get from me will be when it's available.

Cheers!
Brian
