All Stretch Goals and Pricing Revealed!
over 5 years ago – Sun, Sep 29, 2019 at 06:45:23 PM

Based on recent feedback, I've decided to forego my original idea of revealing the stretch goals as they're unlocked and have now added a list of all of the stretch goals with pricing. I know many have expressed interest in pledging early for specific figures to help up reach the stretch goals sooner, and I think this is worth trying. So here now is the full stretch goal figures list!

 Wave 1  (estimated delivery Sept. 2020)

#1- Protoceratops andrewsi (Body: misc.1 )- Unlocked at $170,000

Price: $70 Add on: $73 (US), $75 (Int.)

#21  Torosaurus latus- unlocked at $465,000

Price: $130 Add on: $135 (US), $138 (Int.)

So that's the list! I realize that many won't be able to afford most of these right now, they get pretty pricey  considering their size and designs that I'm proposing. If funded, I expect to have more available later, but these will be lowest prices I can offer. 

This has also been added to the main campaign page. As items are unlocked, I'll be revealing more prototype images and package art to go along with upcoming stretch goals.

I hope this helps a lot of you better plan your pledges. As always, let me know if you have any questions- thanks!

Ceratopsian Head Sculpt Process/ Stretch Goal Previews
over 5 years ago – Fri, Sep 27, 2019 at 09:14:47 AM

As we continue to toward that main campaign goal, I wanted to share some sculpt photos with you all for some stretch goal figure prototypes that are all currently in the works. 

These heads were sculpted in traditional medium (CX5) by  Simon Panek on top of skulls digitally sculpted by Raul Ramos. After I work with Raul on the output size, the skull file would be sent to Simon for him to print and then sculpt on top of, assuring that the size and proportions were all in-sync.  I would then receive the skulls from Simon and add the jaw and neck articulation.

Spiclypeus

Kosmoceratops

You can find more of Simon's work here at Lone Trike Studio : Deviant Art and Etsy

And for more of Raul's work: Art Station and https://www.raulramosart.com/

That's all for now- until next time!
