Six figures unlocked in seven days- WOW! We've now funded the Sinoceratops zhuchengensis- congrats!
Pre-orders will be charged for Sinoceratops on Feb. 7th 2020. The next goal will unlock Utahceratops at $405,000!
I know many of you are wondering if you'll get to see the Utah, Penta, and Toro painted up before the surveys lockdown on Dec. 4th, and yes I do plan to show them all before the lockdown so you can make your final decisions. Remember that you can add to and change your pledge level on your survey at any time before the lockdown period, even after the survey has been submitted. And if you still haven't received your survey, please message me.
ToyCon NJ follow up
I want to give a big 'Thank You' to everyone who was able to make it out to ToyCon NJ in Parsippany, New Jersey this past weekend. It was a super fun time and a great pleasure to meet some of the project backers as well as plenty of potentially new fans of the line. I also want to give a big thanks to my NECA brethren, Stefan Folkins and Roger Fernandez for assisting me with the table- it was a great help. The show was a lot more low-key than SDCC and felt more like a hangout with like-minded friends. Very cool atmosphere.
Here are few photos of the table set up, courtesy of Stefan:
That'll do it for now- Utahceratops here we come!

The BackerKit funding is moving along at an exceptional pace and we've now unlocked another stretch goal figure- Albertaceratops nesmoi! Congrats everyone!
This weekend- Nov. 9th and 10th- I'll be set up at ToyConNJ in Parsippany, New Jersey. The entire cast of dinosaur prototypes from the Beasts of the Mesozoic: Ceratopsian Series will be on display at the show, and for the Wave 1 figures it will be a final farewell before they need to be shipped out to China. I'll also have some Raptor Series product there for sale as well as a limited supply of Beasts of the Mesozoic t-shirts. If you're in the area this weekend, stop by! For more info on ToyConNJ, click here.
Our next stretch goal is the Sinoceratops, unlocked at $390,000. Will we be adding this one to the collection soon? Seems very possible.
Xenoceratops 'Unlocked' on BackerKit! Plus, New BackerKit Stretch Goal Pledge Level Added!

Congrats, we have another new 'unlocked' announcement today for the Xenoceratops foremostensis!
Pre-orders will be charged for Xenoceratops on Feb. 7th 2020.
New Pledge Level added for Kickstarter surveys
For Kickstarter backers looking to pledge for just the BackerKit unlocked figures, I've added a new pledge level. Look for $1 - BackerKit Stretch Goal base shipping - (no figure included) and you can add-on any of the unlocked BackerKit stretch goals.
Add-ons for this pledge level will be updated as more stretch goals are reached.
The BackerKit is doing great so far and at the pace we're going, it won't be long before Albertaceratops is unlocked at $375,000!
Wendiceratops and Centrosaurus 'Unlocked' on BackerKit!
over 4 years ago
– Tue, Nov 05, 2019 at 07:10:32 PM
The BackerKit surveys have started off with a big first day! Between the surveys and the pre-order store, the Ceratopsian Series debut on BackerKit has been comparable to the first day on Kickstarter! As of this writing, our total funds are now at $332,730, with $60,023 new funds from BackerKit! For the most current funds tally, you can always find it by checking the Pre-order store.
With this new BackerKit format, our chances of unlocking all of the stretch goals has been greatly increased, case in point...
Wendiceratops and Centrosaurus are now UNLOCKED!
I'm so happy to see these two become available for everyone and I expect we'll be seeing more unlocks very soon!
As mentioned in yesterday's Kickstarter update- all items not funded on Kickstarter, such as Wendi and Centro here, will not be charged until Feb. 7th. Only Kickstarter funded items added to your survey will be charged on the survey lockdown date of Dec. 4th. If your Kickstarter credit covers all of your survey items, then no charge will be needed.
Paypal Update
Paypal has now been added as a payment option for the BackerKit surveys and Pre-order store. But please be warned- these payments willbechargedinstantly. The lockdown dates do not apply to Paypal payments.
I would especially discourage pre-ordering any 'locked' items using Paypal as they would have to be charged no matter the status of the item. This note has now been added to all of the non-Kickstarter funded items: 'PAYPAL IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THIS ITEM AS A NON-REFUNDABLE IMMEDIATE PAYMENT WILL BE REQUIRED.'
It's great that we now have Paypal as a payment option as many people have asked about it in the past, but I want to make sure everyone is clear on how it works. Credit cards can be charged later, but Paypal payments are collected at the time of submitting the order.
That'll do it for now. Will we unlock the Pachyrhinosaurus today? Very possible.
