Our pals over at The Fwoosh have decided it was time to step beyond writing and talking about toys and start making some! Following a year of amazing action figure Kickstarter campaigns including the ‘Four Horsemen’s Mythic Legions’ and Boss Fight Studios’ ‘Vitruvian HACKS’, the Fwoosh is entering the ring with a new 1:12 scale figure line.
Articulated Icons: The Feudal Series, is kicking off with a first series comprised of ninjas. Already prototyped by Gentle Giant Studios, this first series includes four figures and a modular, wall-mountable base pack. The Basic Ninja, available in black and red variations, will be offered as a single release or in discounted packs of three. The Deluxe Ninja, with the Ninja Master head sculpt, includes a unique belt and shins, as well as new weapons and accessories. The Deluxe Ninja will be available in both black and white variations and will also include one rooftop base. The modular wall-mountable base will also be available in bulk sets of five.

Kickstarter campaigns operate under an “all-or-nothing” model, so if Articulated Icons: The Feudal Series does not reach its funding goal at the end of the campaign period, it could be years before it makes it to market. Please consider pledging to help this project come to life; pledges can begin at as little as $1 and are designed to accommodate a variety of commitment levels. Depending on your pledge, you could be commanding an army of ninjas in the months to come!
Look for the Kickstarter to launch early September 2015 with shipping estimated to occur in the 2nd quarter of 2016 if successfully funded.
