Fresh Monkey Fiction and ToyOtter Toys have sent over an update on their retro-styled Longbox Heroes figures which are now available to pre-order on BigBadToyStore. With only a few days left for pre-orders, nearly every figure has met the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) to be funded for production. The final two figures are right on the cusp of funding, so if you want these figures to be made, this is your last chance.
The Rocketeer-based characters (Rocketeer, Black Phantom, Enemy Troopers) will be pre-order ONLY, and this will be your only chance to own these figures, so don’t wait. (Additional variant figures will be offered through BigBadToyStore for a limited time. Check website for character assortment and availability.)
Longbox Heroes Collection Wave 1 includes: Madman™ created by Mike Allred, The Goon™ created by Eric Powell, The Tick™ created by Ben Edlund, Mr. Monster™ created by Michael T. Gilbert, Cassie Hack™ created by Tim Seeley and Grendel™ created by Matt Wagner. The full wave assortment will include a free Airboy figure if all figures reach their MOQ. If some figures do not meet their MOQ, the assortment price will be adjusted on BBTS before you are charged.
Longbox Heroes Presents: The Rocketeer Collection includes: The Rocketeer™ created by Dave Stevens. Along with all-new characters The Black Phantom™* and the army-building Onslaught Trooper™* inspired by “The Rocketeer Jet-Pack Adventures” collection of stories! Each figure is offered individually as well as in a full wave assortment. This assortment is fully funded and will be produced! These figures will be made-to-order based on pre-orders ONLY. Check BBTS.com for additional army-building Trooper variants for sale.
Every figure in both collections is offered individually as well.*
Each figure has been designed and sculpted by toy industry veteran and historian Jason Geyer aka ToyOtter Toys in collaboration with Fresh Monkey Fiction. These retro-styled action figures have been meticulously created to have the look and feel of arguably the most popular form factor of classic superhero action figures of the 1980’s; it’s the love collectors have for the toys of their childhood – Kenner’s Super Powers and Mattel’s Secret Wars figures, among many more – that made this the perfect form factor to pay homage to with the fan-favorite indie comic characters that we all grew up with.
Pre-Orders for the The Longbox Heroes Collection opened at BigBadToyStore.com on July 5, 2022. You can follow the event on Fresh Monkey Fiction, which will close September 5, 2022.
