Three toy-related Kickstarter campaigns you should check out

I wanted to take a moment to help bring attention to three different toy-related campaigns currently in progress on Kickstarter. If you are unfamiliar with Kickstarter, it’s a site dedicated to helping folks realize their creative goals by collecting funds from “backers.” You can back any project on Kickstarter you wish, and usually donate any dollar amount to help out. Sometimes in return, you receive a little something for your donation. In these particular cases, you receive some cool toys.

Major Matt Mason- Mattel’s Man in Space: Do you want a comeback?

I’ve already posted twice about the Major Matt Mason display at Mattel’s booth from this year’s San Diego Comic Con (found HERE and HERE.)

It appears that the story does not end there! Mattel contacted me today (along with a few other sites, I believe) to ask for links to any posts and discussions happening about the Major Matt Mason toy line and display at SDCC.

SDCC 2012: Bandai Japan D-Arts Mega Man X

Bandai Japan had a terrific display set-up for their line of Mega Man X D-Arts figures. Notable in this display were figures of the villain Sigma, as well as a large mech suit for Mega Man to ride in!

There was no information posted on these two items, so I spoke with a rep at the Bandai Japan booth.

He explained that as of right now, both items are just prototypes. They are working on licensing for these, so they do hope to actually release them. But for now, they need to hear the fan response on these two items.

So, what do you think? Do you want a Sigma or Mech Suit for your D-Arts Mega Man X figures? If so, spread the word and make it heard!
