World War Hell Backerkit Now Open

Heads up! Grindhouse Toys has shared word that the backerkit for their World War Hell Kickstarter campaign is now open! Not only can backers confirm their selections, but can also add (3) new offerings to the mix (for a price, of course!). Here’s the scoop –

Hello Boils and Ghouls! 

Its your old pal Chris from Grindhouse Toys with another update on World War HELL! Most of you know that we launched the World War HELL kickstarter back on Friday the 13th last June. Well today is also Friday the 13th, so what do we have in store for all of you? How about backerkit surveys?! Not only will the surveys be going out as soon as I publish this update, but we are also offering 3 new products! The World War HELL Accessory PackThe Devil’s Rejects Trooper, and the highly requested Harbinger of DOOM as “Steamboat Willie”! But don’t take my word for it. Check out this week’s Grindhouse Toys ad!

Now remember, if you want to purchase the new products you will have to add them after you confirm your initial pledge. The Backerkit pledge manager is pretty straight forward and should be easy for all of you. If there are any issues do not hesitate to ask and I’ll get you all squared away. 

The preorder store will be opening at the same time as well, so tell your friends about it. Anyone who didn’t back the kickstarter can now get in on the World War HELL fun! There are no bulk all in packages though, as I wanted to keep those special for all of you who backed this project and brought it to life. 

We are just two weeks away from Toylanta in Duluth, Ga March 27-29https://www.toylanta.net/ We will be setup and showing off some new package prototypes. Plus I was informed by Chris, our production manager, that we will have 2 articulated check models to show off as well. The display at the show is going to be next level and you guys are just going to have to come see it to believe it. 

Things are moving at the factory, just not as fast as I would like. Once the check models arrive, I can send my notes and make sure everything is perfect. Then we can start cutting the metal tools. WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET YOU THESE FIGURES.

Here is a an amazing render of all of the spines matching up to create the beautiful battle mural. Artwork by Mark Pennington and rendered by Mark Gerwig

Seeing all of the packaging together for the first time really blew me away. These are going to be some serious shelf candy. 

Ok thats it for now. Hope to see a bunch of you at Toylanta! Don’t forget to check those emails and respond to the backerkit surveys!

Happy Friday the 13th and remember be kind and rewind!

I’m absolutely LOVING the VHS cases and seeing the render of all of the spines matching up to create a battle mural is just top notch!

If you haven’t, go, get your picks in or make some for the first time!
