OMFG Series 2 Kickstarter (like M.U.S.C.L.E.)
 

Just wanted to spread the word on this, the Kickstarter for OMFG series 2 is going on here:
OMFG! Series 2 by George Gaspar — Kickstarter

Basically a $10 pledge will pre-order the regular flesh/pink colored set of series 2. And if you don't know about OMFG, it's in the style of M.U.S.C.L.E. etc, but all of the designs for the figures are done by different artists on the October Toys forums and then voted on by that community. In fact, for you creative types, submissions for Series 3 are going on right now:
OctoberToys.com • View topic - OMFG Series 3 - Design Submissions

Personally I can't wait to have like 30 different mini-figs done by 30 or so different artists.
My design & sculpt, Cry-Borg, got voted in for series 2, here's the original wax sculpt (a little under 2" tall):

Grats on Cry Borg!


This is a great toyline and everyone who like minifigures should support it. I own series one in at least 8 different colors so far.

hay bud, im already committed at the 2flesh/2black sets, cant wait to get them and start customizing :) i think for omfg series one ive painted around 7 complete sets :)

Damn dude me+ersico were just talking about this very thing today!!! I love your character,easily the best of the bunch for me,im gonna pledge today!!!

I'm going to pledge also, is there a way I can submit a design as well? It would be a dream come true for me to see a character I created when I was a kid in toy form.

u can submit OctoberToys.com • View topic - OMFG Series 3 - Design Submissions and eventually they will be voted on and then figures will be made


Lazeric, i would like to paint you a custom :) payment in way of figures is cool. a trade would e rad ..just a thought :)

Well im pledged,and it feels great to be helping bring these figures to reality!!!

I don't have a working computer at the moment and it seems like I need Photoshop to fit the image in a template, so i guess I can't really participate after all unfortunately :(

I'm sure someone can do it for you.

I'm working on some designs, I'll post them later

Yeah iv got a couple of ideas i might put in,im not sure when il get chance to get to a PC though!!!

Here's one of my submissions, I forgot to add the pit stains!

I also have my original ninja slug that I created when i was in 5th grade

Cool stuff! Glad this thread is getting some love over here! (And not just from people who are already a part of October Toys' forum - hey T16 and ersico!)
I believe the deadline for submissions is the end of Aug, so if you can get access to a computer by then you'll be all set.
I bet we can work something out for a trade ersico, if the kickstarter gets funded apparently I'll have some APs I'll need to figure out what to do with. ;)

very very cool. i think, though i may be wrong, you know clawfreak, jay, him and i do stuff together. alot. i have tons of series one sets i painted...prob close to 12 sets done so far :)

Thanks!

Shameless self promotion: I have 3 designs in there. #94 Coughin' Coffin and #96 Underbed are my original characters. Coughin' Coffin has been sculpted by Ed Gein. Underbed will be sculpted if he is selected. I also had a hand in designing #125 Ten-Can. The character concept was by Richard Oceans, I did the design drawing, and Ed Gein sculpted the prototype.
