💥Sledgehog Paint Samples + Army Ant Progress Update!💥
28 days ago – Wed, Mar 04, 2026 at 02:19:18 PM

Greetings Backers!

I'm dropping in with some exciting visuals: here are both versions of the Sledgehog Factory Paint Samples!

Quick side note on the King Sledgehog Variant: I requested a set of accessories in a slightly darker ruby red hue for final consideration.

If you haven't secured yours yet, both the Classic and King variants are now available for pre-order right here:

Army Ant Quick Update:

The first test shots I received needed a few tweaks: the gun and knife accessories weren't fitting snugly in the hands, and the leg joints felt a bit loose.  

Good news—the factory has already addressed the leg joints and gun fitment! They're currently finalizing the knife adjustments, have already produced the updated test shots, and are just waiting on the revised knife accessories (which should be quick), then they'll come to me for final approval.

I'm expecting a much tighter ETA report in the coming weeks from the factory for when all finished products should land in the USA—I'll share that as soon as I have solid dates locked in!

As always, thank you so much for your incredible support, patience, and enthusiasm. This project wouldn't be happening without you. We're getting closer every day!

Sincerely,

💥Big Production Update💥

Hello Backers & Toy Friends!

Huge news on multiple fronts:

Sledgehog Tooling – 100% Complete! 

The final samples arrived, and they are absolutely glorious! You've seen some sneak peeks in the last update, but I'll be posting a full, detailed photo & Video review soon on our Instagram and in the Facebook Toy Collectors group. Stay tuned for close-ups and thoughts.

Exciting Collab Alert: Mutant Multiverse Shoe with Bull Airs! 

Treasure Monster Toys has partnered with the awesome folks at Bull Airs for a limited Mutant Multiverse-themed shoe! If you're into pop culture sneakers and custom kicks, check out their official pages and watch for the preorder drop (date TBA). These are going to be epic for collectors!

The Biggest Win: Army Ants Preliminary Tooling Complete!

  Just received the factory test shot photos—and they look magnificent! Everything is coming together beautifully.  (Photos posted below)

One minor tweak needed: The rifle and knife accessories are a bit loose in the hands. The factory is adjusting the steel molds to slightly widen the knife handle and rifle grip for a snugger, more secure fit.  

Enseng is shipping the 5 Army Ant test shots to me now for hands-on preliminary review.  

Note: Factories will be closed for Chinese New Year from February 6 to March 3. Once they reopen, they'll handle the accessory adjustments plus any other refinements based on my feedback from the incoming samples.  

We've cleared the toughest, most time-intensive hurdles in production! The CNY break adds about a month to timelines (standard for overseas manufacturing), but we're now in the golden stretch. I'll share a much tighter ETA for US arrival once we finalize the tweaks and I review the physical test shots.

Be sure to visit our website to preorder our awesome figures and products!

Happy New Year! 🎉

Happy New Year, Backers! 🎉

Hello everyone, Jonathon here from Treasure Monster Toys. First off, I want to wish you all a fantastic 2026 filled with epic adventures, mutant madness, and plenty of awesome toys in your collections!

We're kicking off the year with some exciting progress on production:

-Inferno's tooling is fully complete – (as previously shared) his 3 tool sets done and ready to rock!

-Sledgehog's tooling is now finished too – 4 tool sets for that guy!

-Army Ants tooling is charging ahead and will be wrapped up soon. This absolute behemoth requires 14 tool sets, so as you can imagine, it's taking a bit longer – but it's going to be worth the wait!

I'm thrilled to unbox and share the soon coming factory test shots for Sledgehog and Army Ant. Can't wait to get those in hand and show you the results!

As a special Happy New Year treat for our amazing backers, here's an exclusive first look at the inked cover for Mutant Multiverse #2, masterfully done by the incredibly talented artist Aaron Hazouri! His work captures that classic 90s vibe perfectly.

Thank you for this epic piece, Aaron!

As always, none of this would be possible without your incredible support. You folks are the real heroes making the Mutant Multiverse come to life – thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in this project and sticking with us. Here's to an amazing year ahead!

Stay tuned for more updates soon.
