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.

Happy Thanksgiving, amazing backers! 🦃🍁
Today we reflect and count our blessings, and honestly… you’re at the very top of the list.
Because of your belief, and your generosity Army Ant & The Mutant Multiverse is no longer just a dream — it’s becoming real, one step at a time. We’re so grateful to have each of you on this journey with us. You didn’t just fund a project; you became part of a little family that’s making something special together.
Wherever you are today — whether you’re surrounded by family, friends, good food, or just a quiet moment of your own — we hope your day is filled with warmth, laughter, and love.
Thank you for being the heart of everything we’re building. We can’t wait to get Army Ant, Inferno, and Sledgehog into your hands and see the smiles when you finally open that box.
From all of us on the team: thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wishing you the coziest, happiest Thanksgiving.
With so much gratitude,

💥💥October Update!💥💥

Greetings Backers!
October Update incoming! Following up from last month, the factory is hard at work in the background, continuing the tool cutting phase for Army Ant and Sledgehog. Inferno's tools are already complete, which puts us in a great spot. We're looking forward to the products landing in the USA in early 2026—fingers crossed for smooth sailing, but as always, it's wise to build in some extra time for any unexpected hiccups.
We had an amazing time at GraniteCon 2025 with our first-ever company vendors booth, showcasing samples of Army Ant, Inferno, and Sledgehog. By far my favorite part was meeting some of you—our awesome backers—in person. Your enthusiasm fuels everything we do!
Since we're in a bit of a waiting period with the factory before we get new product imagery, I wanted to share a slice-of-life exclusive first look just for our Kickstarter backers: Behold the Michael Dooney Mutant Multiverse #2 Villains cover!
Mutant Multiverse #2 is currently in development and will feature covers from an all-star cast of legendary artists!
If you missed out on Mutant Multiverse #1 (penciled by Jim Lawson with ink and color by Dan Berger), grab your copy at www.treasuremonstertoys.com—we're now shipping!
As always, thank you for being an amazing community and backing our project. Your support makes all of this possible, and we're grateful every day.
More to come, stay tuned!
Sincerely,
Jonathon House

💥September Big Update!💥

Greetings, Backers!
Big update time! We're now in the tool-cutting phase for Army Ant and Sledgehog! It has taken some time to work out the engineering quirks, but the most difficult milestones in the production process are now behind us.
The new estimated date for products arriving in the USA is mid-February. Bear in mind that this is contingent on everything going smoothly with no delays or unforeseen problems to solve. It's best to always allow additional wiggle room for expected timelines.
In other news, Treasure Monster Toys just had our first-ever vendor booth at Granite State Comicon! We had an absolute blast promoting the brand and showing off our factory-fine cuts and painted samples. My favorite part by far was that I got to meet some of our awesome Kickstarter backers in person!
That's the lowdown for now. As always, thank you so much for believing in our mission and supporting the world we're building. This is only possible because of you!
More to come, stay tuned!
Sincerely,
Jonathon House

Greetings, Backers!
I'm thrilled to share the August progress report with some exciting updates!
First off, I'm super excited to reveal images of the Inferno factory-painted samples! Here’s the Inferno Classic in a white shirt and the Inferno Variant in a neon green shirt.
I'm beyond pumped with how these turned out! If you haven’t preordered Inferno Classic or Inferno Variant yet, visit www.treasuremonstertoys.com to place your order today!
I'm also thrilled to announce a cool upgrade to the Army Ant design: the front turret is now rotational instead of stationary. Plus, check out the updated product packaging, including the Army Ant Box, Army Ant sticker sheet, and the Inferno and Sledgehog cardbacks, all featuring our newly revised Mutant Multiverse logo.
Big news for Mutant Multiverse Issue #2! Here's the all-star cover artist lineup reveal:
🚨 A.C. Farley
🚨 Michael Dooney
🚨 Dan Berger
🚨 Jim Lawson
🚨 Aaron Hazouri
🚨 Darwin MA
Issue #1 took us deep into the Chicago streets of the Mutant Underground, circa 1989. Issue #2 ramps up the action as our heroes fight to take down Shadow Line Industries once and for all!
📢 Haven’t grabbed Mutant Multiverse #1 yet? Don’t get left behind—order now at www.treasuremonstertoys.com!
Even more exciting news: Treasure Monster Toys will have its first-ever vendor booth at this year’s Granite State Comic Con, located in the expo hall near Artist Alley! I’ll be showcasing factory samples of Army Ant, Inferno, and Sledgehog, and selling copies of the Jim Lawson Mutant Multiverse Issue #1 cover. Plus, Jim Lawson will be at the event, so it’s a perfect chance to get your copy signed! If you’re attending, stop by the Mutant Multiverse booth—I’d love to meet you in person!
We’re making great progress with all three figures in the production queue, some are further along than others and as full-time CEO of Treasure Monster Toys, all products are receiving my full undivided attention. All three figures are being produced in lockstep and will ship together in a container from China to the USA. I’ll soon have an accurate timeline for when the products will land in the US.
I’ll keep you updated with the latest as we push forward with fulfilling and expanding the exciting products of the Mutant Multiverse. As always, thank you for making this dream a reality. I can’t wait for you to receive your products, and I’m excited to hopefully meet some of you at GraniteCon!
Sincerely,
Jonathon House
