Dear Awesome Backers, 

Thank you for your incredible support in bringing Mutant Multiverse #1 to life! We’ve got some exciting updates to share as we push forward. 

What’s Done? - Fulfillment Complete! All digital and physical copies of Mutant Multiverse #1 have been delivered to you, our amazing backers. We hope you’re loving them! Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on social media. 

Inferno Paint Sample: The factory has confirmed that the paint sample for Inferno will be ready by August 5th. We’re thrilled to see this step moving forward and can’t wait to share a sneak peek once it’s ready. Here are photos of Inferno's molds straight from the factory 😎

What’s Happening Now? - Army Ant & Sledgehog: After several rounds of tweaks to the 3D files, we’re now ready to create the iron molds! We’re currently finalizing details with the factory so we can start cutting steel. This is a big milestone, and we’re excited to see these characters take shape. 

What’s Next? We’re working closely with the factory to lock in production timelines. We’ll update you soon with the new expected date for when everything will land in the USA. Stay tuned for more details, including progress on the molds and any visuals we can share! 

Thank You! Your support and patience are what keep this project buzzing. We’re so grateful for your belief in Army Ant and the Mutant Multiverse. If you have any questions or just want to geek out about the project, drop us a comment or message. 

More updates are coming soon! 

With gratitude,

💥June Update💥

Greetings, Backers!

I'm excited to announce that I received the replacement order for the Mutant Multiverse #1 comics a few days ago, and I'm now processing orders!

Each comic will be shipped in a protective sleeve with a backing board. Be on the lookout this week for your tracking number through the BackerKit pledge manager!

I'm also working closely with the factory on every detail of the production progress for Army Ant, Inferno, and Sledgehog. We're about three months away from the original estimated ship date of September. We've spent a great deal of time refining the design and functionality of these figures with the factory to ensure an amazing final product.

It's worth noting that September is looking very tight in the overarching timeline, but I will keep everyone updated with the latest news as we press forward to deliver amazing products and service!

I'm also excited to announce that Treasure Monster Toys has joined the HobbyDB Official Archive Database, the world’s largest collectibles database! Check it out!

over 1 year ago – Mon, Jun 02, 2025 at 11:50:43 AM

Happy Monday Backers!

I'm here to let you know the Mutant Multiverse #1 Digital Edition Comic has been deployed! 

For those of you receiving this reward the download link can be found at the email address associated with your Kickstarter/Backerkit account. 

As stated in the previous update I'll be receiving the replacement order for the printed comics in about 7 to 10 days and will begin shipping immediately.

The amount of passion and hard work that has gone into making this book is indescribable. I truly hope you all love it!

Thanks,

Army Ant Fine Cut Samples!!!

Behold the Army Ant Fine Cut Samples! 🔥

The artistry poured into crafting a toy like Army Ant, with its incredible scale, detail, and complexity, is truly awe-inspiring. I'm thrilled beyond measure with its progress—it's shaping up to be a genuine masterpiece!

Its also something of a bitter sweet moment to behold this beauty with the recent passing of Army Ant's creator and sculptor David Arshawsky. Rest in peace. Your legacy lives on 🎨

We're now down to the last few details before the iron molds and tools are milled! These details primarily have to do with the seat assembly connection to the body. The goal is to make the connection type similar to the Mega Mutant Needlenose so that it's detachable but also has a snug fit when assembled. More to come soon!

As always I greatly appreciate you all and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Thanks,

Jonathon 

Comic Update!
over 1 year ago – Thu, May 29, 2025 at 07:57:08 PM

The books arrived, and they look absolutely stunning! 

However, we did notice a minor quirk called page creep, which is pretty common in thicker books. It slightly narrows the borders toward the middle pages, but doesn’t affect the artwork or the overall awesomeness of the books. That said, I want the sold-out Limited Edition books to be absolutely perfect. 

After discussing with the print house owner, they’re replacing all Limited Edition covers and a large portion of the standard ones, with a rush order expected in about 10 days. 

I was eager to start shipping this Monday, but I’d rather delay slightly to ensure you get the best quality—especially for our early supporters who snagged the Limited Editions. 

Thank you for your patience! 

Look out for the digital edition dropping Sunday/Monday. 

As always, I’m so grateful for your support and hope you have an awesome weekend!
