As promised, HISSTANK.com has an update to the exciting new Kickstarter information from Cryptid Toys. Along with future plans and a “Who Is” Cryptid Toys we hope you enjoy the update.
With the “Army Alphas” line from Cryptid Toys, you can finally build YOUR army, YOUR way!
Cryptid Toys will deliver the intricately sculpted, super articulated 1/12 scale (6″) action figures that the collector community craves. Having been an action figure collector, customizer, and enthusiast for many years, I decided it was time to make the jump to an action figure manufacturer since toy companies were not producing the figures that many collectors have been clamoring for. Working with some of the most talented sculptors in the business who have not only worked on some of the most popular brands, but also with leaders in the industry, these figures will be brought to life from concepts to high quality action figures.

“Who Is” Cryptid Toys?
>Freelance Sculptor- Adrian DF Melton:
Adrian DF Melton has been digital sculpting for Eightball Studios (aka Steve Kiwus) since 2010, and has worked on projects for Mezco Toyz, DC, Diamond Select, JAKKS Pacific, Hasbro, and Dark Horse. He also works as a digital artist/character artist for Stillalive Studios, an indie game developer.
>Freelance Sculptor- Dan Mitchell:
Dan Mitchell has done freelance and in-house 3D sculpting work for Hasbro on some of their most prominent brands such as Marvel, Star Wars, Beyblade, Angry Birds, and Littlest Pet Shop. He has also worked on the very popular Marvel Legends Infinite line, doing sculpting on the Groot, Sabretooth, and Phoenix Five Cyclops figures, to name a few.
Cryptid Toys’ line of army builder action figures, called Army Alphas, will work fantastically as a supplemental line to all of your other 6” action figures collections. If you want to build expansive collections of various soldiers, SWAT officers, and skeletons, this line is for you! Each figure in the line will be packed with over 25 points of articulation (including rocker ankles!), will include a few weapons/accessories, and will have alternate heads or hands.
Debuting on Kickstarter in the months to come, this line will need the help of the entire collector community to become a reality. There will be several figures offered from the start and several others offered as stretch goals pending the campaign’s success. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to remain up to date and not miss out on the Kickstarter campaign in the coming months.
Stay Tuned!
Austin, Cryptid Toys
*********
While this is Cryptid Toys’ first foray into figure production, the sculptors have ample experience helping to create mass produced collectibles and a reputable factory has been selected that has manufactured toys for several big name companies. They are helping to create the physical prototypes and have been very helpful thus far.
The ninja sketch previewed is just a rough concept sketch that shows the concept art that is passed along to the sculptors. This is just used by the sculptors to block out a 3D model that will be the base for the final figure’s sculpt. The ninja figure will be a stretch goal in the Kickstarter campaign. The initial funding goal will be for different Soldier, SWAT, and Skeleton figures. If the amount pledged surpasses that initial funding goal and meets the stretch goal amount required for the Ninja figure to be produced, then he will go into production as well.
Thanks,
Austin Gentry

A new web page and facebook page have been created to help promote an upcoming kickstarter for Cryptid Toys. The new page show turns for an upcoming 6-inch Swat figure and 6-inch Ninja that looks just like a Storm Shadow we have already seen in the G.I. Joe line-up.
We have reached out to Cryptid Toys to find out more information on who is involved in the project and how their program will work. When we hear back from them we will be glad to pass that information along. Until then enjoy the speculation and images for their upcoming 6-inch action figure line.

No thanks.

If a 6in Joe line does become a reality (C'mon SDCC, let's see a 6in Snake-Eyes!) then I could see these maybe being a nice troop builder option for red ninja and generic Cobra troopers...
