We're down to the end on the Thirty #Kickstarter! It's funded but there are great stretch goals out there for the getting, if you SHARE and PLEDGE NOW!
You can now add a second figure, with the option to refund that part of the pledge if the stretches don't hit.

The "Thirty" o-ring action figure from Chad LaForce (3.75" 12POA). Thirty is part of the Undead Operator toy verse.

I hinted at this stuff already, but I felt it would be fun to actually write about it. The spark to reignite all this passion was an interview that @costello.bsky.social gave to @whatsonjoemind.bsky.social about the then-upcoming
#GIJoe #TTRPG.
