Legends of the Ramayan Action Figures

Update #15 – We Did It Together! 🙏🏼
9 months ago – Mon, Aug 18, 2025 at 11:22:47 AM

We not only funded, but went beyond the goal and ended at $71,340. I can’t thank you all enough for making this dream a reality. Every single pledge, share, and word of encouragement made this happen, and I’m beyond grateful. 🙏🏼

A few important notes as we move forward(Please read!😂):

1. We’re a small but mighty group - 251 backers! If you have any questions or issues, please reach out to me directly. We’ll resolve everything together. 
2. Retailers backed us too - they helped push us over the finish line. That means they’ll receive their rewards as well, so don’t be surprised if you see some figures listed through their channels down the line.
3. BBTS Backstock - BBTS informed me they have a small amount of Wave 1 backstock from their own factory pickup that they’ll be listing on their site. I don’t control that inventory, but I wanted you all to know upfront. Some of their preorder customers also backed the Kickstarter, so they’ll be balancing both. BBTS was one of the earliest to support us, so I don’t want to hold them back from selling the few they may have left.
4. More for you - To make sure your pledges remain special, I’ll be adding a little something extra just for Kickstarter backers:
   1. If you’d like, I can sign your figure box or even add a small remarque (sketch).
   2. Every backer will also get a unique tarot card included with their order, a little token of thanks that won’t be available anywhere else. 
   3. And of course, all the Kickstarter-exclusive rewards (extra heads, Raqqamayze, etc.) remain only for you, our backers.
5. BackerKit is next - very soon you’ll get a survey to confirm your pledge, add extras if you’d like, and provide your shipping details. I’m still finalizing setup but it won’t be long.
6. Fulfillment starts soon - Wave 1 is already here in the U.S.! Kickstarter will collect pledge amounts over the next two weeks, then take about another week for processing. We’ll try to have BackerKit ready in parallel, so we can begin shipping Wave 1 as soon as possible.
7. Army Builder Meghnad -And finally, as a thank-you, we’ll be introducing the Army Builder Meghnad figure on BackerKit. It’ll be a simpler version with fewer accessories and a lower price, perfect if you’d like to customize or build ranks 

Once again, thank you for putting your trust in me and this project. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to get these figures into your hands. 🙏🏼

(Also I have been advised to sleep for two days straight to recover! 😂)

Update #14 - Funded!!! 🙏🏼
9 months ago – Sat, Aug 16, 2025 at 12:00:11 PM

We did it! Thanks to each and every one of you, Legends of the Ramayan is now officially funded. I’m deeply grateful for the incredible support you’ve shown throughout this campaign. From pledges to shares to words of encouragement, it’s all added up to make this dream a reality. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible. 

But we’re not done yet! There’s still one more day left in the campaign. And if by some miracle we hit $65k, we’ll unlock an additional version of Meghnad. Yes, one that comes with fewer accessories and at a lower price point, making it easier for more backers to bring him home. And at the same time giving customizers an opportunity to use one of our dhoti clad figures to create more warriors. Below is a quick mockup of what I am thinking. As this is not retail yet, I can offer this to backers for less.

So if you’ve been thinking about adding another figure, or if you know someone who’s been on the fence, now is the time. Every pledge in these last hours counts! All-ins, test shots, Raqqamayze, everything helps! 😅

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let’s bring this home strong. 🙏🏼

Update #13: How to Safely Add more rewards to Your Pledge (and a Little Something for “The Violated” Fans!)
9 months ago – Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 11:26:01 AM

Hey everyone,

We’ve had a few folks reach out because they wanted to add more figures, books, or accessories to their pledge but weren’t sure how to do it.

Here’s the safest way to edit your pledge and add more goodies:

How to Add to Your Pledge (Step-by-Step)

• Click “Manage Your Pledge” on our Kickstarter page.
• Click “Change Your Pledge” (don’t use “Cancel”, that will drop your reward completely).
• Select your original reward tier again. This is important -> if you skip this step, you could lose your early bird or original reward.
• Scroll down to Add-Ons and choose the extra figures, books, or packs you’d like.
• Save/Confirm your changes and Kickstarter will update your total.

Tip: You can add to your pledge as many times as you want before the campaign ends!

Special Note for Early Bird Backers
If you have an Early Bird pledge and want to add anything extra, you probably won’t see your original prices in the add-on menu.
Just message me here on Kickstarter with what you want, and I’ll make it work for you without affecting your early bird pricing.

For “The Violated” Fans:
If you’re grabbing The Violated books as part of your pledge (softcover or hardcover), you can let me know if you’d like:

• A signed copy 
• A personalized inscription (I love writing letters and making pen pals!)
• Or, for hardcover backers, a quick sketch inside 

Just message me here on Kickstarter after you’ve confirmed your pledge, and I’ll make it happen. 😄

We’re getting closer to our goal, and every add-on helps push us over the finish line, so, if there’s something you’ve been eyeing, now’s a great time to lock it in.
Thanks for all the incredible support so far! 🙏

Update #12: Retailer Tiers Are Live + Terrificon Recap
9 months ago – Tue, Aug 12, 2025 at 04:46:06 PM

Hey everyone,

I know things were a bit slow for the past few days, but we are not giving up. We are allowing retailers to join in too to help us get to the goal.

Two quick pieces of news for today:

1. Retailer Tiers Are Now Available
We’ve officially added special retailer tiers to the campaign:

• 10 × Wave 1 All-In for $900
• 20 × Wave 2 All-In for $7,000

If you know any retailers, toy stores, comic shops, or specialty sellers who might be interested, please share the campaign link with them. These prices are designed to make it worthwhile for stores while helping us push toward our goal. We are well aware that they will hold these figures in their stores/ warehouses and will pay greater shipping prices as well. Hence, we are trying to make it worth their while and get a little closer to our goal.

2. Terrificon Was a Blast!
We had a great time at Terrificon this weekend. We met a lot of passionate collectors, showed off Wave 1 in person, and had so many wonderful conversations. Seeing people’s reactions to the figures in hand was incredibly energizing.

We’ve got just 5 days left in the campaign, so every share, pledge, and conversation counts. If you’ve got a friend, store owner, or collector group who might be interested, now’s the perfect time to reach out. 

If you want to upgrade your pledges, please do that now. You can choose to pay over 3 months without any interest payments as well.

Let’s bring this home strong! 🙏

Update #11: Raqqamayze is LIVE!
9 months ago – Fri, Aug 08, 2025 at 05:37:36 AM

Hey everyone,

The wait is over and Raqqamayze is now officially live on the Kickstarter!
You can add him to your pledge just like any other figure.

All-In backers (Wave 1 + Wave 2) -> you don’t have to do a thing. Raqqamayze will be added to your pledge automatically, at no extra cost.

This towering vanara warrior was meant to be a $75K unlock, but I decided he deserved to be part of the line no matter what. Raqqamayze is a tribute to one of my favorite characters as well as my mentor Eric "Cornboy" Mayse. Check the Kickstarter Story page for new painted images of the figures. The paintmaster is done by Sherri Lynn Cook, the legendary painter of many of the Mythic Legions figures as well.

Head to the campaign page, edit your pledge, and add Raqqamayze if you want him alongside your other figures. 

PS: This is a Kickstarter exclusive and will be made in very limited numbers.

Let’s keep the momentum going in these final days!
