Ox Eye Media and Rip Rap Toys has announced that its new toy line, Cuddlee Kaiju, is coming to Kickstarter. Cuddlee Kaiju: Season One will launch in May with four original plush characters and a comic book ashcan.
The first season’s toys’ official character descriptions are as follows:
Wingnut -Ancient Name: Wingoru – Air Assault Kaiju-
For thousands of years, the dreaded monster formerly known as Wingoru commanded the sky. Domination was once a breeze for one of his hulking stature, but his days of conquest are over. These days, he longs for simpler satisfactions; usually a CUDDLEE and crushing snuggle will do.
Thrasher – Ancient Name: Thrakkor II – Punk Rock Kaiju-
Disenchanted by the capitalist and socio-political propaganda of classical Kaiju ideology, the former plains-dwelling conqueror abandons his family name and becomes Thrasher: a metalhead with a heart of gold.
Squid Vicious – Ancient Name: Squidormmu – Deep Sea Kaiju-
The dark of the ocean is a haunting place, with beasts more terrifying the deeper you explore. None more sinister than the creature formerly known as Squidormmu! With tentacles of death, and a hunger for the souls of sailors traversing the seven seas, Squid Vicious has found a more effective way of luring vessels into the deep dark beyond; SQUATS. The THICC-er the booty, the easier to LOOT-y….
Double Heather – Ancient Name: Dok Heeter – Inseparable Twin Kaiju-
Born from the expanding layers caused by earth’s tectonic shifts, Dok Heeter’s monumental frame is tough as rocks, but that doesn’t mean they’re not sensitive. The first and only Inseparable Twin Kaiju inexistence, Double Heather are more of a danger to each other than they are to the outside world.
More kaiju toys are expected to be announced during New York Comic Con 2022.
“The longevity of the Cuddlee Kaiju brand is our top priority, and we have tons of plans for not only this line, but also all those that follow. This campaign is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something very special,” says Garrett Gunn, chief brand officer of Ox Eye Media and Rip Rap Toys.
The Cuddlee Kaiju: Season One campaign will last for 30 days, and hopes to raise $39,900. Those who are interested in the new line can follow the campaign to be notified on launch.
