Dime Novel Legends “Hold yer’ Horses… Here comes the Cavalry” Kickstarter is LIVE now!
November 6, 2020

Chicken Fried Toys – Dime Novel Legends “Hold yer’ Horses…  Here comes the Cavalry” Kickstarter is LIVE now!

 

Like the proverbial bad penny, Chicken Fried Toys is back again, with more spicy authentic Western sauce, as you like it!  This time around, they are presenting their first Army-builder centric lineup:  The Cavalry, a new set of 1:18th scale Western action figures, as well as horses, gear, and even a stagecoach!

The initial funding goal will offer the “First Four” figures in this lineup:  Trooper Private, Buffalo Soldier NCO, Officer JG (Lt.), and Major General.

The Kickstarter Exclusive is a great step for CFT as it is the first named character as well as a direct Eagle Force crossover with Fresh Monkey Fiction, AND the first Native American figure offering.

Figure stretch goals include a Bugler, Buffalo Soldier Trooper, Veteran NCO, Mestre de Camp, and more.

 

Additional stretch goals unlock a variety of accessory sets intended to combine with figures in this campaign and allow more flexibility to backers.  These include a set of bladed weapons and gear, a set of new firearms, optional gear for belts and sashes, and a 10-pack of hats in colors not offered on the carded figures.

 

A recurring “Bonus Head Pack In” stretch goal unlocks a second 100% brand new, never before seen original sculpt portrait to an already unlocked figure.  You get 2 for 1 with each tier of this type that is reached.

 

Further stretch goals unlock a stable of mustang ponies to get your army to the battlefield and back.  Take a ride on Butterscotch the palomino, Blueberry the appaloosa, Chips the paint horse, and Cinnamon the red roan horse.  Each comes with a removable bedroll and saddlebags, as well as a canteen, lariat, and rifle sheathe.

 

A new addition to the campaign is the ability to simply add any single unlocked item to your preexisting pledge level.  This feature allows backers to add the KS Exclusive, other premium items, and many more offerings through a pull down menu to custom tailor their reward without the need for a Backerkit.

 

Reward packages include:

“My Personal Trooper” – choice of 1 single unlocked figure

“First Four” – 1 set of each of the first four figures available

“Full Charge!” – a nontraditional all in style package

“I’m the STAR of this SHOW!” – a high tier supporter package that includes a sculpt of YOU added to a figure in THIS campaign as well as other reward items

“Johnny’s Personal Army” – a troop builders dream! Pick 100 basic troopers of your choice (groups of 25, non officers only) from all the enlisted men unlocked in the KS

 

Keep an eye on the official Facebook page for ongoing updates throughout the campaign.  This Kickstarter will run until December 6th at 9PM Central.  Giddy up!

Daniel Pickett
AFi founder and Editor-In-Chief Daniel “Julius Marx” Pickett has been around toys his whole life. The first line he ever collected was Mego’s World’s Greatest Super Heroes line back in the 70s. He has been surrounded by collectables ever since. In 1999 he was confounded by a lack of information and news about some of his favorite toy lines he was collecting. Since he couldn’t find the information he decided to pursue it himself thinking other people might also be interested in the same news. He started writing a weekly column on the toy industry and action figure for a toy news site and in a years time he tripled the sites daily traffic with his updates, reviews and product features. He built relationships with every major toy manufacturer and many sculptors, painters and mold makers. He grew his hobby into a world wide expertise that the industry has embraced. In 2004 he teamed up with his toy buddy Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer and they created their own website www.ActionFigureInsider.com. Daniel has been quoted in both industry and mass media press outlets. Over the years Daniel and AFi have been sought out as experts in the field. Daniel was regularly featured on “Attack of the Show” on the G4 network as the primary contributor to their “Mint On Card” segment, and our front page has been linked to from USA Today’s “Pop Candy” Blog twice. Daniel’s content has also been featured on Bloomberg News, MSNBC.com, Time.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, CNN.com, AssociatedPress.com Wired.com, Fark.com, Boing-Boing, Gizmodo.com, Ain’t It Cool News, the Official Star Wars blog, Geekologie, G4, CNet and Toy Fare magazine, among many others. He has consulted on toy lines, books, documentaries and TV shows. But all of that really just sounds snooty and “tootin’ his own horn” – the long and short of it is that Daniel loves toys and he LOVES talking about them.
