This is our first pre-launch Launch Party post -- we're excited to try new stuff this time around! There was some concern that the recent AWS internet downage might force us to adjust our target launch date, but as of now, all systems appear green for launch TOMORROW MORNING AT 9AM PST!
Not only are we showcasing the brand new HARDCOVER OMNIBUS and super-exclusive Slipcased Omnibus, but we're also pulling back the curtains on the exclusive new RESIN STATUE and Chaiko's adaptation of another 14th century classic of Chinese literature, THE THREE KINGDOMS by Luo Guanzhong!
If you're one of the lucky onse who already own THE MONKEY KING from our previous campaign 3 years ago, before it sold out, these two exclusive new items may pique your interest...!
The statues will be individually 3D Printed for maximum detail. Sculptor David Arberas did an AMAZING job inspired by Chaiko's character design:
THE THREE KINGDOMS is Chaiko's next masterful adaptation, offering the first chapter in the political epic by Luo Guanzhong. If you liked Chaiko's approach to Journey to the West, you'll love THE THREE KINGDOMS, which focuses on the historic events that led to the end of the Han Dynasty, and the rise of the age of the Three Kingdoms. It is considered a masterpiece of East Asian literature, influential in Chinese culture and beyond, and is viewed as both a literary work of art and a guide to strategy and success. This first 64 page chapter introduces the larger tale, which he is continuing to work on.
The fun starts tomorrow! As usual, we have lots of ideas for cool stretch goals that we hope to unlock along the way.
