Kickstarter - OMFG! Series 1 by George Gaspar of October Toys



OMFG is short for Outlandish Mini Figure Guys. These are similar to Monsters in my pocket or M.U.S.C.L.E figures.

For the 1st Series there are 5 figures from the following:
  • Multiskull designed and sculpted by Charles Marsh (aka Monsterforge) from South Caroline
  •  Crawdad Kid designed and sculpted by Daniel Yu (aka Dory) from Singapore

These are pretty cool! I really like Stroll. To view more pictures or to see some of the pledge incentives click HERE. If you have any interest in getting on Series 2, check out the October Forum HERE for more info.
