  2. 88 signed A88 RED going up tonight at 8 PM EST, Friday, July 20th Please spread the word -
  3. The comic book looks great! The figures are awesome as well
  4. Hmm...I think it is actually the promo video on Kickstarter. I saw it linked through Facebook on a post dated yesterday but it may have been around awhile. It's the one with the baby in the car between Digger and Kevin Smith. Digger - Thanks for the detailed response. You've got my interest. Would it be possible to give a pledge that will give me all the Minimates including the red 88? Hells yes to a character in your series that is a Minimate/collector and enthusiast. That is the type of lunacy I love! You should have led with that nugget of info on MMMV. Just be sure your writer knows his Ma Hunkel from his Ultimate Avengers 2 Hulk variants or the MMMV will be livid. Thanks Jatta ! We've been working day and night, we literally didn't have time to notify as many industry peeople as I wanted before we went live. That's a good question that I can't answer right now. It gets revealed later in the story. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460783231/agent-88-the-web-series
  5. This 88 image is from a new photoshoot we did with ALLAN AMATO. He's awesome. We met randomly at a place called the Brewery in LA which is sort of an art colony where you need to be approved by a board to even be able to rent and the waiting list is enormous. He's the real deal, please check out his other work . He just did a photoshoot with Robert Rodriquez ,David Mack and many more . When I sent him the Kickstarter he just flipped out over how weird it all was and wanted in. Honored to have this level of talent on board. This will be in the HEAVY METAL -The ART of 88 book and it's the first time Ive posted it. I'd like to give you previews on the art. If you repost, please attach ALLAN AMATO's credit to the image.

  6. I would like to know this also. I would also like to know if there could be a package made that had all Minimates associated with this and nothing else. I'd be much more apt to pledge if I knew I was getting everything all at once. And if it had a gold Vorin included somehow I'm sure others would be more apt to pledge also. I'll get you a final list posted later today. Thanks so much for the support! I would like to know this also.

Also, This line can't cross over with anything DST is doing as far the Golden Vorin or anything else. 2 separate things entirely. I would like to know this also.

  7. Hey, Thanks for the kind words. No disrepect was taken, I have thick skin. You care about this, you vent and share here collectively. I get that. It's a good thing. When our Trek boards were in full swing at Art Asylum, I'll be honest with you I completely tuned out because I didnt get into the arts to please every single human on Earth. I was trying to breath new life into Trek with original designs and Alien Borgs and many people were not reacting well to it so we did ( for the most part ) what everyone seemed to want. My people were on the boards and tuning into what was desired by the fan base. Soon after TREK pretty much died on the vine at box office until the JJ reboot. A lot of angry next gen fans out there were not up for change that was so desperately needed. Box office on the new Star Trek reflects that. I do not understand why if something is available on the market that's obviously NOT for everyone in the first place that people would react as though they are getting slapped in the face. I have an old woman who kicks ass in a world full of odd ball assassins. It's not the norm...is it ? I don't expect the whole world to run to it but I'll be honest the reactions have been pretty awesome from industry people that we have something very different. This is what I'm all about. I want to work with amazing people and try new things. It's what I do best. I offered variations so that people had some choices. When we cash out ...if we cash out I'll make the whole run of everything and we'll take them out to promote in circles that would never ever know anything about MINIMATES. This is a good thing isnt it ? Does that somehow affect the fans negatively? Either i'm selling out like a cheap whore or i'm being too artsy or precious. It's a NO WIN so please understand this is my universe and we're going to try some things thanks to DST/ Art Asylum. I hope you like it and will help spread the word about my project. It would mean the world to me and to everyone who has worked so hard on this. You don't have to buy anything you don't want. No one has a gun to anyone's head. Artists create things and those creations are embraced by some and not others. I DO like limited runs of prints and art in general. I'm not ashamed of this. I LOVE the fine art world. They make 1 of 1 generally. Not everyone needs to own the same things in my eyes. This is not to make people feel left out of in the cold. I LOVE MARVEL but this is NOT MARVEL. It's an eclectic property that needs to be limited. I want the actors to have minimates of themselves from the film. They're psyched about it! That this little action arthouse series which we want to go to feature with after the series runs it's course would have a toyline ...of any kind ..IS FUCKING COOL! You only see this happen in Japan for the most part. I can't begin express how honored and stoked I am to be working with the entire cast and crew. It's very very difficult to walk into another industry with no track record and get anyone to follow you. Especially with very little or NO money. No one gives a shit about my art career in the film world, I'm starting again from absolute scratch. Working with Carlos Gallardo from El Maricahi and Desperado? This man is legend to me! Peter Mayhew, Ernie Reyes Jr , Joseph Gatt, Damion Poitier, Ryan Martin and the rest have become very good friends. They see me working my ass off and they have gone out of their way to support AGENT 88. Why? Because it's different ! Kay D'Arcy has some Tv and film credits, mostly London theatre work. She does Tai Chi,has an amazing face and has acting range like not many others in the world. No one else could be this character. She's amazing! Imagine how hard it is to sell a film that centers around an old woman with mad kill skills! I can't ...so I need to just go ahead and make it and show people. OK- I need to get back to work but thanks for listening and thanks even more for being passionate about Minimates. Life without passion SUCKS! I'll get everyone an updated list of the product as we didnt have time or resource to finish all the art with AA. There was madness surrounding comic con and they went out of their way for me as it was. We needed to go live before Comic Con so we'll be doing updates on the book and product. The A88 RED Minimate from SDCC. We gave out 400 in the gift bags at the VERSUS WORLD event, I gave a few to friends. I kept 88 of them. They're going up on the Kickstarter as cheap as I can make them. Please understand that we want you to monitor the campaign for updates. You get that info even with a 1 dollar pledge. On a side note, Minimates are going to have placement in the AGENT 88 series. Kyle Clark is a brilliant comedian/ actor who's doing a lot of work with the NERDIST. He plays Henry, one of the main characters who lives across the hall from 88 and he has the most mad MINIMATE collection around. I hope everyone embraces that. It's fun to see Minimates reach a broader audience. I don't profit from that. It's not my company anymore I just want to make it happen. If we put them up for 18 bucks each in a few days is that cool ? It's as low as we can spin and still have some affect on the 88 k goal. To answer the question about why it's 88k. We needed more along the lines of 100k to really get this off to the races but I wanted to stay themed at 88 because I like the branding. we'll make due with it. Films cost a lot of money to make. I want killer action and special effects and even though Kay D'Arcy is in amazing shape for 80, we need FX. I'm not asking her to jump off buildings with a wire rig. Even though she really wants to ! Please help me spread the word on this, I know money is tight all over right now. It's not just about money. If you all reposted and donated 1 dollar you'd make a difference and we'd have a web series and then hopefully a film with Minimates on it. Thanks for listening to the rant! You rock, DIG http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460783231/agent-88-the-web-series
  8. Dear Multiverse, I'm online to answer questions and hopefully have you join us with AGENT 88. I'll come here as often as I can to answer any questions or try to explain what it is we're doing with Agent 88 and some of the other new projects I'm launching. I did this in the hopes that Minimates will come to an even wider audience. The project was never intended to be funded entirely with Minimates. I do not profit from this. Our mark up is LAUGHABLE by the standards of any business model. ART ASYLUM is no longer mine but I'm proud to see what DST has done with it. We had an agreement that when the time came that I was creating new Intellectual Properties that I could have their support with MINIMATES and they've honored that now. I did this because I love MINIMATES and I want to share it, to increase the visabilty of a special brand that I created with Nelson Ascencio, Manny Jesus and the rest of the ART ASYLUM. The ART OF 88 incentive program in association with KEVIN EASTMAN ( creator of TMNT ) and HEAVY METAL magazine was leading the charge for funding and I wanted to include MINIMATES because I'm proud that it has continued on ..even after all the adversity it received during it's early years. Similar in many respects to some of the adversity I see right now. Will wonders never cease. Haters have so much time to hate...you must all be independently wealthy. God bless you. I want to thank the open minded for their support in helping our group make this 88 Kickstarter campaign a success. I'd also like the chance to enlighten those red in the face about what's going on. If anyone wants to speak to me directly for any reason email me your name and number to digger@digdeepentertainment.com and I'll call you back for as long as im able. Even if you want to bitch me out for trying to create change...thats fine. Peace love and respect, Digger
