I’m especially excited for this edition of Let’s Kickstart This!, our column spotlighting some of the most exciting crowdfunding campaigns in pop culture.

This time, two companies that have consistently impressed me with their creativity and quality have teamed up for something truly special. The Nacelle Company and Oni Press are bringing the world of the hit streaming series The Toys That Made Us to the printed page in a stunning collector’s edition.

“THE ART OF THE TOYS THAT MADE US – a dazzling two-volume set of masterfully designed, deeply researched art books capturing the instantly recognizable designs, artwork, advertising, concept art, and more from the brands behind Nacelle’s instantly iconic streaming sensation in deluxe, oversized (10″ x 12″) hardcover packages.”

As someone who has been an action figure fanatic for most of my life, this campaign immediately grabbed my attention. These oversized hardcover books celebrate some of the greatest toy lines ever created, including Masters of the Universe, Transformers, Hot Wheels, Biker Mice from Mars, and many more.

And that’s only the beginning.

The campaign also includes an incredible hardcover collection of Year One of the Nacelleverse from Oni Press, 1:1 sketched box action figures, exclusive figure stands, and plenty of other collectibles that make this campaign a dream for toy fans and collectors alike.

If there’s one thing I can say about both The Nacelle Company and Oni Press, it’s this: they deliver. Their track record speaks for itself, making this a campaign collectors can back with confidence.

I’ve already backed it myself, and if you’re a fan of toys, comics, or pop culture history, I highly recommend checking it out. Click HERE to support the campaign!
