Fresh Monkey Fiction & ToyOtter Toys in collaboration with BigBadToyStore proudly present
THE LONGBOX HEROES COLLECTION
A retro styled 4.5” Comic Book Action Figures line.
All new for 2022!!! Independent toy makers take on independent comic book icons! The Longbox Heroes Collection™ is the toy line that fans have been waiting for and features a selection of action figures based on some of the biggest names in creator-owned comic books heroes (and villians) including: Madman™ created by Mike Allred, The Goon™ created by Eric Powell, The Tick™ created by Ben Edlund, Mr. Monster™ created by Michael T. Gilbert, Cassie Hack™ created by Tim Seeley, Grendel™ created by Matt Wagner, and The Rocketeer™ created by Dave Stevens. Along with all-new characters The Black Phantom™* and the army-building Onslaught Trooper™* inspired by “The Rocketeer Jet-Pack Adventures” collection of stories!
Each figure has been designed and sculpted by toy industry veteran and historian Jason Geyer aka ToyOtter Toys . These retro styled action figures have been uniquely created to have the look and feel of the classic action figures of the 1980’s, along with playable articulation fans expect and deserve.
The Longbox Heroes Collection is made possible through our retail partner BigBadToyStore as a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) Pre-Order item, which means we needed to reach a minimum amount of pre-orders to move these figures into production.

EVENT DETAILS
In order to create this new line of figures we hosting a special six week Longbox Heroes Crowdfunding Pre-order Event. Our goal is to collect a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of pre-orders so we can move forward on creating this amazing line of action figures.
Longbox Heroes is being offered in 2 unique collections.
Longbox Heroes Collection Wave 1 includes: Madman™ created by Mike Allred, The Goon™ created by Eric Powell, The Tick™ created by Ben Edlund, Mr. Monster™ created by Michael T. Gilbert, Cassie Hack™ created by Tim Seeley and Grendel™ created by Matt Wagner.
Each figure is offered individually as well as in a full wave assortment. The full wave assortment will include a free mystery figure if all figures reach their MOQ. If some figures do not meet their MOQ, the assortment price will be adjusted on BBTS before you are charged.
Longbox Heroes Presents: The Rocketeer Collection includes: The Rocketeer™ created by Dave Stevens. Along with all-new characters The Black Phantom™* and the army-building Onslaught Trooper™* inspired by “The Rocketeer Jet-Pack Adventures” collection of stories!
Each figure is offered individually as well as in a full wave assortment. If some figure do not meet their MOQ the assortment price will be adjusted on BBTS before you are charged. If all figures reach their MOQ we will unlock a Stretch Goal for another Rocketeer Onslaught army builder figure.
Each figure will need to reach a minimum pre-order number of 1500 pcs in order for it to move into production. You can monitor the progress below. Each figure counter will update every 48 hrs. Each figure has it’s own minimum, so if that figure does not reach it's minimum pre-order number within our pre-order window the figure will not move into production.
You only have until September 5th, 2022 to help fund this project — and BigBadToyStore is the only place when you can start to build your Longbox Heroes Collection. So don’t wait! Join us by pre-ordering today.

THANK YOU

We're very excited to finally be able to bring this fun and exciting project to light, and are super eager to begin manufacturing and get these figures in your hands. Of course, we won't be able to do this without YOUR support! But we’re not alone….
Besides having a major online retailer like BigBadToyStore (BBTS) as a partner we also have the help of our Project Manager Chris Gawrych who has over 15 years in the toy business in a variety of roles, including designer, sculptor, engineer, and project and production managers for both NECA and The Four Horsemen. In addition, Chris has been instrumental in providing valuable direction doe Fresh Monkey Fiction and support to new projects such as The Prisoner, Plunderlings and Tecco Toys.
We will be updating our social media frequently during this event, so make sure to follow us for all the updates and check back to this page often as we’ll be updating our totals every 48 hrs.
Please note: All the product images shown on the Event Page and BBTS listing are prototypes. We will strive to produce a finished product that meets or exceeds the quality of these approximations, but please understand that the final product is subject to change and may shift around both during and after the event.
