This is a proposal to create, manufacture and distribute a series of NOUNish collectible figures with a unique style and unlimited utility possibilities.
WTF is the NOUNish friends project ?
A modular collectible physical toy series based on NOUNs. Uniquely crafted in a new look and style that will showcase the fact that “nounish” does not just mean “pixelated”. Unique packaging and interactive elements will make this series stand out above all other figures in this format.
STAGE 1 (DEVELOPMENT & PRE-PRODUCTION)
- Finalize sculptures (1 modular body, 7 heads, accessories & base stand)
- Create prototypes (1 set of 1st prints, 3 sets of paint masters / tooling patterns)
- Create paint masters (design colorways, tampo prints, 2 sets of samples & AI production files)
- Packaging design for individual boxes & display cartons & master cartons
Cost Estimates:
Design & sculpture: $9-12K (3-4 ETH)
Prototypes (12 figures / 6 heads / accessories x2): $11-14K (4 ETH)
Paint masters (12 figures / 6 heads / accessories x2): $9-14K (3-4 ETH)
Packaging design (templates, die lines, color callout for production): $4-6K (1-2 ETH)
TOTAL STAGE 1 ESTIMATED COSTS: 11 - 14 ETH
Klim and his team have been working on this project over the past 3 months and the final designs are fun, playful, modern and we feel represent NOUNs well in this funky new style. The sculpts are ready to go but we have gone as far as we can without help.
A much more robust description of the proposal dealing with production costs and beyond is here;
As always we will be building out in the open and will engage the community with regular updates and sharing opportunities.
