In a bold (
and slightly ironic) move,
Augie P., a dedicated action figure collector from California, has launched a
GoFundMe campaign to raise money so that he can raise the funds to participate in the upcoming
Four Horsemen Studio Mythic Legion Beyithirr crowdfunding campaign. You read that right!
A crowdfunded campaign to fund a crowdfunded campaign. ToyFarce investigated...
With
Mythic Legions fans eagerly awaiting the launch of
Four Horsemen Studios' first-ever dragon,
Beyithirr, Augie realized he needed some outside financial support to secure his pledge. "
This is a historic moment in Mythic Legions collecting, and I just have to be a part of it" explained Augie on his
GoFundMe page. "
But dragons don’t come cheap, and my wallet is already recovering from the last few months of toy drops. So I figured, why not let the community help me get there?"
The campaign, titled "
Help Augie Get That Dragon!", features a detailed breakdown of expenses, including the base cost of
Beyithirr, extra funds for
shipping costs, and
stretch goals to add the
add-ons to his pledge. Augie also offers tiered incentives for backers, such as a personalized "
Thank you" selfie with
Beyithirr next to him once it has arrived, or a
dramatic unboxing video dedicated to top donors.
At the time of writing, the campaign has raised a whopping
$17, with 1 donation coming from Augie's family ("
Thanks, Auntie!"). Reactions within the collecting community have been mixed. Some see it as a clever and humorous way to engage with the hype surrounding
Beyithirr, while others question if Augie should just sell a few figures like a responsible adult...
Regardless of whether his crowdfunding attempt is successful, Augie remains optimistic: "
If people can raise money for potato salad, I think I’ve got a shot" he said. "Help me achieve my childhood dream of owning a dragon!"
The
Four Horsemen Studio Beyithirr crowdfunding campaign launches today. Will Augie’s own crowdfunding efforts take flight, or will his dreams crash and burn before takeoff?
Only time (and the generosity of strangers) will tell!
More news at 11:00... "
If 550 people give me $1, I will nickname the dragon after one of you!"
