“Sasquatch Brigade”, the third artist merchandise set in the hairy ape-men series by George Coghill, launched on Kickstarter this week and surpassed the funding goal in under 24 hours. The campaign also exceeded 200% funding within the first 3 days of the campaign, meeting 6 of the 8 stretch goals (with more to be added).
“Sasquatch Brigade” joins the previous membership kit merchandise sets, “Bigfoot Patrol” and “Yeti Squad“, each of which contains an embroidered patch, membership card and a button/pin packaged with header cards.
The “Sasquatch Brigade” Kickstarter campaign offers rewards which include original artwork by the artist, including sketch cards and original pencil drawings. The campaign also offers stretch goals with additional Sasquatch-themed artist merchandise including stickers, window clings and additional embroidered patches.
While the Bigfoot Patrol and Yeti Squad campaigns are definitely for fun, Coghill is serious about the product and merchandise focus of these fundraisers. Looking to offer more opportunities for fans of his art to own some for themselves, these Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti “membership kits” are a way to do just that, and get some real-world experience at the same time.
Coghill will be releasing additional embroidered patch and membership kit merchandise in the future, with more paranormal themed creature like “Nessie” the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs/aliens, Cthulhu-themed art, as well as classic Halloween and horror-themed monster art and characters such as vampires, Frankenstein, werewolves, zombies and more.
The Kickstarter campaign runs until June 12, 2015.
