A while back I helped fund a Kickstarter campaign by my friend Wayne. Wayne and I met after his first Kickstarter campaign that didn’t quite hit the mark. We met at a Panera and talked about what it takes to get a Kickstarter campaign successfully funded. It was then that he showed me the prototype for Mo. Mo is the Modibot. Wayne created him via 3D printing at Shapeways. He got a community built around this fun little guy and then launched a fantastic Kickstarter campaign and made Mo for the masses a reality. I got a package of a bunch of Modibots and tons of accessories. I’ll be posting some photos of creations that I make with Mo.
Imagine being able to build an action figure and a line of accessories for that figure on your computer and have them printed on a 3D printer and sent to your home. Well, for the past year or so my friend Wayne Losey, a toy designer, has been experimenting with Shapeways and 3D printing of his character called Mo, the Modibot. He’s been creating accessories like shields, weapons, hats, armor and even more pieces for the figure. Now he’s started a Kickstarter campaign (hero.modibot.com) to get Mo into your hands.
So imagine getting a Mo figure. Suppose you want to have an accessory for Mo, you can look at all the pre-made pieces to print through Shapeways or if you know how you can even design your own pieces and have them printed. The possibilities for accessorizing are only limited to your own imagination. Take a look at the Kickstarter Video.
I funded the project I can’t wait to get my Modibot 5 Man action team. The campaign is less than two days old and it is already 1/4 funded. Let’s get Mo made! I hope that you also back the project.
