Kickstarter Alert – The Velara Warriors

Velara Warriors Artwork

My friend Adam of DadaRocks.com tipped me off to this new Kickstarter campaign for female action figures. These figures are called the Velara Warriors. The Velara Warriors were born out of the lack of female action figures available. A direct inspiration when Trisshala went to find a Rey action figure from Star Wars. How was there a lack of a Rey figure on the toy aisle after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. To not have a figure of the main character of the movie on the toy aisle was ludicrous. Rather than just get frustrated about it the sisters, Trisshala and Roobini, took action and decided to create a line of action figures for boys and girls in order to bridge the gap across the toy aisle.

The Velara Warriors will start with a line of female action figures but will add male action figures later. They may even be added sooner if the Stretch goals are achieved. There are 25 More days to go in this campaign and at this point the Velara Warriors are approximately 1/3 funded. The goal is $70,000 pound ($91,292 US).

In addition to the action figures there are also storybooks that give the story of each of the Velara Warriors. The action figures also have interchangeable parts so they can mix and match their armor and weapons and more.

From what I’ve seen on the Kickstarter program, this looks like an interesting set of toys. The artwork and story are very well done. Trisshala and Roobini obviously are fans of many things that I enjoy (Even Highlander). I wish them well in their endeavor and I will take a look at how I can personally support this campaign.

Finn and Rey from The Force Awakens Play Set for Disney Infinity 3.0
Photo-A-Day #3937

Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars The Force Awakens Play Set is now in my hands. I got to play that this afternoon as Andrew napped. Then while I played my most recent Smuggler’s Bounty box arrived from Funko. That is the Star Wars Themed Collector’s box filled with great Funko items like a t-shirt, pin, patch, exclusive Funko figure and more. So, for today’s vlog I unboxed both fun items. I also received my latest Loot Crate but I’m going to hold that until tomorrow’s vlog.

The Force Awakens Play Set comes with Rey and Finn and the game piece. You start off on Jakku and have to find your way off to continue through the galaxy. I played through most of Jakku and then got the Millennium Falcon and will be continuing the adventure later. This Play Set was sent to me for free and I’ll be picking up a Kylo Ren and a Poe Dameron figure myself to add to my collection as well as the power disc pack. I knew that I should have grabbed those guys when they were on buy one get one for 50% off at Target a few weeks ago. Oh well, live and learn. The Play Set is so much fun. The characters are great and I love the cut scenes that go with it. Flying the Millennium Falcon is quite a trip, too. Both characters are really fun. You can see more about them in today’s vlog.

The Smuggler’s Bounty box is something that I purchase myself. I do the same with the Marvel Collectors Club box. There is now a DC themed collectors box but I cannot be buying that as well. Where am I going to put all my Funko Pops? You can see everything from the Smuggler’s Bounty box in the vlog as well and I have a couple of photos of the items after the jump so read on.
