Details

The Fall 2020 Toy Pizza Fundraiser focuses on two previously locked designs from the previous Action Figure of the Month Club 2020 in 2019. Second up is CroMega, a Barbarian with an additional accessories kit to be revealed. The initial funding required the $20,000 level for CroMega and an additional $5,000 to unlock the accessories. 3D Model Figure Design by Jordan Speer.

The general look of CroMega is an homage to the LJN Advanced Dungeons & Dragons line's canceled Valkeer figure. Valkeer would later be released by NECA in 2022.

Character History

Toy Pizza Cen-5 and CroMega Fundraiser

"Our extended family of Jesse D, Nicky and Jack over at Toy Pizza are rounding the corner on their new multi-figure fundraiser which wraps up this Monday, September 28th. The focus of this new project is split between a dynamic duo of 100% original characters, one a mechanical marvel forged from lawless cybernetic experimentation and the other a natural born warlord of entirely primal descent.

The aforementioned cyborg, Cen-5, has been part of Jesse D's cast of personal creations since he was a kid, and has traveled throughout his sketchbooks for decades. Featuring the signature eclectic design principles that all KOTS figures are now known for, the hulking Cen-5 even comes with a great mini figure D.O.L.S. "pilot" and reconfigurable arm blaster. This particular mecha Frankenstein also has some direct connections to one of our own in-house projects that will be surfacing early next year, so the more parts and styles that are unlocked the more build options we'll all get to build with.

Counterbalancing the metallic mutant is CroMega, which is easily one of the most unique designs Jesse D and his boys have come up with yet. Decked out in animal furs and bone laden leather armor, this Paleolithic Pariah rules over the dinozone known as Pangea Island, plotting from within the ancient cave of his ancestors against the unsuspecting denizens of the mainland. CroMega in his default form is already a beast to contend with, but his alternate forms are perhaps even more intriguing, particualry when he's wearing the cursed Trilomask.

Currently Cen-5 and his accessories have been fully funded, and CroMega is coming within striking distance. If you're into lawless character design, independent storytelling and completely unique action figures, maybe shoot over to the fundraiser, check out the prototypes and support our Glyos brethren at Toy Pizza."

Opportunity comes one day in the form of a reed-thin stranger. He promises Lord Dinox all of Clan Cro's land, if he helps squashed the weakened CroMega. Looks like he'll get his war after all...
