I enjoy a good platform toy. I like the fact that it's one basic shape and it's up the artist to really bring it to life while making it unique. Mighty Jaxx has teamed up with Sket One to produce their first ever platform toy, Dripple. There are two things about this figure that I think make it successful. The first is a huge area in which to put designs. They're not limited by little stubby arms or legs or really harsh angles, so the art really has a chance to be unrestrained. The second is that the arms are all interchangeable and they will be making more accessories to go along with the figures, so you can mix and match them however you want. Not only does that give you options for display, but customizers will have more choices when making their own creations.
Now, they need your help to get this series into production. They are raising the funds right now over at http://drippletoy.com/ and it works the same way as Kickstarter. There are different levels of rewards for your contribution, including some hand made figures, complete sets, and even a three foot tall Dripple. They've actually just hit their main goal a few hours ago, but they still need help in hitting those stretch goals and unlocking more cool stuff.
