The Transformers Compendium from Skybound is the most funded comics Kickstarter campaign ever , almost reach $ 4 million
Article Summary
When Skybound and Hasbro launch theirThe Transformers Compendium SetKickstarter campaignlast calendar month , I wonderedif they might surpass the all - time risible book funding record , one they set last year with theG.I. Joe : A Real American Hero Compendium Set .
Well , this week , The Transformersofficially became the most - funded comedian Kickstarter of all time , about to top $ 4 million with thirty hours to go . That number has for certain been buoy up by Skybound unlocking twenty - two stretch goals for backers including reprintsTransformersissues such as # 5 ( withMD Bright ’s Shockwave cover song ) and # 67 ( featuringJim Lee ’s Galvatron cover ) that collectors will likely be chasing well after this campaign ends , if this $ 120 salefora GI Joe : A veridical American Herocampaign exclusive variant is any indicant . However , that ’s not the only collector ’s detail – box set from the aforementionedGI Joe campaigns sell for over $ 500 , a nice - sized earnings for anyone who purchase this through the Kickstarter for $ 300 .
In fact , given that the G.I. Joe add - on trading cardsthemselves deal for nigh $ 40 , enthrone in multiple copies of these Skybound / Hasbro box sets and add - ons might be one of the few indisputable way for speculators and collectors to make over 100 % lucre in today ’s comic market place . And give Skybound even more money .
This is the latest big profits for the partnership between Skybound and Hasbro , which sold over 5 million units in less than two eld after many retailers and readers were sceptical , to say the least , aboutTransformersandGI Joein comic shops . But Robert Kirkman ’s visual sensation for The Energon Universe , which he launch with Void Rivals and continued with the said blade , along with a complete rebirth of pastime inLarry Hama ’s GI Joe : A tangible American Hero , has lay a newfangled standard for how comic book companies approach these legacy informatics , that have been have on by IDW forTeenage Mutant Nonja Turtles . But with 30 hours till the campaign ends on Wednesday at Noon Pacific ( pesky American time zone ) , only one question remains – how much more will this get ? Four – or five – million ? And how much will other folk on Kickstarter , just stress to set up $ 2000 , react ?
Well , The Transformers Compendium Kickstarter Campaign is live – for now – and we ’ll decidedly get the answer to our dubiousness very soon .
