🔨 C27 CrowdForge: You Decide What Gets Made – And Save 20%!
🕑 Added 2025-02-20 03:33:02 +0000 UTCHeya everyone!
The Community Poll results are in! 🎉 The winning minis are locked for next month’s Patreon lineup!
But what about the characters that didn’t get picked?
💡 That’s where C27 CrowdForge comes in! It’s a new way for you to decide what gets made and then sent to our webstore afterwards. If 30 people commit, the mini gets sculpted—and you get it for 20% off!
How It Works:
1. Poll Runners-Up:
The minis that didn’t win the poll are listed in the #crowdforge channels on Discord2. 30 Backers = It Happens:
If 30 people react with a ✅ to the post, I’ll sculpt it!3. Only React If You’re In:
React only if you’re committed to funding it. Once we hit 30, I’ll send out payment links4. Save 20% – Just $10!
You’ll pay $10, instead of the future $12 webstore price. There may be cases where it's lower/higher depending on the complexity of the character and its base design5. Webstore Exclusive:
CrowdForged minis aren’t part of Patreon’s monthly releases and will only hit the webstore one month later for $12 or more6. Still Poll-Eligible:
Even if a character is now in CrowdForge, you can still suggest it for next month’s community poll as always if it doesn't reach 30 backers
💡 It’s like front-funding the mini you want. If the community backs it, it happens! If not, no payment is needed. This is also a patreon exclusive and not available for the public.
🚀 This list resets after each poll, so this is your last chance for these specific characters!
----------------------------------------------------------------
So for this round of CrowdForge picks, we have:
🦖 Gertrude & Old Lace
🛹 Night Thrasher
🌌 Annihilus
🍕 Lucky the Pizza Dog
🕸️ Olivia Octavius (Into the Spider-Verse)
⚙️ Doctor Doom (Ultimates)
💪 Juggernaut (Jed MacKay & Stegman Version)
🔮 Magik (Eldritch Armor – Marvel Rivals)
🛡️ Invincible (Guardians of the Globe)
🌿 Keyleth (Vox Machina – Critical Role)
⚔️ Doomslayer (Doom: The Dark Ages)
🚀 Hondo Ohnaka (Star Wars Clone Wars)
----------------------------------------------------------------
💬 What do you think? We’re just trying this out and would love to hear your thoughts!
👉 Check the #crowdforge channels on Discord, and drop a ✅ only if you're ready to fund it and see it get "forged" to life!
Let’s CrowdForge some epic minis together! 🛠️
Cheers,
Gen

this is a very veeery bad idea, not just makes that second most voted mini not able to win next time ,but makes it non elegible because is already done after a paywall so it would not be an valid option for next poll (if it does reach 30 backers)

C27 is offering the option for people who really want a model to get that model commissioned for $10 instead of a full commission fee from each person who wants a character sculpted. This is just a bunch of mini-crowdfunding campaigns with $300 funding goals. Want in on potential models? Get in on their crowdfunding. Don't want to, wait for retail. These models will be additional work on top of monthly releases. These are being sculpted for $300 each. I'd say $10 each is a steal for models that don't exist and never will. Why should you get them for free? At $300/model, you're asking for $3600 in extra work for this month's options. Who is paying for that?

These models won't even happen if 30 people don't want to commit to paying 80% of retail. If you're not willing to pay for the extra time, don't. C27 never said EVERYTHING in their webstore was already part of a monthly release. That might be where everything has come from before, but a web exclusive is a web exclusive, and none of you would get mad if it showed up in the store. You'd use the 30% discount code and you'd be happy. The people funding the potential extra models are willing to pay 80% of retail instead of 70% because they want the model(s) to exist in the first place. You'll get it at a better price if you really don't want to have it missing from your collection, but that better price comes with the huge potential that the model will never exist for you to purchase it with your discount in the first place.

Agree with this (except I joined some months ago).

Not a fan of this idea. I have been a patron for a number of years and don't like the idea that there is now models that will not be part of my subscription.

I don't love this... Part of the reason I support the patreon is to get the full set of stuff you release. Now... there'll be stuff I need to buy separately?
Alan Stark
Is there any option for "extra checkmarks"? People willing to pay in more to see a mini get sculpted?
