Rebranding! :)
🕑 Added 2021-06-14 22:44:08 +0000 UTC
Heya Patreon fam. As you've noticed, I've rebranded our Patreon and Discord server to C27 Collectibles. I've wanted to do for quite some time and figured to take the leap of faith. Changing it to C27 makes it not limited to my efforts alone but makes it its own entity, it's own studio. I'm still the the sole owner of this entity at the moment but I believe taking this first step moves us into the right direction. Soon, as our Patreon number grows, I'll hire monthly artists and marketers. Oh and why C27? My earliest memory of me playing with toys, watching Biker Mice from Mars on the TV, or crafting wolverine claws or cyclops' visors with cellophane was growing up in our little apartment in Hong Kong - Flat C, 27th floor :)
There are 2 major changes that also come with the rebranding.
I've merged the Dark Arts tier with the Heroes and Villains tier. Although the Zbrush feedback and support is still included in the tier, I felt like it was unfair to you all since I haven't fulfilled the rest of the tiers rewards well. We can still share any Zbrush work you guys are doing and I'll gladly give feedback and support any queries you have. I've merged the Discord categories already and can continue to give feedback and support there. For those currently in the Dark Arts tier, feel free to drop your pledge to Heroes and Villains before July 1 :)
I need your help with the second major change. I'd like to enter into the miniatures world and would love get your insight on some of the miniatures board games or worlds you are already into. I have some idea on where I'd like to go with it but your insight would really help. I'm still doing figures for now, but if it's something we can transition to in the near future with your support, I believe it could help push this Patreon into greater heights. If we do transition into the miniature world, I'll still work on figures but I won't release monthly. I would work on these figures for a longer time which means better quality and not rushed into a months capabilities. When they're finished, I'll release it to the Heroes & Villains and New Gods. Miniatures will be released monthly.
Like mentioned above, I'd love to get your insight on the miniatures gaming you are already into, what you'd like to get, and where you stand with all this. Please help me understand better through this Google Form:

Thank you so much. I'm not able to do many things without all the support you've given. I just want to make this Patreon worth it for you all and keep it growing. You all are the best community I could ever have imagined when starting all this. You all have my utmost respect. Love you all.
Cheers,
Gen

I don't play board games, more of a statue guy. Niow I have seen figures fior board games that I would buy but they are done in a way that makes iof easy to rpint if I wanted to enlarge them.

It’s Gen’s patreon. Whatever Gen needs to do to grow it then so be it. Honestly not happy about the mini route as I don’t do mini’s. But I’ll give it a bit and see how it works out. If statues fall by the wayside completely then I’ll have to move on as well.

and with that, I'd love to see minis for Table top games that don't have minis.

I norm print figures from 6 in all the way to 12in tall and I despise printing busts.

I never print minis, always like new moves, but don't like this one too much 🤣 I always print figures between 200mm and 300mm tall

I would never complain about someone choosing a different path. I hope that whatever Gen does, he follows his passion. When you do that, money will come. Personally, I joined because I wanted 1/6th scale comics statues to print. There were a couple others, but I think Gen’s quality and detail stood out above the rest. He’s got a good product. I would never want to stand in the way of someone following what they’re passionate about though.

What scale do you normally print at? This kind of info can help Gen plan his expansion. IF he decides to do any comic minis, he could model them at a certain scale so that they look great at a mid-range size. That makes it a little easier to scale up and down without much fuss.

That's one thing I wouldn't mind seeing. New models for boardgames that have sub par minis out of the box. Betrayal at House on Haunted Hill is one main one.

Nothing is ever set in stone: so everyone that doesn't like the direction Gen is deciding to go in -- explain your reasoning and what you do like. He's literally asking for input from his patrons. If you never vote on suggestions, provide any input, or offer any actual real criticism with a solution of "what you would like to see" then does it really matter if you decide to go elsewhere? True change comes from discussion, not complaining 😂 In the end, Gen needs to provide for a family at home sooooo if only making a hundred people happy while excluding thousands of new patrons I can't blame him for wanting to switch it up a little. If he gets enough feedback maybe he can keep a tier for normal statues (with expansion in mind).

Statues are my thing (females mostly). I'll stick around and see how it plays out, but if statues are no longer a monthly thing, I may have to move on. I wish you the best, though. Can't please everyone, so do what you feel is best for you.

I'm into big figures ,or the occasional bust ,not really into minis
ronny wisdom
Unfortunately I don't play any games like that and I don't print miniatures I try to enlarge them as much as possible.
Jeekyl
Excited to see you expanding. Sad to hear you want to move in different direction. One of the games I’m playing now is Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. It needs better quality models than what’s currently on Thingiverse.
