Today I finalised the remaining components of HIDEOUS PLASTIC’s KickStarter campaign to get the book funded for publishing. This means I am getting ready to make the big launch! I am setting a day aside, tomorrow, to review the entire campaign and make any last minute changes.
The video and several minor costing elements that were missing until today were finally put into place. At this stage, everything is running smoothly and the campaign will be Continue reading
I like posting Progress Reports. I like letting people know how this Project is progressing. I think you like to know, too. I think they’re important.
The KickStarter campaign is rapidly nearing the point where it can be submitted to KickStarter admins for approval. It will then appear on their page soon thereafter. That submission will take place in about a week so we have roughly 7 days until the campaign is ready for approval. I anticipate having all the components in place by then and that the KS admins will be pleased to feature this campaign on their platform.
Aside from a small selection of items that require my attention, the most important component is the campaign video. It’s just folly to under-estimate how important a video is to a crowd sourcing campaign so that item is currently being assembled and looking good.
In the meantime, don’t forget we also have an instagram page. Check it out. There’s a growing selection of goodies being added by SiL just like this sweet little item:
More coming soon…

Right now, the video for the HIDEOUS PLASTIC KickStarter campaign is currently being cut and shaped into something presentable for the campaign when it is launched in early March.
Yeah. That’s me in the photo. Phil ‘Windebieste’ Wlodarczyk, surrounded by old Kenner Aliens and, well, other stuff needed to shoot the video. I’m sitting at the kitchen table and shooting the raw footage at the ‘Parrott Cage’. This is the home of Garry Parrott, who shot Continue reading
On my constant hunt to find Kenner ALIEN figures that can be restored I found this excellent choice. He’s a little worse for wear and a little beaten up but with some love and attention I will transform this item into something jaw dropping and special. I’ve done it many times before and I’m itching to do so again soon.
This mangy looking fellow is in a common condition for these vintage figures and potentially an excellent candidate for a full restoration. The critical pieces are present Continue reading
The image gallery on the hideousplastic Instagram page is slowly growing and the level of content is expanding at a steady rate. Go check it out.
My social networking skills are as useful as a square wheel on a pushbike. So the task of running this account has become the responsibility of long time fellow ALIEN enthusiast, Joe ‘SiL’ Guilar. Joe is a fellow Australian working in the video industry. He is a long Continue reading
One important task I’ve been engaging in lately is purchasing up loose parts for some of the currently incomplete figures in my collection.
This head is a fine example of what I’ve been chasing up, lately. I’ve mostly been targeting heads, arms and tails for purchase. Other occasional small mouth parts and shoulder spikes sometimes, too. These items have been missing from some of the figures in my collection and I need to get them into a complete state. Continue reading
As the post heading and graphic above indicates, it’s now time to start talking about the KickStarter campaign that will be launched in early March. The site banner has also been modified to reflect this latest development.
I’ve just about got all of my costings figured out now. I am just waiting on quotes for hardcover edition to land in my inbox. Other than that, all the costings are in place and I Continue reading
