À propos du projet
Your love for the undead and your love for Bacon combined to create the world’s first Bacon Zombie action plush figure collection. Sounds good? Smells even better!
Yes, these awesome looking plushies smell like delicious smoked bacon! Support this campaign and help us release these little delicious monsters onto the world. Get yours today & Join the Horde!
Streaky Bill, Moldy Marvin and Thomas the Lard are 3 of the Bacon Zombie characters in Bacon Nation (You can find the non-zombie Bacon Nation cast in the next section).
However the Bacon Nation universe is full of many other Bacon Zombie characters. You can help unlock those new plushies by pushing this campaign beyond certain stretch goals (see further down). You can even choose which characters get made into a plushie next!
BACON NATION started as a small animated Halloween joke back in 2014 for our KOKONUZZ Youtube Channel. But the more we thought about Zombies + Bacon the funnier we found it and the more sense it made!!!
So early 2016 we took that idea and created a concept for a new animated series: BACON NATION.
I would love to tell you that we are already producing it and it will be soon available in a major Network but the reality is that we are still a small Start-up, so the budget needed to make a TV quality animated series is waaaay out of our reach. Is that stopping us? NO WAY!!! We are currently pitching the concept to broadcasters and investors to hopefully put together the money needed to bring this story to life. And this campaign can make a huge difference to make that happen!
Find below more details about the Series, Concept and Characters:
In order to proceed with the production run of these little monsters we need to reach a certain minimum volume order. That is why we decided to open this project to the Kickstarter community. We love the Bacon Zombies and hope you will too and will help us bring them to life (undead life?). Thanks in advance!
Moreover, if we are able to develop a successful campaign, that will give us more resources and proof to try to convince investors to make Bacon Nation the animated series a reality and to continue growing the Bacon Nation project. That would be awesome!!!
* Design of the Zombie Containment Play Box is not final, subject to final revision.*
We have done as much as we could in advance:
- Fully approved Samples are ready: It took a lot of iterations (the first one looked like a potato, see below), but the final result is AWESOME! Not only do they look great but we found a great supplier for the Smoky Bacon scent, so they smell great too!
- We have already engaged factories and have the full costing details based on volume order.
- We have already engaged fulfillment company and have detailed logistic costs figured out.
So basically we are just missing finishing touches, mainly the final outer packing for premium deluxe set - we are waiting to know how many extra freebies we can include based on the additional rewards that you help unlock (hopefully many!!!)
Risques et défis
Like all Kickstarter projects, we will face certain risks and challenges in delivering this product at the quality we demand of ourselves. However, we have taken steps to make sure that we mitigate these risks as much as possible for our backers and community.
We have successfully finalized prototyping and have secured our supply chain. Our manufacturer is ready to help produce our Bacon Zombies at scale as soon as we meet our minimum order quantity.
Despite our careful planning, there are risks that are inherent to any project. We've identified and outlined the following key risks to our project below:
MANUFACTURING
There can always be things that happen on a factory line -- However thanks to our partnership with the Hedgehog Design team we have engaged a top quality plush factory that produces for some of the biggest brands in the world and complies with the most stringent Standards and Regulations.
SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOGISTICS
Related to the above, many campaigns experience challenges when scaling from prototyping to production. Since we have partnered with Hedgehog Design (a team that has an experience of developing hundreds of new toy products for top toy brands around the world) and since we have chosen a factory that has extensive experience in bringing toy products to market, we are confident that we can minimize any delays that may occur during this process.
Moreover, we have paid special attention to the Fulfillment logistics, engaging a variety of companies in the space (Hong Kong is probably the biggest logistic hub in the world) and making sure beforehand that our product and packaging will help our rewards to be fulfilled promptly and correctly.
Also, we will be regularly updating our campaign and are always reachable outside of KickStarter via our support at baconnation[at]kokonuzz[dot]com.
