October 5, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite is excited to announce a new collectible trading card series based on the 1980s toy sensation, Boglins®! Fans can add them to their collection right now by reserving them via Kickstarter.
The mischievous little creatures are leaving the swamp and invading our homes through the first-ever trading cards set! Fans of the original Boglins® have been loving this resurgence of a classic toy line that is back and bigger than ever. Last year Tim Clarke helped the Boglins® bust out of their cages and into our collections with brand new toys. Now Dynamite has worked hand-in-hand with Tim to develop an incredible throwback trading card set that delivers rare artwork, unique photography, and special chase cards and sets to your Boglins® collection.
Boglins® Trading Cards Series One is an amazing walk down the bog of yesteryear combined with beautiful photography of some of the RAREST Boglins® ever seen. This unique series is stuffed with wonderful Boglins® trivia, stories, and secrets from the creators themselves. Packed into this 120 card set are subsets to collect and amazing sights from the Bog that have been buried for decades.
The full set features 120 unique base cards, 9 Foil Card chase cards and 9 Old-Fashioned Card Stock chase cards! A random chase card is guaranteed one in every pack! Plus Box Topper Incentive Cards, one of six special behind the scenes production model cards and one hand-drawn full color sketch card guaranteed in every box! Boglins® fans can now collect trading cards representing their favorite characters and much more from this comprehensive collection of art and design that was taken straight from the Boglins® Studios archives. And some of the pledge levels include limited edition Boglins® toys with collector pins & exclusive trading cards!
Boglins® are a series of toy puppets co-created by Tim Clarke, Maureen Trotto, and Larry Mass and distributed by Mattel starting in 1987 and now available by TriAction Toys. They were released to coincide with the “creature craze” started by films such as Ghoulies, Critters, and Gremlins. Boglins® are goblin-themed hand puppets made of flexible rubber that you could make look like they were speaking and having facial expressions. The line consisted of small and large sizes and later in the line they included aquatic, Halloween, and baby themes. The original run went until 1994.
The Boglins® campaign is running from now until Midnight on Halloween. For more information or to back this Kickstarter, click here.
