DIY Spray Can X Patrick Wong

Patrick Wong never disappoints! Here is what he made of the DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy from www.DiscordiaCultureShop.com

We made this platform toy and didn't recognize it at first! And this is GAME ON CHALLENGE TIME! We dare other Custom Artists to show him up and do better. And so it begins...

DIY BOXCAT - The BOX

 

 

DIY BOXCAT [Kickstarter HERE and HERE] is under factory production, but we get our boxes made separately from the toys here in the USA in advance. And they have arrived! 

This time we designed the box in-house at Discordia Merchandising. Keeping it simple, with a clean straight forward design that puts all the attention where it belongs, on the toy itself. The front and back feature nothing but DIY BOXCAT.

 

An alternate Space Saving panel on the side presents the toy with Rato Kim's name prominently displayed in bright red for emphasis, on what is largely a black and white box.

The other side panel lists all the details, and specs, including the copyright notice in the Artists Name, not ours. This is because Discordia Merchandising maintains no rights to any Artists Intellectual Property during the course of our production deals.

 

Our Corporate Sigil is again displayed on top keeping our products quickly identifiable and to maintain how proud we are to represent our Creatives and show how confident we are with the quality of the goods we develop. We hope this symbol comes to represent a trust and integrity that collectors and Custom Artists will recognize and respect.

And just as we did on the box for DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy, we added this special message to the tuck flap. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT ARTISTS.

HOW TO - KICKSTARTER TIPS - by Discordia Merchandising

Running a Kickstarter was fun. The DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy was a success. We made goal in 9 days and went well over goal by the end of 30 days. We at Discordia Merchandising did a lot of research to prepare for our first Kickstarter project, and still ended up picking up a few tricks in the process. Here is a few things we learned.

Tips:

1. Study other Projects. Learn from others mistakes. Figure out what they did wrong, and avoid making their errors. Do your research. Download the KS App and watch those Ending Soon Projects, as well as Newest Projects for the Dos and Dont's.

2. Pay for as much of the preliminary expenses as possible. Don't expect Supporters to put down cash for something you won't invest in yourself. This will also likely put your item into production before your KS project even begins and speed up the fulfillment of your items to Supporters. Being able to provide the project items to Supporters in weeks instead of months or even a year or more later is a much better look. A Pre-Order Kickstarter is much more appealing to potential supporters.

3. Don't bill your Supporters for your production costs. Just let them pre-order the product alone. See #2. Sure MOST KS projects do exactly that, and does that make it ok? Not really. Any business writes off their expenses on their taxes. If you run a KS and get the public to give you those funds, that's not investment any more, that's income! If you write that off as anything else, that is technically tax fraud. And in the case of Supporters funding your project, be it Music, Toys, etc. that basically makes those Supporters your Producers and they technically own your production and the rights to it. Ask any Music Producer who owns Studio Recordings.

4. Offer Double, Triple, and Quadruple the items! Offer Wholesale! Supporters will likely want more than one of an item. Will want extras, for gifts to friends. Will want to stock your product in their shops and test sales. This will spawn future Wholesale orders. This is way better than expecting Supporters to make a pledge and then double it or triple it and message you about the extra items. And when they do go about doing just that, you will miss out on shipping costs for those additionals that will come out of your pocket in the end.

5. Don't count on the KS Community alone to make your project happen. If you don't have a pre-existing network of Supporters of your own, on social media, blog, or email list, you will fail! Around 50% of our Supporter base was KS Community, the other half we drew in from across the web by all those other means. Without our own pull, we would have gotten no where at all.

6. Participate in the KS Community. Take the time to Sign Up, Download the App, Connect your Facebook, and Follow other KS Community Members and projects in advance. Years in advance if possible. Support other projects, as much as you can, in advance as well. Other KS Community Members will get notifications of your support and take extra note of your project launch because of it. Give and Support. No one likes a leech.

7. Make your Goal as low as possible. Better to have a small success than a huge failure. We have seen many other projects asking for $15,000 and getting to $10,000, asking for $175,000 and getting to $100,000. Do your best to lower costs and get that goal down to the lowest level possible. Again See #2.

8. Make sure your item is available after the Kickstarter on a retail site. What good is all that exposure and success if you have no Retail follow through? Seriously, we've seen KS projects with cool items on offer, and then after the KS is over you can't even locate a shop that sells the excess production run, or even get the project director to answer a single email about getting any of it wholesale off them. WTF?

9. Network with Artists to offer additional Tie-In Items. We got down with 10 Custom Toy Artists from Carson Catlin to Patrick Wong to JCorp to offer Customized DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toys to Supporters. This helped us to reach more potential Supporters via those Artists informing their fan bases. And their Reward Tiers helped us to make our KS Goal quicker. FIY, we committed to providing them each with 90% of the asking price they set for their Custom Toys.

Maybe you don't agree with all of these points and sure they won't all fit your particular KS project. But hey, this was our experience. And we did pretty good. 

In fact, will be coming back with another Kickstarter DIY Toy very soon. One designed by a Designer Toy Award Nominee.

DIY Spray Can Kickstarter - GOAL FUNDED

GOAL MADE!

Thanks to all our Supporters and Artists Involved. YOU did this. This is YOUR victory.

100% Goal is just the start. We are not done yet. Stretch Goals are still on the table. We have whole other DIY Platform Toys to jump start. A mystery Designer Toy Nominee has a platform in development, and we can't wait to go public with this one!

Also check out the long list of Designer Toy Artists offering Customs developed on this new platform now including PLAYFUL GORILLA and NAPTIME NOAH. AND we have increased some volumes at the Custom Toy Artists request. So if a Custom Artists Reward was sold out before, you may have a second chance to acquire a Custom at this point.


So visit the Kickstarter Pre-Order project page to make a pledge, or up your pledge and message us about the extra items you want.

DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy - Supporter UPDATE

DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy - Kickstarter Pre-Order is over 90% Goal!

Now keep in mind that when we reach 200%-300% there will be 2 entirely different DIY platforms offered through this same Kickstarter. So this is far from over, especially since we still have 23 more days to go.

And since this would go nowhere without our Pre-Order Supporters, we want to take this opportunity to thank some of them right here, and give them the props they are due.

Dave Combs of PEEL - Nate Mitchell of Squid Kids Ink - George Gaspar of DoubleG Toys - Eagon Logan Siahaan - Kjelshus Collins - Taylor Poole - Ben Goretsky of 3D Retro - Taylored Curiosities - Dov of DKETOYS - Aaron Hulsizer of Mothership Gallery - COLUS - Otis Arterberry - Phil Foss of TOYTOYS - Micheal Bowers - Joe Schubert - Mako Fufu - Nathan Flores - and many more!

And we have to say, having this kind of list of Supporters is mind blowing to us. We had no idea so many cool artists and Designer Toy scene insiders would even be minding Discordia Merchandising and what we do. So it is an absolute honor and a total validation of what we are up to and gives us a real boost of confidence as we move forward in the future. Absolute gratitude and respect to you all.

DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy - Kickstarter Pre-Order

Introducing DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy. A Full Scale Replication of a standard spray can. From Discordia Merchandising.

"Blank Spray Can sounds cool." - Paul Budnitz

DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy is a Full Scale Standard Spray Can with a twist. It is carefully redesigned to provide the most Customization surface area possible.

All concave indentations and edges have been filled in, all details have been smoothed out, all corners have been rounded. Streamlining a standard Spray Can into an art object that leaves the most room for creative interpretation. It is a hollow vinyl object making it easier to cut into and alter for any Custom Toy possibilities. Includes a realistic molded Fat Cap style top. 

WHEN DO YOU GET YOUR ITEM(S)?
 
DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy is already Under Production! We didn't feel like waiting. If for whatever reason we don't meet the very low goal here, this item will be available either way on Discordia Culture Shop after this Kickstarter ends. At the regular retail price of $15ea. Pre-Order yours here to get the product at a discount and ahead of everyone else.

All 'Extra-Early Bird' and 'Early Bird' Supporters will receive their DIY Spray Can Vinyl Toy almost immediately after this Kickstarter is concluded. So expect to have your goods in hand in mere weeks not months!
