Gametee Oddworld Abe Kickstarter

[Niko (protozoalord)]

Surprised I haven't seen this around already, but there's an already funded Kickstarter for an Oddworld Abe action figure!

I think there's some room for improvement here, like adding articulation to the ankles and wrists, but I'm happy to see the little guy get some love.

That looks neat! I was not a gamer at all when it came out, but I remember it being popular enough that it broke into my sphere of consciousness.

I saw this guy the other day, and I gotta say, I am tempted. There's a surprising lack of Oddworld merch, for as beloved as the series itself seems. It's a nice looking figure, even if there definitely needs to be some added articulation. It's a little pricey, but I'd still love to see it succeed.

 

[ManOfTheLamb]

Ooh. An Oddworld series could be cool. I'd kill for a Stranger figure.

 

[Boy Wonder]

Welp. I’d certainly take that if gets made.

I could be wrong, but I think backing the Kickstarter is the only way to get one- not sure if they'll be made available to buy from anywhere else after, so if you want one, definitely pledge. The goal's already been met, with 21 days left to go, so they're definitely being made.

so they're definitely being made.

With the current state of the world with the whole tariff situation, unless these are made somewhere other than China, that might be more difficult than the creators initially planned for.

Luckily for us, they've covered this in FAQ. As things currently stand, they seem to be exempt from tariffs due to some loopholes with some UK laws and being partially manufactured in the UK. I imagine this can and will change, but here's to hoping it doesn't.
