Sky Pirates Crew 3-Packs Are Shipping Now!

We’re back from the Designer Toy Art Fest in Philly, tired but thrilled with how many of you met our rogue’s gallery in person. Now, for those who couldn’t make it:

Shipping Updates

  • The Sky Pirates Crew” 3-packs (Leyla, Bart, and Jacques) are shipping now! Orders placed this week will go out within 48 hours.
  • Individual figures will be available for purchase starting this Monday (perfect if you only need your favorite troublemaker).

Sky Pirates Crew – 3 Pack

$60.00

Bring home the most wanted crew of the over-cloud underground with this exclusive 3-pack of hand-painted, 3.75″ action figures. Made from eco-friendly PAL (a PVC-free, non-toxic vinyl alternative) and featuring 5 points of articulation, these figures are built for dynamic posing: whether you’re staging a heist, a dogfight, or a daring escape.

  • Hand-Painted Details: Every figure is meticulously finished by our small team in Georgia, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

  • Durable & Display-Ready: PAL material stands up to play while looking sharp on a shelf.

The Crew:
Leyla – The deadshot of the group, with a bone to pick with the empire.
Bart – Keeps the ship flying—usually with duct tape and spite.
Jacques – Smuggler, gambler, and the crew’s resident chaos agent.

What’s in the package?

Each 3.75″ figure:

  • Made from PAL (PVC-free vinyl alternative)
  • Hand-painted in our Georgia workshop
  • Articulated at 5 points for dynamic posing
  • Comes with a grappling hook, a sticker, and a few other fun bits and baubles.

While Supplies Last

We’ve got limited stock after the show—snag the 3-pack deal before it’s gone, or mark your calendars for Monday’s single-figure drop.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth in Philly. Your energy made the exhaustion worth it!

BLAST OFF WITH SPACEHAWK: OUR NEW RETRO ACTION FIGURE TAKES FLIGHT!

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest handcrafted tribute to comic book history—the Spacehawk 3.75″ Retro Action Figure, inspired by Basil Wolverton’s iconic 1940s cosmic hero!

MEET THE SOLAR SYSTEM’S TOUGHEST DEFENDER

This fully articulated figure brings Wolverton’s grimacing hero to life with:
Jointed limbs for dynamic mid-space battle poses
Removable plastic belt and grappling hook (essential for boarding enemy ships)
Hand-painted details—each one unique, just like Wolverton’s inky, energetic art
Eco-conscious PAL material (our PVC-free vinyl substitute) with 20% recycled HDPE

Designed to slot perfectly beside your vintage Star Wars or Mego figures, this is Golden Age heroism, reimagined for modern collectors.

WHY SPACEHAWK? WHY NOW?

In a world of mass-produced plastic, we’re proud to:

  • Keep it small-batch (every figure touched by human hands in Ellijay, GA)
  • Honor Wolverton’s legacy (his anti-fascist space hero feels eerily relevant today)
  • Push sustainable toys (no PVC, partially post consumer recycled, entirely recyclable)

PAIR WITH MOUNTAIN TOWN COMICS #3

Launch your Spacehawk into action alongside our new comic reissue, featuring:

  • A classic Spacehawk story (Wolverton at his pulpy best)
  • Al Ulmer’s bizarre Microface tale (because every space hero needs an Earthbound counterpart)

SEE THEM IN PERSON!

We’ll be debuting both the figure and comic at the Designer Toy Art Festival (Aug 9-10, Philadelphia)—come geek out over vintage comics and sustainable toys with us!
