Ooh. Strong Nostalgia. Noggin the Nog was my favourite - must be 40 years ago.

Is this figures only, or a game as well?

Those are lovely, takes me back in time. Ivor the Engine was my favourite but always enjoyed Noggin. I may have to join in on the kickstarter. Great work!   :-*

Miniatures via myself, a boardgame is in the offing next year using the minis.

So jealous! Just got a couple of the little books that are signed.

I must have them. Noggin was my favourite programme in my (distant) childhood.

I wasn't familiar with Nogs, but these ARE nice.
Hope they do well. I had no doubt who Nogbad was - lovely model that!

This is just wonderful.

it's not just that you've produced such a range - but that it's to such a high standard of faithfulness to the character and proportions in the original illustrations.
And the greens of the figures on thrones  etc ... just brilliant. I profoundly hope this venture is the success it deserves to be - and I will look into the KS - which will be the first I've done if so (apart from the GA nickstarter).

On its own terms (quite apart from the lovely noggin-ness), one of the best ranges of figures I've seen.

Having had a gander at the blog can I ask how many minis are planned and is there a game associated with them at all?

There is a board game coming out next year that will be using plastic versions of some of the minis although that is my only connection to it. Fully licensed again and really looking forward to it.

Edit. Lots more planned (and lots already sculpted and authorised), now depends on getting the funding for production etc.

Brilliant! Now saving up desperately.
Any chance of doing the cast of Captain Pugwash next?   :D

I loathe Kickstarters I really do but sometimes you have to make an exception.  This is one of those times. Pledged.

Me too.   :)  (For some reason Nogbad the Bad was always my favourite character.  I think it was the ravens...)

Just so special and certainly backed.  As stated will be part of a Saga warband.  Just a question any chance a Pugwash crew on the Horizon?
