Recently, the senior staff members of OG13 found out that a couple of fellow members of OG13 were recovering from some life altering events and we wanted to come up with a way to bring the whole community together to share support for these members (and the community) in general. In addition to the custom auctions, and the two charity raffles, we decided on making an official OG13 Custom Trooper and sell a limited number of these figures to raise money to help ease the burdens our friends have suffered. We hope to continue this venture on a yearly basis, and this year it is all about our members, because without your support, we would never be where we are today! Yo G13!
As of 7/23, we have all 50 of the figures made, but only 6 of the cards/bubbles have been sent. We are waiting on mocJoes to complete the order of the cards.
Pre-orders have been fast and furious, so we have around 24 of the 50 left for sale.
- 100% of the profits go to 2 OGers in need.
- We will reveal both, as well as the exact amount of money raised/sent, at the end of this project.
- We will provide a full list of sponsors, contributors, and participants.
- The exclusives will be shipped AS the cards are received by mocJOES (theProcess). If you order, expect a wait as the cards are manufactured. If you cannot wait, or are the type to complain about the wait, then true charity might not be your reason for ordering!
- All figures will be hand numbered, 1/50, 12/50, etc.
Here are ACTUAL shots of the exclusive figure and packaging:
And here is a huge thank you to all that participated in the making of this figure, and to all that donated their own figures, time, talent, money, and patience, to make this happen. If we missed anyone (and probably did), please let us know!
