Happy New Year! It's 2022: What's next?
🕑 Added 2022-01-01 19:50:56 +0000 UTCGreetings patrons!
The year 2022 is here! Last year was a good time to be a Ghostbusters fan - even amidst all of the craziness in today's world. There seemed to be no shortage of new Ghostbusters content: a new movie was released and toys are back on shelves!
For me, Ghostbusters is quite personal - it's a way to share an interest with my son and a has become a welcome hobby distraction from the day-to-day grind of work, news, politics, and all of the other trappings of 21st century life. It has been an honor to see this Patreon grow into a resource which seems to be valued by patrons and the larger Ghostbuster community.
As I've indicated in recent past posts, I have decided to started adding my more philanthropic interests into the regular mix here. I am always blown away by how Ghostbusters groups use their unique interests to support good causes around the world - I believe it is when the community is at its best! I want to use my own modest influence to contribute here.
I have set a few new earnings goals reflecting how I will be using funds from this Patreon and will continue to direct them to charitable causes benefiting families, children, and communities. This means that when you join as a patron, not only are you getting access to new and original Ghostbusting content, your money is also going to be put to use in places that I feel can can make our world a better place. Updates on this initiative will be posted monthly!
Additionally, I have a number of projects that will be continuing into 2022 involving new props and toys inspired by Ghostbusters.
- The Video Game props - I still have it on my list to release new electronics guides supporting the 3D printing props I have made inspired by the video game. You can see from an Instagram post this last week that I recently worked through a lighting install for my CPS prop build.
- Ghost trap electronics - I will be publishing an electronics guide supporting the 3D printable movie trap (with removable cartridge) released in early November. Notably, The servo mechanism for opening/closing the trap doors will be released first!
- Toy playset expansions - I have a few projects lined up for enhancing my Ecto Containment Unit playset. This includes creating an interior design for the main chamber and lighting! Additionally, I have some ideas in mind on enhancing the original Kenner Firehouse... more to come!
- Going extreme? - There seems to be a high interest in having 3D printable content for the Extreme Ghostbusters. In fact, it's probably the #1 request. In 2022, I will embark on new prop content for the Extreme Ghostbusters. Consider my Kenner XGB proton pack accessory as dipping my first toe in the water....
- Action figure toy accessories - Speaking of action figures... Smaller toy accessory projects will continue to be published. I have a lot of fun making these things and they make for quick simple builds!
Thank you so much for being a part of this Patreon. It's motivating to see so many people interested in this work and I absolutely love seeing people making things and getting the positive energy flowing!
Thank you all!
