I just posted this to the Kickstarter page:

Wow. What a crazy day.

We reached our initial goal in half an hour. By the first hour we’d hit our first stretch goal. Today we have funded 800% of our goal and unlocked 5 MHI challenge coins. I figured this project would be successful but I’m blown away by the reception.

You guys are absolutely amazing.

We will be putting together a FAQ as soon as possible.

So far we have unlocked:

Original MHI

MCB/Agent Franks

Team Haven

The International Conference of Monster Hunting Professionals commerative coin

Skippy

I will be attending ConStellation in Alabama for the rest of the week but I’ll be checking in as often as possible. I’ve got someone helping me (though I believe he has declined to be identified) 🙂 so as more stretch goals are met the next coins will be revealed.

We’ve got 29 days to go, so please tell your friends and spread the word. The Monster Hunter Nation rocks.

So we’re 4 hours in and 596% funded.

We have unlocked 4 coins so far:

Monster Hunter International

MCB/Agent Franks

Team Haven

The Last Dragon/ICMHP commerative coin

And we have revealed:

Skippy

Special Task Force Unicorn

Holy moly.

Okay, so we funded in less than half an hour. Then we hit our first stretch goal in an hour. So now we’ve got the MHI coin and the Franks/MCB coin.

We’ve almost hit our next goal, which is the Team Haven coin, and after that is the International Conference of Monster Hunting Professionals commerative coin.

So we are 391% funded in the first couple hours. And we’ve got a whole bunch more stretch goals planned.

I know the Alpha tier sold out fast, but I’m working on an Alpha 2. That’s all about scrounging up more hard cover 1st edition MHLs to draw in.

So now that it is almost 11 mountain time, I’m going to eat breakfast and shower. 🙂

Yes, the thing you’ve all been waiting for is here! Monster Hunter International challenge coins!
