Personally I do hope it's another Kickstarter, but simplified, and maybe with an investor lowering the goal needed. If they can find someone willing to invest a couple thousand dollars, just lower the goal by that level. If they can make the goal $60,000, so it funds almost immediately if people do the same pledges they did on the first day last time, this time it will probably fly.
Outside of simplifying the overall Kickstarter, with easier to understand rewards packages and more consistent and achievable stretch goals, I think they need to try targeting a single fandom. Either do all TF stuff or all MOTU stuff at first, and then crossover once it takes off. That editorial discipline and oversight is important, and they'll get much more attention that way.
I can see focusing the MOLDING on Tranaformers relates stuff, but when they need a repaint they could repaint into other 80's fandoms. I honestly don't see a problem with repainting their not-Skullgrin into Skeletor colors. It didn't cost any new molding, and there was no new TF related character they could make of the mold anyways. It cost little money to make and got them more pledges. Skeletor colors makes them more money than a random original character no one wants.
