Diane Hyppolite is creating a figurine of snowboarder Shaun White and solicits funding on her Kickstarter page here for "OMG it's SHAUN WHITE! Project" - with a goal of US$2,600 - which will help cover the cost of a finalized printed box and art book, the toy itself, blind boxes with blank mini toys, and Pressure Pot and a good air-compressor to make the three high quality resin toys (without bubbles in it) from the mold.
"With your help, I will have all the tools needed to produce three high quality versions of the toy for my supporters to make a decision on. Plus, I’ll be able to use the tools to continue to work on contributors’ projects and of course my own run of designer toys."
