Horrible Adorables' "The Familiar Toy" Online Release on June 9th
Horrible Adorables shares with us toynews of the upcoming June 9th (8pm EST) release of their latest vinyl toy (which I just featured & launched at Five Points) to me made available on www.horribleadorables.com: Introducing "The Familiar; Nutterson III"
WHO-IS: "Nutterson III is the overly curious and absentminded Familiar of the Aether Mage Akasha. He was called into service after both Nutterson I and Nutterson II (no relation) were consecutively dematerialized while playing with Akasha's Atomic Astrolabe. These unfortunate incidents occurred immediately after Akasha told them not to touch the delicate instrument. Luckily the topic of the Atomic Astrolabe has not yet come up in Nutterson III's training. As the Aether Familiar, Nutterson III is one of the most powerful spell casters in all of Joralee; if you can get him to focus long enough to actually cast a spell." (@horrible_adorables)
Priced at US$45, Nutterson III is a soft vinyl toy in a Purple-Marbled Aether Colorway. Sized 5" tall and has an articulated head and paws that can be posed to cast all sorts of spells. His decorative star and all seeing eye are painted shimmery silver. (Toy Produced by Squibbles Ink).
Nutterson III comes with a starter pack of Horrible Adorables' new game Ballyhoo! It includes 7x playing cards, 1x 20 sided die, 1x custom printed Ballyhoo coin, 6x score markers, a magic pouch, and a download code to play the Ballyhoo board game.
GAME STORY: "The good Witches and Wizards of Joralee were ambushed and captured by a horde of evil Foes. Their only hope is for their Familiars to save them. Although, it is not a strong hope since their Familiars are not well trained and are all a little bumbling. Nevertheless, the Familiars have dutifully banded together on a quest to overthrow the evil Foes and save their spell casting partners. They may just surprise their Witches and Wizards with a few tricks (and Familiars) of their own!"
GAME DESCRIPTION: "Ballyhoo! is a cooperative style game where you must work with your fellow Familiars to figure out how to defeat the horde of evil Foes. It is intended for 1-5 players, and recommended for ages 8 and up."
"If you purchase our Familiar toy you will receive a code to download the current Beta version of the game in .pdf form to print out and play at home. Artwork, rules, and game cards will be periodically updated with every new Familiar color release. Look for a Kickstarter in early 2020 for the final version of Ballyhoo!"
