ATLANTA, GA - March 17, 2026 - The paranormal has officially gone viral. Cryptoids: War for the Green Planet, the debut action figure line from the creators of Yes Have Some (YHS) Podcast, has achieved a historic milestone by raising over $150,000 in less than 48 hours on Kickstarter.

The campaign, which launched on March 10, reached its initial funding goal in less than 48 hours, signaling a massive shift in the collector market toward independent, fan-driven properties.

The Rise of Cryptoids

Designed "by collectors, for collectors," Cryptoids blends retro-inspired aesthetics with modern storytelling and articulation. The series reimagines legendary creatures like Mothman, Yeti, and Bigfoot as heroes in a near-future battle for Earth’s survival.

The rapid success of the campaign highlights the growing demand for high-quality, niche collectibles that honor folklore while offering fresh, original designs.

“Seeing $150k on the clock in less than 48 hours is a total game-changer," says Craig Goldberg, co-founder of Cryptoids and host of YHS. "We’ve poured our hearts into the DNA of this line, and the collecting community stepped up in a huge way. The fans are hungry for something original, and we’re ready to deliver." 

Campaign Highlights & What’s Next

With the $150,000 milestone surpassed, the campaign has moved deep into its Stretch Goal

territory. New reveals and rewards currently include:

• Exclusive Variants: Limited-edition "Glow-in-the-Dark" and "Stealth" versions of core characters.

• Expanded Roster: New characters like the Squonk and Reptoid Drones are now closer to becoming a reality.

• Premium Packaging: Upgraded vintage-style card backs and collector-tier accessories.

The campaign runs though now until Saturday, April 18, 2026.
