Lone Coconut, the creative studio behind the beloved Plunderlings line, has officially opened the gates for their latest seafaring creatures. In a surprising move that departs from their traditional release strategy, the company has announced that the highly anticipated PlunderFrogs or up for pre-order while the PlunderBeaks figures are now available in-stock.

A New Way to Collect

Historically, Lone Coconut has utilized crowdfunding platforms to bring their imaginative designs to life. This allowed the community to back projects and reach stretch goals together. However, for this latest wave, the studio has decided to bypass Kickstarter entirely, moving straight to a direct order model. This shift is a significant milestone for the brand, signaling a level of growth and stability that allows them to move from “project-based” releases to a more traditional retail-ready cycle.

For fans of the line, this means a more streamlined purchasing experience. Without the wait times typically associated with crowdfunding campaigns, collectors can secure their figures immediately through official channels or trusted third-party retailers.

Meet the New Crew: PlunderFrogs and PlunderBeaks

The Plunderlings universe is expanding with two distinct new species that maintain the signature “goblin-meets-pirate” aesthetic that has made the brand a cult favorite.

PlunderFrogs: These amphibious additions bring a new level of personality to the shelf. The standout of the wave is undoubtedly the “Nomad Koqui,” a limited edition action figure that showcases the vibrant colors and expressive face-swapping features the line is known for. With high articulation and a variety of accessories, these frogs are designed for both dynamic posing and imaginative play.

• Nomad Koqui
• Tinker Makoh
• Cursed Dendro

PlunderBeaks: Not to be outdone, the avian-inspired PlunderBeaks offer a sharper, more aerodynamic look to the pirate crews. Like their predecessors, these figures are roughly 1/12 scale, making them compatible with a wide range of other popular action figure lines, a feature that has made them staples in the toy photography community.

Where to Buy

Collectors looking to place a PlunderFrogs pre-order have two primary options. Lone Coconut is hosting the orders directly on their official website, www.plunderlings.com. Shopping directly often ensures that the creators receive the maximum support for future waves.

However, for those who prefer the convenience of “Pile of Loot” shipping or want to bundle their order with other brands, BigBadToyStore (BBTS) has also listed the wave. The Nomad Koqui Limited Edition, for example, is currently featured on their storefront, giving international fans and domestic collectors alike multiple avenues to ensure they don’t miss out on these short-run releases.

Why This Matters for Independent Toys

The success of Lone Coconut serves as a blueprint for other independent toy designers. By building a dedicated base of fans, they have proven that original IP (Intellectual Property) can thrive in a market dominated by massive licensed brands. The decision to skip Kickstarter suggests that the demand for Plunderlings has reached a point where the brand can sustain its own production costs, a dream for any “indie” creator.

As the pre-order window stays open, toy fans are encouraged to act quickly. Whether you are a long-time member of the “hatchery” or a newcomer to the islands, the PlunderFrogs and PlunderBeaks represent some of the most creative character designs in the industry today.
