Among the most successful action figure Kickstarters in recent memory came from Hatter Toys, with their Flip-Or figure. Now the company is back showcasing a sinister expansion to a fan-favorite figure. Get ready to embrace your dark side, because the Champions of Nefarity are officially heading to Kickstarter this summer.
This upcoming wave marks the first expansion for the World of Flip-Or, a line that is not afraid to poke fun the hobby and itself. While the heroes usually get the spotlight, this “Bring on the Bad Guys” campaign is strictly for the villains, introducing a lineup of antagonists designed to challenge the status quo of any action figure collection.
The Rise of the Champions of Nefarity
In the world of indie toys, character design is king. Based on a recent social media tease, this figure will poke fun at one of toy collector’s favorite people… the “UPS guy!” There isn’t much to go on right now, but the tease suggests that the UPOS figure will have a brown button-up shirt with torn sleeves, and will be a lipless green-skinned monster.
One can kind of guess the accessories that will be included with this figure. I imagine some boxes, that have seen better days. Hand trucks are a possibility, and would be welcome, not just for this figure, but could be used elsewhere. It would also be nice to see him come with DIAD (Delivery Information Acquisition Device) and a pen. The options are endless for this guy!
What to Expect from the Summer Kickstarter
While the full roster of the Champions of Nefarity is still being shrouded in a bit of mystery, the messaging is clear: this is the “Bad Guy” wave we have been waiting for. Here is what we know so far about the upcoming launch:
- Release Window: The campaign is set to go live in Summer 2026.
- The Theme: “Bring on the Bad Guys”, a focused look at the villains of the Flip-Or universe.
- Exclusivity: As with most indie Kickstarter projects, there will likely be tiered rewards, potential stretch goals, and perhaps even Kickstarter-exclusive variants for early backers.
More Figures In This Line?
This is the second figure teased in wave 2. The first? THE HOUND OF TARJAYY! This figure was teased back at the end of 2025.
