Snap Ships Tactics — Expansion + Reprint

BY SNAP SHIPS

We are big fans of Snap Ships, and it's really exciting to see all the new goodies that they have on this campaign. I love the product mix, the presentation, everything about the campaign is so fun to look at. I showed the new ships to our kids, and they skipped right past "Can we get that?" and straight to "When will it be here?"

Since then, the campaign has made history as the most crowdfunded film project of all time. Hear from Felicia on what brought the Knights of Good back together and why crowdfunding was the right way to make it happen.
