Tony Chu is a cibopath, a father, a husband, a former traffic cop and the most badass gum-shoeing, dog-chewing, fast-pitching federal agent around.

He deserves to be on your shelf.

This campaign is to launch an officially-licensed Tony Chu mini-bust from the wildly popular comic book "CHEW" by John Layman and Rob Guillory, published by Image Comics.

Tony Chu mini-bust

Tony is designed by Israel Skelton and Rob Guillory, sculpted by Derek Hallett, and stands just over 7 inches tall. He's in scale with the sold-out Poyo mini-bust the studio produced last year.

Tony's emerging from a can of beets with a label designed by Rob with plenty of "CHEW"-y nods on the back ("Instructions: Open container. Throw directly into trash. Seriously. Why would you ever think of eating this? Ew.")

Tony Chu mini-bust back

For the campaign, we're offering rewards like a campaign-exclusive plush Chog (beet red with a pink belly), Skype sessions with John, Rob and Israel, and the Ultimate CHEW Pack: One of everything "CHEW" Skelton Crew Studio has ever released, including anything sold out, in a matching number set WITH a never-before-released — and won't be released — FDA badge that only exists in prototype form.

We love doing what we do at the studio and we'd love your help bringing Tony to life.

Thanks!

We've added a stretch goal!

If we can hit $26,000 with this campaign, everyone who has backed the Tony mini-bust will receive a free miniature vinyl Chog!

Miniature vinyl Chog prototype

It's just over 2 inches of fricken adorableness, sculpted by Jamie Macfarlane and a piece we plan on launching this fall, blind box-style.

We'll be releasing a limited number of different colors (blues, oranges, greens, whites and glows, to name a few), each sealed in a Poult-Plus can-shaped box.

For each Tony purchased during the campaign, you'll get one free blind box mini vinyl, shipping with your mini-bust(s), if we can hit that extra goal. (So the free, stretch offer applies to any tier $58 and above.)

Thanks so much! The support for the campaign has been really awesome. Please keep spreading the word!

Here's to hoping we can hit the stretch!
