Launch readiness

Bringing Kitt Frost to life has been nothing short of a blast. From the earliest sketches to holding a painted 3D figure in my hand, the journey has been a wild blend of creativity, experimentation, and joy. I’ve been elbows-deep in everything: Designing characters, writing lore, sculpting side stories, and even planning a game mechanic where Kitt slides through time itself to solve puzzles.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing a character you’ve created leap off the page, and into real life. Thanks to my multicolored Bambu 3D printer (currently rocking 8 colors!), Kitt is no longer just a drawing or a name on a script. He’s a figure I can turn over in my hand, paint; each one a tangible piece of a world I’m still building.

But beyond the figures, there’s the comic itself. That’s where the real learning curve has been. I’ve been experimenting with everything: Panel rhythm, layout clarity, tone. Do I go full comic-comic? Lean serious? Play with slice-of-life storytelling? Where’s the line between dramatic and too dramatic, funny and just weird? And how do I weave in action, romance, and tension while still keeping it kid-friendly and PG?

Each page feels like a question and a new opportunity. Every panel teaches me something about pacing, clarity, emotion, and restraint. It’s a puzzle, just like the ones I’m building into the game. And like Kitt himself, I’m learning to slide through the timelines of possibility, figuring things out as I go.

This whole project has reminded me why I love creating in the first place. It’s about chasing wonder, sharing a story, and building something that others can get excited about. Kitt Frost isn’t just a character anymore – he’s becoming a world.

And the best part? I’m just getting started.

    How do I get some of those great looking action figures

  2. How do we get some of those great looking action figures?

    1. Thanks so much for your interest! We’re really proud of these little guys.

      We’re giving away 32mm figures along with the first printing (for free) of the comic. Once the prints, packaging for the figures comes through, we’ll be giving them out free. Locations to be announced soon!

      As comics are released, we’re planning on giving out 32mm figures of newly featured characters. We’ve amassed a library of 40+ characters for Kitt Frost. All modeled and ready for print.

      We just need to get the pen to paper to keep up!!
