A Studio Bad Egg fan-made tribute to Amphibia, Gravity Falls, and The Owl House

Story

Welcome to the BYEEE collection, Studio Bad Egg’s big send-off, developed as a fan-made tribute to the pop-culture-defining trio of Dana Terrace, Matt Braly, and Alex Hirsch. In this explosive merging of worlds, we say goodbye to the family of shows that have inspired us from day one with a huge, unofficial merchandise campaign the likes of which you’ve never seen before! That’s right, this fan merch campaign is dedicated to The Owl House, Amphibia and Gravity Falls – finally meeting and rubbing shoulders after years of staring at each other from across TV schedules.

This enormous cult fan merch campaign embodies the spirit of love, acceptance and wonder that each series represents – and passes that message onto you from us, as we bid farewell and move onto pastures new. Conceived and concepted by Studio Bad Egg’s Richmond Parakhen, with designs and illustrations by Kyri45, with unique stories by Jordan ‘Grunkle Jam’ Mooney, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see three much-loved realms merge in the crossover event of the century!

This is a completely fan-made tribute collection, with absolutely no involvement from the actual creators or major animation studios. 

As a result, we hope we don’t have to say this, but – THIS IS NOT CANON! Promise!! WE ARE SERIOUS!!!

Three separate families, all uniquely weird, have been thrown together without warning into our realm, ready to take on a singular evil. While they’re all beyond powerful in their own right, it’s through working together that they’ve truly got a shot at defeating the creature that brought them here…

Each of these pins is a 4” tall, hard-enamel masterpiece with different background treatments. When connected together, they form a tetrahedron of power, friendship and creativity – surely the strongest possible match against Bill Cipher’s waning inter-dimensional powers. At their base, three mythical figures – the creators. Dana Terrace, Matt Braly and Alex Hirsch all provide a perfect pillar to our heroes, rendered lovingly in their shows’ respective art styles.

BYEEE Universe Pin #1: Gravity Falls

This glow-in-the-dark 4” x 4”  hard enamel pin features Dipper, Mabel, Ford, Stan, Waddles, Wendy, Soos and McGucket!

  • Silver-plated
  • Back-stamped with our BYEEE logo
  • Glow in the dark eye.
  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Designed by Kyri45

Our first round of heroes are perhaps the most experienced in this multiverse. This whopping 4” triangular pin features all of the core family of the Pines and their allies, including a lesser-seen cameo from Fiddleford McGucket and, of course, Wendy Corduroy, all in a dynamic action pose as they flood through the portal. And what’s that? When placed in the darkness, an eyeball appears… Oh no! He’s watching!

BYEEE Universe Pin #2: The Owl House

This bewitching 4″ x 4” hard enamel pin features Titan Luz, Eda, Hooty and King!

  • Black nickel plated
  • Back-stamped with our BYEEE logo
  • Stained glass background.
  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Designed by Kyri45

It’s no secret that Eda the Owl Lady has been crossing dimensions for decades. Some say she’s even come face-to-face with her ex-husband today…which is probably why she’s in her Harpy form. Y’know, that and the big fight. The Owl Lady is joined by Titan Luz, King, and of course Hootcifer – all ready and waiting to strike down the equilateral monster that’s brought them here. One puny pyramid against two super-powered witches, a titan and an owl-worm…thing? Piece’a cake.

Wait, is his eye a mouth? Alright, gonna need the big staff for this one.

BYEEE Universe Pin #3: Amphibia

This ribbeting 4″ x 4” hard enamel pin features Calamity Anne, Sasha and Marcy, Hop-Pop, Sprig and Polly!

  • Gold-plated
  • Back-stamped with our BYEEE logo
  • Deep blue glitter background and corner gems.
  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Designed by Kyri45

Now look, these girls mean business. There’s no bones about it – they’ve seen off an invasion of Earth before. They’ve fought off entire armies. Marcy’s even seen the sharp end of a sword. They’ve been through the wringer, left their old selves behind, and found glory in being together – even if it does mean they still get a little bit queasy at the smell of swamp water. And if there’s ass-kicking to be had? Polly and Sprig want in. Hop-Pop’s just got nothing else on today.

Surely they’re more than tough enough to take on this guy? He’s not even got slimy skin. Oh. Oh, unless he does that. Ew.

All of these pins will be available individually, in numerous combinations. Get two of one design, three of one design, mix and match – or if you buy the full set? Get access to yet another dimension. A fourth dimension. A dimension of ink and marker…

BYEEE Universe Pin #4: The Creator Pin

It’s often been theorized that all universes have a creator – sometimes an unassuming figure, sometimes a higher power up in the clouds. The same can be said for the three multiverses that have merged today. They appear as strangers to the characters who know them – but familiar to us, in our otherworldly realm.

This pin carries the pillars of each universe’s creation. Alex Hirsch, Matt Braly, and Dana Terrace – all captured in their respective styles, against a swirling, glittering background of universal gateway. This trio acts as the base to the Tetrahedron. Without them, it simply wouldn’t exist…

This inspiring 4″ x 4” hard enamel pin features our rendition of Alex Hirsch, Dana Terrace, and Matt Braly!

  • Holo-plated
  • Back-stamped with our BYEEE logo
  • Pink glitter background
  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Designed by Kyri45

For our super supporters who buckle up for the first 48 hours of our campaign – we’ve got EARLYBIRD TIERS! The BYEEE pins are up for grabs at a special lower price, and we’ve got an exclusive treat – everyone who backs within the first 48 hours will receive an exclusive D20 Infinity Keychain! This will not be available as an add-on and will only be given to Earlybirders.

This is a 3D holo-plated D20 dice, loaded with emblems from each of our three universes – exclusively for our earlybird backers!

The Exclusive Portal Print: 17″ x 11″ print by Kyri45

We can’t have the incredible work of Kyri45 on our campaign without offering a print of our incredible hero image. This is the perfect way to capture that moment when all three dimensions merged into a chaotic whole. Even if it did really mess up our living room.

This 11″ x 17” print features every one of our heroes, alongside their creators – all flying through dimensions in escape of that terrible, toothy beast from beyond. Though Alex seems pretty content to be riding on his hat, instead.

  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Illustrated by Kyri45
  • Exclusive to the BYEEE campaign

When we hit our goal of $56,000 new items will be unlocked. We’ve got plenty planned for the BYEEE collection, some of which is quite unlike anything you’ve ever seen before…

Did you really think we were stoppin’ at just one item? Oh, how quaint! Once we reach our £56,000 goal, we’ve got ourselves not one, not two, but 9 stretch goals lined up! And if we hit a crazy number, say, like $500k…

We have like two other stretch goals that will be revealed later!

Check the stretch goals and all the details below:

$56K Stretch Goal: 2.25″ The Cipher Shack Pin!

Bill’s a natural manipulator. He looks for the weak spot of anybody he’s targeting and goes for the heart. That’s maybe why one of his many efforts to destroy the Pines is trying to take over everything they hold dear, resulting in this horrifying yet oddly cute monstrosity. Here he is, rendered in his A-frame glory. The Mystery Shack becomes The Demonic Shack! Of course, it wouldn’t last. Do you know how painful woodworm is when you’re a living log cabin?

This demonic 2.25” black nickel-plated pin features the triangular terror himself, merged via some form of evil exploits with Oregon’s finest tourist trap!

  • Black nickel-plated
  • Hard enamel pin
  • Back-stamped with our BYEEE logo

$56k: Ford Pines, The Traveller 8” Figure with Base

It’s no secret that Stanford Pines is a man with a certain level of main-character syndrome. The moment that the portals opened and realms collided, he had donned his traveling clothes and threw himself into the glowing window to another world to explore what horrors lurk within.

In his words, dimensions merging together might be ‘troublesome’, but it offers a superb opportunity. He soon returns with a familiar companion on his back and a belt of palismans to aid in the fight.

Our Infinity Warrior stands at a whopping 8 inches (20cm) tall and comes complete with Sprig on his back and a collection of Palismans. He’s also supplied with an exclusive, extra-large base, with magnets for easy affixing. Behind him lurks a light-up infinity mirror – with his old nemesis deep within, ready to strike.

  • 8” tall (20cm) vinyl figure of Stanford Pines
  • Includes Sprig and a collection of Palismans
  • Complete with LED-light infinity mirror base
  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Designed by Kyri45

$120K: Brass Tacks Stan 8″ Figure

Stan stood, jaw agape. That harpy looked far too familiar. Could it be? Marilyn Fakename?! Dipper and Mabel had never seen him so quiet, nor so in awe of a woman. Not since he saw a dancer in Vegas wearing fifty dollar bills.

That Bill might be real wise guy, but he’s made one big mistake: Nobody messes with his family. And when Bipper is standing ahead of them, he’s ready and waiting to make sure his nephew is freed.

When we began drawing up our action figures, he had plenty to say. Raising his brass knuckles, he told Richmond and Kyri45 they “Sure as hell better make him look good.” and gave them a somewhat crude sketch on a napkin from Greasy’s Diner.

It took a little bit of redesign, but we’re pretty sure we’ve got it. It’s not so much Stanley Pines as it is Stan in his own image – but you know what? When you’ve got a right hook like him, we’re not prone to argue.

Stan comes to us with his shirt torn, glistening muscles on display, and brass-knuckles primed, ready to punch that triangle “Straight back into next Tuesday! And by next Tuesday I mean space-jail or somethin’.”

Eda is not available to comment.

If we surpass all this? Buckle in for a full set of figures, inspired by the Calamity Trio!

$160K: Responsibility: Anne Boonchuy 6” Figure

This 6” tall vinyl figure priced at $85USD commemorates the incredible development in Anne’s character throughout the series, and showcases her as, deep down, she always was: a warrior for what she knows is right!

Anne’s honest thoughts on this demon? He’s full’a frogspit. Also that Grunkly dude and his handyman seem familiar, and it’s creeping her out. And is that some kinda owl worm?

Look, she’s not having a great time, and she’s not letting some Dorito guy shove her and her friends around.

When push comes to shove, nobody keeps the Blue Gem of heart and responsibility from taking down an evil. Flanked by her two best friends, Anne comes to us ready and waiting to strike down anything that needs struck, even if an evil triangle wasn’t quite in her plans today.

Donning the ancestral tennis of rackets that had aided her so ably in saving the Amphibious realm, Anne is loaded with confidence, loaded with her sense of justice – and crucially, ready and waiting to kick some triangular butt. Does a triangle have a butt? It’s a valid question we aren’t comfortable trying to answer.

  • 6” tall vinyl figure
  • Concept by Richmond Parakhen
  • Designed by Kyri45

$180K: Persistence: Sasha Waybright 6” Figure

This 6” tall vinyl figure showcases everything we love about Sasha. She might have made mistakes, but her strength has always shone through, along with her sheer persistence and dogged determination. Who better to join the fight against a multi-dimensional top-hat-donning triangle?

Sasha didn’t have much to say about Bill Cipher that was fit for print. She’s had plenty of experience fighting in other dimensions, and she’s not going down here without plenty of swordplay.

She was unshaken by the appearance of new allies and enemies – even if that weird nerdy kid with the Pine Tree cap kept staring at her. According to his overenthusiastic sister, he had a bit of a thing going for blondes at the moment. Gross.

No, all Sasha was here for was getting her and her friends back home. …Again.

  • 6” tall vinyl figure

$200K: Humility: Darcy 6” Figure

This 6” Darcy figure perfectly captures the imposing, biomechanical terror of The Core, with that iconic scythe ready and waiting to strike down the creature that brought it here. However, all is not quite what it seems…

When Marcy is catapulted into another realm, it almost seems to be an act of fate that the Darcy armour comes with her. Perhaps there’s a higher power at play here that’s particularly tuned in to the Amphibious world…or maybe it was a random time vortex.

Marcy has been through plenty of crud, and has been through plenty of therapy, and is more than willing to don The Core’s terrifying armour again – this time with her in control. Swinging the laser scythe – while still being a super-smart ultra-nerd who’s read the Ciphertology manifesto? No wonder she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Our reborn Darcy figure spreads fear into even the fiercest of triangles – and completes the terrifying power of the Calamity Trio perfectly.

$220K Stretch Goal: 2.75″ The Harpy Guardians Pin

The two Harpies of the Boiling Isles are as famous as they are feared, and we’ve no doubt they’ll have a big role in the upcoming battle. While Eda’s a little shaken by a familiar face from her past life standing in front of her, she’s much more focused on staying alongside Lilith and working to protect King, Luz and Hooty. Maybe not so much Hooty, but the point stands.

This 2.75″ pin badge proudly totes the two guardians in all of their glory. If Bill isn’t quaking in his boots already, he will be when he feels a harpy claw. Those things hurt!

  • Metal hard-enamel pin

$220K Stretch Goal: The Gatekeeper Hootcifer 6” Figure

Even Bill Cipher shivers when he considers the monstrosity that is Hootcifer. Sitting bizarrely between worlds like a tangled jumprope, this coiled bird-worm-demon…thing has been an unstoppable – if highly irritating – force to reckon with for decades, perhaps centuries, perhaps millenia on The Boiling Isles.

With his ability to manipulate his form at will, to sing really terrible songs and to squeeze like an Anaconda, Hooty isn’t just a gatekeeper to the Owl House – he’s ascended to something more. A gatekeeper between realms – a doorman of dimensions!

Spitting a thick mucus from deep within his mouth, the Pines, Titans and Trio can only watch in disgusted awe as it bubbles like acid against the surface of our triangular foe. The sound is almost as indescribable as the smell.

The multiverse is an unpredictable beast – but we’ve managed to assemble a projected timeline of the campaign and its shipping dates. Please bear in mind that shipping schedules are subject to change based on the production phase, which involves sampling, coordinating details with our manufacturers, and ensuring quality control. We want you to get your hands on your heroes just as much as you do – but they’ve gotta be top quality!

Studio Bad Egg is a cosy little Californian business, run by yours truly – Richmond Parakhen, with help from the wonderful Susa Jean Carvajal. We’ve always had this undying love for everything cartoon-related and thought, why not bring that passion to life in the form of some awesome, empathetically-inducing products? So here we are! At Studio Bad Egg, we’re all about infusing that warm, fuzzy feeling of love and care put into our creations, helping ground anyone who purchases our products.

We’ve run several successful fan merch campaigns for exactly that, ranging from the Steven Universe Crystal Jams vinyl toy, multiple incredible tributes to The Owl House and, of course, our show stopping Gravity Falls products with the Cipher Cult Collection – for which this is a spiritual sequel of sorts.

Studio Bad Egg is where everyone, from every corner of the galaxy, can stop by and be exactly who they want to be, accompanied by their favorite worlds and characters. Come on in, kick your feet up, get a nice hot drink and make yourself at home.

The rewards will be sent out via USPS First Class Mail/Media Mail and will come with tracking numbers. We have had great success with this carrier both in our previous Kickstarters and our online shop.

Studio Bad Egg can take no responsibility for lost or stolen packages.

Risks and challenges

We’ve been doing this for quite some time – but the world is constantly in flux, as is the nature of production and preorder. In particular, with the constantly changing political situation worldwide, a logistics field still suffering from the pandemic and a backlog amongst most of our suppliers, there’s always a risk of delays. Sometimes, a toy may need modifying to be practical. Sometimes, they might even require a remodel. With this in mind, we’ll always try to keep you updated with progress and any issues that might arise.

Keep in mind that all illustrations above are not the final look of the products, but they’re usually incredibly close! While we have some of the best artists, modelers and manufacturers out there on our team, we can never 100% guarantee that things will look exactly as illustrated. Don’t worry – in our experience, they usually turn out better!

We’ve got super strict standards at Studio Bad Egg and will always keep you updated on how things are looking. Production and manufacturing is a difficult process, and with your backing, you’re bringing some truly remarkable, never-before-seen designs to life – and translating art into a physical form, especially for a small business like ours, is expensive!

As a result, your pledge goes straight to manufacturing the moment Kickstarter clears the funds. As a result, once the campaign is over, we cannot refund your pledge. This is as-covered in the Indiegogo terms of service and is something you agree to upon pledging. As a result, we can’t emphasize this enough – if you need to cancel your pledge or change your mind, cancel it before the campaign ends! We’d also recommend you to be super careful with your addresses. We’re not responsible for any products that go missing due to an incorrect address or stolen package. We can usually step in if a product arrives to you damaged or incorrect, but otherwise we don’t accept returns.
