[thelongestwalk]

I forgot all about drawing these when the acoc mini auction was happening, but I might as well post em now! i was very taken with these background calorum npcs so I drew my interpretations of them. what a rich, flavourful world (pun intended)

ANNOUNCING: CALROY! (in the real) (not clickbait)

I know tumblr wasn’t QUITE as involved in the ‘raising funds for the calroy mini’ collective as twitter was, but I thought you guys might appreciate knowing about this update anyway :) 

TLDR; On June 21st, 2022, Dimension 20 announced an auction for the minis used in their A Crown of Candy season. Almost immediately, a group of friends who loved ACOC, and Calroy specifically, began talking about the viability of getting Calroy's mini.

We opened commissions and began raising funds, appealing to the kindness of the Dimension 20 fan community: Help this group of people who care about Calroy bring him home, and help us send him on the world tour he deserves.

The Collective raised just over $11,000, but it wasn't enough to beat Calroy's final selling price of a whopping $11,200! Despite that, the Collective was happy about the solidarity shown by the fandom. 

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Calroy fund donors who agreed to put the money toward charity in case we didn't win the auction, we were able to donate an astounding $8,580 to 5 different mutual aid funds after refunds and PayPal fees!

And that was the end of it... Until the Collective received a message from Dropout in early August. 

Dimension 20 congratulated the Collective on their efforts and their donation to charity.... and offered a surprise gift: a second Calroy mini, made specially by Rick Perry! 8 months later and after getting lost in the mail TWICE, that 2nd custom Calroy mini has now arrived safe and sound.

Anyway! You can find more information about it on the carrd here and on the Twitter account where he’ll be posting updates. I was so excited to share this with you guys but we had to be so patient... hope the wait was worth it!

i want the d20 mini auction for tuc to be just as insane as acoc. if pizza rat doesn’t go for $10k what’s the point

[grasslandgirl]

Dreading the day the fantasy high minis go on auction

oh shit have we gotten confirmation they’re planning on selling the fh minis?? Or is this just an assumption predicated on the past sales of the acoc and tuc minis bc I hadn’t heard anything abt a fh mini auction 👀👀 also I’m curious as to why you’re dreading it? Because of how insane the prices will surely be for all the minis given past results in the previous auction, or because it possibly implies no fh junior year (even though iirc the messaging in past mini auctions specified that selling old minis didn’t mean that they weren’t closed to the potential to do future campaigns set in those settings) ?? Or a separate third reason that hasn’t occurred to me??

whats happening on d20 twitter

the trailer for the new season dropped wednesday, a prequel season for acoc, and some of my beloved mutuals said things about how they hope matt mrcr doesnt "contradict any established pieces of fanlore" from the past 3 years. a valid point, no one tagged mrcr or d20, but people name searching have been arguing and calling them entitled for talking on (personal!) accounts about it. literally this group of fans have raised thousands for charity with acoc zines and stuff, and dropout even sent them a calroy mini after the mini auction because they crowdraised money for it (and then donated most of what was crowdraised when they didn't win the bid).

some of them don't like mrcr's dming style and have brought up valid abouts about how he has mishandled his SWANA inspired world and characters of color (things that they have also been critical of BleeM for) but they just keep getting railed on by critrole fans who think he can do no wrong. like they literally defended a caricature cospaly he did of ganon years ago and reposted last week when he announced he was the new VA.

also several established TTRPG professionals have gotten involved. one QRTed a mutuals tweet to his 50k+ following and it's just gotten pretty insane that people have dug their heels into this so badly!

TUC Auction Tracker

yall knew it was coming.

I will be putting Named Characters only in order of how they appear on the page (except when its multiple of the same character I’ll put them together), and then in order of final price when that is settled. Also as a little treat, for each wave i’ll calculate the unnamed character that got the highest bid (like Ham Dog), and put the lowest that a mini sold for.

UPDATE (11/14): The first “wave” has happened! Turns out they showed all the ones they were going to do at once, but are auctioning them off in 2 waves. This first one was 11/7-11/14 so it just concluded as I write this (2am 11/14)!

UPDATE (11/18): the auction is over! All minis have been sold for a Lot of money for charity and their creators. ya love to see it. I did the math for each wave separately, but combined the lists at the end and calculated priciest unnamed character and lowest/highest bid overall too ^v^

Listed below are named characters and their final prices, sorted most expensive first. I also crunched the numbers for the unnamed character which got the highest bid!

Wave 1:

Stephen Sondheim - $2,001

Ox - $1,901

Kugrash - $1,601

La Gran Gata - $1,400

Ricky Matsui (1/2) - $1,279

Kingston Brown (1/2) - $1,141

Wally Kugrich - $1,112.11

Pete Conlan (1/2) - $951

Em - $925

Alejandro Ortiz - $881

Sofia Lee (1/2) - $776

Misty Moore (Titania costume) - $751

Lady Liberty - $711

Misty Moore (1/2) - $703

Isabella Infierno - $576

Priya Danger - $501

Becky - $476

Epona Cirillo - $416

and congrats to Mutant Santa Clone 9 for being the priciest unnamed mini at $852!

the priciest unnamed mini is mutant santa clone 9 at 852$!

the lowest price paid for a mini was Elvis Impersonator at $322!

Fun Fact: Robert Moses and The Juicy Cockroach sold for exactly the same amount. This is because capitalism is vermin.

Observation: the average price per mini is about the same as acoc, but the bigger names (PCs, fan favs) have way lower prices than the acoc ‘big names’ - I don’t think any acoc PC went for under 1000, and fan fav npcs also had 4 digits for the most part, some even 5. not to say this isn’t a LOT of fucking money being thrown around - stephen sondheim alone is like. MONTHS of pay at min. wage

My hypothesis (11/14) is:

A. a crown of candy has been starved for content for longer and gained more of a cult following. tuc got a season 2! their fans are well-fed, and it makes a difference in how they interact with the story.

B. the novelty of the idea to begin with - it was the first time the auction happened, and no one was sure if it would ever happen again.

C. a lot of the tuc characters have multiple minis. All the player characters have at least 2 versions of themselves, and this is the first wave. I hypothesize that when the bidding is for the last Pete Conlan mini available, things will get pricier.

D. acoc was a much more........emotionally draining campaign. tensions ran a lot higher bc of the PC permadeath and serious nature of it all. Not to say tuc isn’t emotional or serious, but like. acoc hit Different. More people wanted that fuckin carrot dead than anyone in tuc season 1 at least.

E. related, and probably not as much of a factor, but tuc is at its core about destroying capitalism and empowering the working class, while acoc is all about the upper crust of society. maybe the hardcore fans tuc attracts have less disposable income bc they see themselves represented by the predominantly middle to low-income characters? that could be utter bullshit but it did cross my mind

UPDATE (11/18): no discernible change in pricing b/w waves, nor a big trend b/w duplicate/alternate versions minis of the PCs. (stats below)

Kingston Brown (1/2) - $1,141

Kingston Brown (2/2) - $1,502

the auction prices are fucking insane do NOT get me wrong but! id go bankrupt over primsy coldbottle.

[silentlycrazy]

sprinkles auction is in a week.

Yaaaaas! I finally went on the actual website and looked.

I think it's interesting that Yak and Sprinkle are being sold in the same group as Theo and Ruby and Princess and Jet are together.

I'm also interested in seeing some new pics of Bitternubs (the mini Zak broke after the season ended).

Honestly I never intended to participate or even really pay attention to this auction but it's become really fun.

[scariercnidaria]

where are these mystery d20 fans. where did you get this money. did you remortgage your parents house. this is a money laundering scheme

[howlbear]

Whoever had this queued up to put 69.69 the SECOND it went live. Bless u

[bardy-boy]

So, this may be cheesy but it needs to be said. You are not a fake fan if you didn’t/don’t get a dimension 20 mini. And maybe that might seem obvious, but it bears repeating because it can feel like it. Obviously the show means a lot to many people, myself included and this is no hate towards people who have one, but at the end of the day it’s just a small thing to sit on a shelf. I personally can hardly afford the starting bid. I just don’t have that type of money, my dropout subscription is a treat for myself. Because the show makes me so happy. I’ve been watch it since 2018/2019 and the amount of joy it gives me is unreal. And that’s what matters. Of course I wanted a mini, but I need to remind myself that the show is always gonna be there and to be honest I’d probably lose the mini anyways. Who cares if you don’t have the item. Plenty of people don’t. As long as you love the show, you’re a real fan! And that’s worth celebrating.
