Cryptkins - Board Game & Vinyl Figures Kickstarter - Press Release
Cryptozoic Entertainment Launches Kickstarter for Cryptkins
The Cryptid-Inspired Phenomenon Returns with Series 3 Vinyl Figures, the Brand-New Board Game Cryptkins: On the Loose!, a Plush, Enamel Pins, And More
Laguna Hills, CA — May 26, 2026 — Cryptozoic Entertainment, a leading creator of tabletop games, trading cards, and collectibles, today announced the launch of a new Kickstarter campaign for Cryptkins, the fan-favorite line of adorable cryptid collectibles.
The campaign is headlined by Series 3 of Cryptkins vinyl figures, featuring Skunk Ape, Champ, Imp, Jackalope, and many more, alongside the brand-new board game Cryptkins: On the Loose! Backers will also find Kickstarter Exclusive vinyl figures, game expansions, the first-ever Cryptkins plush, the first Cryptkins puzzle, enamel pins, and Kickstarter Exclusive stretch goals available only during the campaign.
“Cryptkins are near and dear to us at Cryptozoic, so we’re thrilled to bring them back after years of fans asking for more,” said Shahriar Fouladi, CEO of Cryptozoic Entertainment. “From the beginning, fans connected with the unique blend of creepy and cute that makes Cryptkins so special. This campaign is not just a return to the world of Cryptkins, but the start of an exciting new chapter for the brand, including the worldwide premiere of the official Cryptkins theme song. We have big plans for Cryptkins in the years ahead. As the tagline says: ‘They Do Exist!’”
Each Cryptkins: Series 3 figure is a 2.25-inch vinyl collectible packed inside a blind-reveal miniature crate and includes a Bio Card, perfect for collectors and cryptid seekers alike. The Series 3 assortment features 12 blind-reveal figures with a guarantee of all 10 core Cryptkins in every set, plus a chance to get two rare chase figures (Death Valley Chupacabra and Indigo Gryphon) and one ultra-rare chase figure waiting to be uncovered.
Cryptkins: On the Loose! is the first board game set in the world of Cryptkins. Designed for 2-4 players ages 8 and up, the cooperative game has players working together to corral the chaotic creatures slipping into our world before the ancient force known as “Bob” breaks through. Dry-erase Cryptkin ID Cards and a dry-erase board make it easy to track gameplay in real time, while every component is scaled so collectors can swap in their Series 3 vinyl figures in place of the standees. The game even includes a Kickstarter Exclusive Sasquatch vinyl figure.
The campaign also offers a range of Kickstarter Exclusives and add-ons, including the Bone-Chilling Hydra vinyl figure, the 8-inch Bigfoot Plush, a four-pack of Enamel Pins, and the 64-piece Clubhouse Puzzle. Players can expand their game with the Kickstarter Exclusive Big Trouble Expansion, which adds classic Cryptkins and premium punchboard ID Cards, as well as the Custom Terrain Pack and Unknown Terrain Pack for endlessly variable boards.
The Cryptkins Kickstarter campaign launches today and runs through June 25, 2026, with pledge tiers starting at $40. Stretch goals, if unlocked, will add exclusive game cards and more for Cryptkins fans. Rewards are expected to ship to backers starting in March 2027.
