Jon Walsh's "Stormies" Kickstarter Project Canceled!

The previously announced Kickstarter campaign to fund the resin cast Stormies release by Jon Walsh has been canceled by Walsh. This project had become a rather polarizing item on the Kidrobot Forums and, as per Walsh's official statement:

After speaking further with legal consult, I have decided to cancel this Kickstarter project immediately. As this project resembles too closely the property of another, it is not in good faith to continue on. What this means for you [if you backed this project,] is that no money will be collected from you when the project ends, as it would have if it went on to completion. No rewards will be given out and no pieces will be created by myself or anyone else. I appreciate all the support the project has received. It was well beyond my expectations and I am so grateful to the people who so quickly supported it in the early hours. Unfortunately at this time it is just not meant to be.

To reiterate, Walsh has decided to end the Kickstarter on his own. No money is being collected from the Kickstarter and no Stormies are being made, including if you purchased one of the customs by Nikejerk, Fuller, Ian Z (aka Ian Ziobrowski), UNCLE, JFury, Halfbad (aka Adam Pratt), Nick Curtis / Trust Pigs, Shez, or 2bitHACK. Our apologies to anyone disappointed by this turn of events.
