Testing the waters
Added 2024-08-28 20:06:23 +0000 UTCTesting the waters on this, please read the full thing before commenting
So right now our two new product lines are scheduled to launch in Oct! The two lines will be our boney beasts and our mini lines. Each month will feature 3-4 boney beasts and 3-4 mins
Now with that we will be introducing 2 new price tiers:
10$ tier: just for the beasts and minis
20$ tier: beasts, minis and the usual cosplay stuff
So where does that leave our 15$ tier at? Well how I see it, our 15$ tier is known for cosplay and life size models. At this current price point we already offer more than enough value and these new product lines are extra bonuses, not only in number of models but in me paying more to have them made.
That said the 15$ tier is still loaded and I’m still putting in the proper investments needed for the future. I am currently testing out new modelers and if it works out they will be making models for us. That means there will be even more stuff coming for the 15$ tier.
I know some of you will not like this and might feel burned by this. But I truly have a hard time doing everything for just 15$. I am not against giving one mini and one beast to the 15$ tho
So to recap we will have three tiers moving forward:
10$ tier: minis and boney beasts only
15$ tier: the usual cosplay and life size models
20$ tier: minis, boney beasts and every thing from the 15$ tier
I am not against giving one mini and one beast to the 15$ a month tho. But giving all of them is hard for me to swallow for many reasons.
So this is where I’m at, i look forward to hearing what you all think

check your direct messages from Mitch you prob have a google drive link every month sent there you were subbed. not the group chat one but direct from him to you

2024-10-19 09:18:37 +0000 UTCI paid for the highest tier to support your art and get the occasional giant model!
Skyler
2024-10-11 23:28:39 +0000 UTCI am okay with the extra $5 if I choose to go in that direction . For all the work you do it's more than fair.

2024-10-03 00:45:27 +0000 UTCFor the higher price there should be some kind of way to have access to downloads we miss...I'm sick of missing releases because I download an unfinished folder. I have a life outside of this as well...I can't visit Patreon 4-5 times a month.
Mr. J
2024-09-16 09:06:12 +0000 UTCI agree, higher benefit, higher price, it's fair, excellent work and thanks for consulting
Alejandro García
2024-09-03 19:15:13 +0000 UTCHow i change?
Lutor
2024-09-02 21:37:53 +0000 UTC1 boney and 1 mini will suffice. It's not for everyone, but at least a token of appreciation for "standard" subscribers
jaybondo
2024-09-02 11:07:12 +0000 UTCIt's an extra $5. I'm ok with it.
Jon Chinnery
2024-08-31 08:21:02 +0000 UTCWould gladly upgrade to the $20 for everything that you do.
Justin A wirtner
2024-08-30 21:30:22 +0000 UTCAre the minis or recognizable characters or are they like the boney beats and of your own creation? I belong to another chibi mini creator patreon so im just curious if it would be beneficial to add this one and remove the other one I am subbed to.
Joe Martinez
2024-08-30 02:35:56 +0000 UTCI think that’s reasonable. I think it makes sense based on printers too, I’m sure a lot of people have both FDM and resin printers but most folks printing cosplay items and life size items are probably using FDM and those printing minis are using resin. In my case I only have FDM because I haven’t taken the dive into resin at this point. Why not split it up so you aren’t paying for the stuff you may not print anyways. I think it’s a good call the way you’re doing it. I’m also not against you tossing in a beast or mini here and there for the $15 tier but the way you’re doing it makes sense
Josh
2024-08-29 13:30:42 +0000 UTCYeah! go ahead brother, do whatever you need to keep your business on and to continue bringing us those amazing models =)
Andy Santos
2024-08-29 07:26:05 +0000 UTCYeah I’ll will gladly pay $5 Dollars more to have the minions and the Boney beast
K Hartwell
2024-08-29 05:02:58 +0000 UTCI’d be willing to give the $20 tier a shot. See if the minis and boney beast catch on and sell.
Brian Lynn
2024-08-29 02:19:47 +0000 UTC5$ more to have the mini beast already prepare with colors and also some mini? im in of course
Silver
2024-08-28 23:18:27 +0000 UTCI will gladly jump to the $20 tier for this. Honestly you've built enough here to warrant it. Good luck!
Nick Calderon
2024-08-28 23:13:54 +0000 UTCI'd be more than willing to pay the extra $5 well worth it!
Craig McGregor
2024-08-28 22:40:42 +0000 UTC$5 more a month for all of it is not to much to ask for in my opinion. I'm down and I'll pay the $20
Jason Bedell
2024-08-28 22:26:48 +0000 UTCI'd be interested in the boney beasts and minis I think the kiddos would like those
David P
2024-08-28 22:26:01 +0000 UTCWill we need to upgrade for October to get the minis as well correct? I’m down for that! Been waiting so long for Boney!
Leandro Pereira
2024-08-28 22:18:49 +0000 UTClove the growth Im down w the sickness baby lets goooooo
IntheWrkz
2024-08-28 22:12:47 +0000 UTCThe mini and bones don't really appeal to me. I love your cosplay stuff and will stay subscribed to it. But I think your 3 tier pricing is more than fair
Hawaii
2024-08-28 21:57:27 +0000 UTCIm game for this im already in the $15 tier and am extra $5 for the boneys and minis is a no brainer.
Cory Lafond
2024-08-28 21:41:28 +0000 UTCThe extra $5 is fine for the new stuff. Really looking forward for the boneys.
Chad
2024-08-28 21:40:41 +0000 UTCWill the 15$ tier get to choose which one of beast/mini they want?
Wali Ifzal
2024-08-28 21:16:17 +0000 UTCdoes this mean that the minis will be ready to print files?
GerryMon
2024-08-28 21:12:21 +0000 UTCDefenatly paying for extra work ❤️ best work ive seen ✌🏽
zikx
2024-08-28 21:10:22 +0000 UTCDefinitely willing to upgrade to the $20 tier. Super excited for the minis and boney beasts!
Chase Makes Stuff
2024-08-28 21:10:04 +0000 UTCYeah I'll be paying $20/mo for some quality models starting in Oct. Super excited
FileForge3D
2024-08-28 21:01:50 +0000 UTCthought about doing a pick and mix? $10 for one category either cosplay,minis or full size then extra $5 for each add on?
daz
2024-08-28 20:54:57 +0000 UTCI think an extra $5 for 8 models would be well worth it! Your stuff is fantastic and as long as the minis don't take away from it I think you gave great options
joe Cool
2024-08-28 20:54:13 +0000 UTCYo creo que esta bastante bien :3
PaLeZUM
2024-08-28 20:49:55 +0000 UTCWelp, I just joined for life size Pokemon and cosplay. I may jump to $20 pending on previews of those, and the minis. What scale will the minis be at, what will the themes be?
LiesureLee Minis
2024-08-28 20:44:51 +0000 UTCBoth new tiers make sense. Like others said, as long as the $15 stays consistent (like you alluded to in the post) Yosh Studios will be a no brainer sub. Your quality and value are unmatched. Personally, I would be down for the minis and boney as long as we can have polls to at least choose some of them. There is infinite options on minis so voting would guide it towards the demand. Also, I saw that the boney are colored 3mfs, would the minis be as well?
Christian Vargas
2024-08-28 20:42:44 +0000 UTCYa. I'm interested in the boney beasts and cosplay more than minis. 15 for what I get is great and I may just have to budget another 5 bucks in the end. I've been looking forward to the initial boney beasts for awhile now
antonio purciarele
2024-08-28 20:42:09 +0000 UTCThis is more than fair. You are giving options, so anyone who isn't interested has nothing to worry about and those who are, can upgrade. I'd say only in the beginning, give 1 Dino and 1 mini, using those to basically show what it would be like, and that would be advertising for those who may want to move up but would like to see the model first.
DragonPrintz
2024-08-28 20:40:32 +0000 UTCYou do what’s right for you. If you feel you’re doing more work and want to offer more but want to get paid for it then do it as you see fit. If people appreciate your work, which I feel most or all do, then it works. If we dont want the extra or can’t afford it then we have to just get what we pay for. As a business owner myself, I have the same issue. I want to make everyone happy and feel guilty for asking for more but in the end it burns me out and I will end up quitting. You have a good thing going and I’m sure everyone would rather have your services than not.
spicy dodo
2024-08-28 20:39:24 +0000 UTCI’d be happy to update to the $20 tier for the mini and beasts. I think that is completely reasonable. You already have a great selection and by adding something different and giving us options is fantastic
Twisted Prints 3D
2024-08-28 20:38:45 +0000 UTCSeems fair to me.
Lance Wood
2024-08-28 20:36:23 +0000 UTCFair enough, not sure if i’m interested in the minis. Perhaps seeing them will motivate me to upgrade. And as mentioned by someone, i’m pretty sure people have not been subbed to other modeler on patreon, because the quality and amount of work put in each 15€ release is insane.
Nani
2024-08-28 20:34:33 +0000 UTCVery interested in the Boney Beast line. If they print well I am happy to upgrade to the $20 tier to get several per month.
Maurice Wilcox
2024-08-28 20:32:23 +0000 UTCEchoing what others seem to agree with. 15$ for cosplay files is what I signed up for. Not interested in Bones and minis. If the cosplay files slow down to compensate for the new categories. I don't think I'd stick around. Just being honest.
Art Perez
2024-08-28 20:31:44 +0000 UTCI'm currently in the $15 tier and not interested in the minis, but I have been waiting for the boneys. If I cant get them at the current level an extra $5 is totally worth it.
Ben Wagner
2024-08-28 20:29:37 +0000 UTCI've been here since the beginning because of the cosplay stuff so if it stays the same I'll carry on supporting, the minis and bones don't really appeal to me sorry especially going off just 1 pic, maybe bit into what you plan to release so we have ideas of what is included might help people give more of an opinion on it
Jonathan Ogden
2024-08-28 20:29:05 +0000 UTCNot sure I like the minis...the bones are cute though. I joined though for the high quality cosplay stuff. I have other people I subscribe to for the dragons and off stuff. I know figurines are super popular but so far they haven't been popular sale items.
Anthony Agee
2024-08-28 20:27:58 +0000 UTCOk, im at 14.50 for some reason, but I will up myself to 20 for full access with right to sell. The prop maker industry is getting as diluted as pop figures and most patreons are selling out to corps. If you are brining us truly unique models that every other patreon isnt uploading the day after i have no problem paying. If its like everyone on the heldivers kick and yosh was the only one doing different im in.
Irish Justin
2024-08-28 20:26:35 +0000 UTCThat boney beast is cute are they one piece?
315retro
2024-08-28 20:25:40 +0000 UTCI don't really Care about the Boney and the mini's. As long as the Cosplay content stays the same i don't Care. If it become less files im out.
Sebastian Mendez
2024-08-28 20:24:45 +0000 UTCI think it sounds reasonable. Neither the boneys nor the mini appeal to me though, so i'm glad you dont change the basic deal. Carry on Soldier.
Yogi Bär
2024-08-28 20:24:19 +0000 UTCMore than fair .
Joshua de La Torre
2024-08-28 20:24:17 +0000 UTCAs others have mentioned, i also have 0% interest in the new products. I’m fine with the $15 tier but i will be dissapointed if content delivery is lessened to concentrate more on this new line of products
John M
2024-08-28 20:23:37 +0000 UTCNot for me , signed up for the cosplay stuff only and have only printed maybe a handful of files over the past year, but its been worth the money...happy to stick at 15
PHNX-666
2024-08-28 20:23:00 +0000 UTCMaybe give like you say 1 mini and 1 bone away for a month or 2. I would like to see how they are and will probably upgrade in the end
filharvey
2024-08-28 20:22:17 +0000 UTCIt would be nice if you had a launch pack of the bones and minis so we can get a better idea of the overall style. Hard to tell with just 1 pic of each
Josh Ledger
2024-08-28 20:21:59 +0000 UTCI'm happy to upgrade
Jon Bloor
2024-08-28 20:20:56 +0000 UTCAnother $5 for quality files? Sign me up.
Prints of Darkness LLC
2024-08-28 20:19:08 +0000 UTCDo we get minis right now with the $15
BRTechFix
2024-08-28 20:17:54 +0000 UTCThe bones idk about the minis will be my option the bones are cute but I'll give em a shot for an extra 5 bucks 🤷🏻♂️
Matthew Simons
2024-08-28 20:17:36 +0000 UTCWell guess I'm upgrading to the $20 tier.
James Kerbel
2024-08-28 20:17:31 +0000 UTCYeah I agree I probably won’t print any of the bonnys or minis I like the life sized stuff. But honestly as long as he keeps up with the same volume he does now I’m not worried about the price because his stuff is super good quality
Chris
2024-08-28 20:17:30 +0000 UTCNot why I joined, plenty of others out their doing minis etc, but I will stay at the $15 tier as that is what I like that you bring to the table, the cosplay and life sized stuff. To each his own.
Frederick A Williams
2024-08-28 20:16:33 +0000 UTCI’ll upgrade for the minis and bones
Stephen Clark jr
2024-08-28 20:15:47 +0000 UTCTotally understand from your point of view and have no issues with you having to do what is needed to be successful and bring great products to people.
Joshua S. A.
2024-08-28 20:15:40 +0000 UTCSo the boney guy is now like yosh studios mascot? He will have different skins and boney friends monthly. Hmm
edebitty
2024-08-28 20:14:56 +0000 UTCI’m excited for the new lines and am happy to pay $20 for everything. Thanks for all the hard work
Justin Harrison
2024-08-28 20:14:42 +0000 UTCThis is reasonable tbh for the amount of stuff you typically put out. Anyone saying otherwise is just cheap. You're already the best value patreon I've personally seen.
Estel
2024-08-28 20:14:20 +0000 UTCJust tell me how to upgrade from 15 to 20 and I'll do it today. You give a ton of value already, and you deserve it.
Mickey
2024-08-28 20:14:09 +0000 UTCGenuine input here: I am 0% interested in the new products. Not my style or why I subbed in the first place. As long as we get life sized mons and cosplay stuff at the 15tier and that doesn't change as far as content delivery, by all means charge more for the extra inclusions and the people that do enjoy them. But I would feel pretty snubbed if the current tier got lessened or dissolved over this new line of content. Not that one voice makes the masses but again, just putting my 2 cents in the pile!
Jeff Steele
2024-08-28 20:13:57 +0000 UTCThat sounds fair to me. I don't have much interest in minis or boney beast. So sticking to the $15 tier will be perfect for me.
Juan Colon
2024-08-28 20:13:56 +0000 UTCDoes this mean less time will be spent developing models for the cosplay/life-size since you're introducing more work/additional models? If cosplay/full size tier doesn't see reduced output I don't see any issue but if there are less models released due to the additional models for other tiers that would be unfortunate.
Larry
2024-08-28 20:13:43 +0000 UTCI do feel burned by this. I might even just cancel my sub.
SGarrett
2024-08-28 20:13:41 +0000 UTCYou guys do great work and give us alot for 15 dollars I would probably upgrade to the 20.
gregory s haines
2024-08-28 20:13:19 +0000 UTCYour the Boss
Hugo Martinho
2024-08-28 20:12:46 +0000 UTCI think it's reasonable $5 extra a month for 8 extra models. I'm in 👍👍
Gooner4life7
2024-08-28 20:12:18 +0000 UTCis the $20 tier going to have rewards?
Sergio Beckner
2024-08-28 20:12:15 +0000 UTCI'll still have permission to sell cosplay print with the 15bucks tier?
Augustin Mazet
2024-08-28 20:12:13 +0000 UTCSounds good to me!
Mato Hannah
2024-08-28 20:11:57 +0000 UTCI'm down for an extra 5 for more stuff!!!
James
2024-08-28 20:11:41 +0000 UTCPersonally for the amount that most of us probably spend on files I don’t see the 20 tier an issue. I think it’s a great idea! These files will definitely be fun to print and create content with
Ivan
2024-08-28 20:11:33 +0000 UTCI’m good with this, I’d like a couple but it’s not my thing so my $15 will still serve me well, If I didn’t get any I wouldn’t feel hard done to. I think the $10 is good for people opposite to me tho it’s a fair price for good minis.
Luka_Con
2024-08-28 20:11:22 +0000 UTCThe quality of work you and the team produce is honestly outstanding. Don't ever feel bad for asking for more money when providing more and more models.
Joe Johnson
2024-08-28 20:11:06 +0000 UTCSounds fair to me. I’ll upgrade!
Michael Creel
2024-08-28 20:11:04 +0000 UTCSeems fair to me!
TRAVELwithSHAZZ
2024-08-28 20:10:14 +0000 UTCI’m fine with the way you think it should be it’s a new product added so of course it should be a tiny bit more added on
Eric Pinks
2024-08-28 20:10:07 +0000 UTCMakes sense. Sign me up for the 20 all day long
