Garrett Sander, the creator of Monster High has launched his own toy line called Gravestone Guardians, which are a line of Action Dolls that are in scale to the 1980’s She-Ra line, and other lines. Garrett needs your support on this to get this line into a reality, so make sure to back Vampsyphone now on Backerkit.
The Story:
The Gravestone Guardians are the last hope as ghoulactic defenders of the Planet Monsteria, against the Evil Queen Infestatia and her Swarm Army!
Queen Infestatia has taken over much of the Ghoulverse. Turning the inhabitants of planet after planet into her mindless drones, adding them to her ever-growing ruthless Swarm Army!
Using the powers of the ancient Gravestones, can the Gravestone Guardians stop the evil invasion and save their Planet Monsteria, and the entire Ghoulverse?
