Special 15mm China Collection Pack

Over the past year, my wife and I have been in the process of adopting a 2 year old boy from China. We are going to name him Caleb Robson McBride and our family (including big brother Archer and big sisters Winnie and Meg) is very excited to bring him home. The cost of adoption from China, including travel is roughly $35k. One of the ways we plan to raise the money for this adoption is through selling this pack, which costs $25. 


China Collection


One of the most amazing aspects of this project thus far is how generous our sculptors, moldmaker, and casting company have been.  I want to thank Sandra Garrity for her great work on the Kirin; give special thanks to Rodrick Campbell for his great work and donation of the Chinese Warrior sculpt; and also many thanks to Faron Betchley, who not only sculpted the Chinese Princess for free but took it upon himself to add the Chinese Dragon, 2 Foo Dogs, 2 Pandas, a Fox Spirit, and a Panda Kung Fu Master for free.

Foo Dogs


Also, many thanks to Terry Ruff, who donated his time spent on the master mold and production mold for this set as well as to Connie and Russ at Old Glory 28s, who donated rubber for the two molds as well as the first 23 sets.  The kindness and generosity of these wonderful folk have truly touched my family's heart.


Kirin with 3 Different Paint Styles


After we have paid for the adoption, $22 of every set sold will go to House of Grace, the foster home in China that has taken such great care of our boy thus far and is a home to 15 precious children at a time. They live by faith for resources to come and do a great job with what they are given. It is our hope and prayer that we will be able to support them and their work long after Caleb is home with us.

When will these be available for sale on your website?

Also, may I use the photos here on my blogs and in The Aethergraph to help advertise?
