PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The aim of this campaign is to solve one of humanity's most urgent and pressing problems: the complete lack of fully functional, realistic human scrotum apparel available in the world today.
Although the video may suggest otherwise, this is an actual and legitimate project.
The aim of this campaign is to produce sturdy, functional, durable, high quality and of course stylish Scrote'n'Tote backpacks to be made available to aesthetes all over the world.
The funding goal of $33,000 will cover the cost of producing the mold for the skin textured part of the bag, which is the biggest pre-production expense. The money also covers various smaller research costs including testing out different materials, different methods for attaching the skin part to the backpack part, producing various prototypes, quality tests, trying out different production facilities in different locations to see who can make the best product, etc.
The Scrote'n'Tote prototype you see in the images was produced by hand by special effects prosthetics artist C.J. Goldman and is too heavy and delicate to be used as a proper backpack, on top of costing almost $1000 to produce per bag, which is why we can't use that method or materials.
Once we've produced something functional and sturdy that looks as close to the original as possible, we'll sell the Scrote'n'Totes online for $120 USD each, plus shipping. However, everyone who donated $10 will be entitled to buy one for only $69 plus shipping, as well as getting the satisfaction of knowing that they helped bring the gift of scrotes into the world.
There's also the option to put the whole $69 down right away which saves you the extra $10.
RISKS AND CHALLENGES
The main challenge is to make sure the final product looks as close to the prototype as possible while being fully functional, spacious, lightweight, durable etc. There will be some experimentation with various materials, though by now we have a pretty good idea of which materials will be used and what the costs will be.
Thankfully, one of the partners in this endeavour actually runs a handbag manufacturing company so we have a very realistic understanding of the costs, work and processes involved, and thus these numbers are based on years of experience in the field of handbag and backpack production, not just random estimates, or second hand opinions.
This lady sums up the entire thread. Worth watching.
