A Toys and Games Company That Builds Worlds

SNOWPLOW REMUS

The toy is inspired by the early mechanical wind-up vehicles that once filled toy shops and department stores.

Santa’s War

Snowplow Remus is not an ordinary snowplow.

Originally built as a heavy winter road machine, Remus was later modified into a strange mechanical war vehicle that now leads Santa Lux’s traveling party through the harshest blizzards and frozen battlefields.

With a massive steel plow mounted to the front of a heavily armored chassis, Remus pushes through snowbanks, barricades, and battlefield wreckage with relentless determination.

Once the wind-up spring is released, the machine lurches forward and clears everything in its path.

Snow, debris, and obstacles disappear beneath the enormous plow blade as Remus slowly advances through the frozen world.

Help bring Snowplow Remus to life.

Character Role in Santa’s War

Snowplow Remus serves as the pathfinder machine for Santa Lux’s traveling convoy.

Where the roads vanish beneath deep winter storms, Remus pushes forward and carves a path through the snow.

Remus rarely stops moving once activated, and his enormous plow can shove aside almost anything standing in the way.

Fun Facts: The Mechanical Toy Guild of Septentria

• The Collegium Automatarum is the mechanical toy guild of Septentria responsible for building clockwork toys, wind-up machines, and moving automata.

• Mechanical toys from the guild are traditionally made using tin, steel springs, and brass gears rather than plastic parts.

• Guild engineers specialize in spring-powered mechanisms, the same principle used in watches and clockwork devices.

• Every machine built by the guild carries a guild stamp identifying its origin in Septentria.

• Some guild workshops are known for producing tiny automaton soldiers, marching toys, and mechanical animals.
• Mechanical toys are considered the most technically complex toys produced by the guild system.

Fun Facts: The Latin Language

• Latin was the language spoken by the ancient Romans and later became the foundation for many European languages.

• Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian are all called Romance languages because they evolved from Latin.

• Latin is still used today in science, medicine, law, and taxonomy.

• Many modern words come directly from Latin roots, including mechanical, industrial, and military terminology.

• Latin was historically the language of scholars, engineers, and inventors across Europe.

• The word “automaton” used for mechanical devices comes from ancient classical languages describing self-moving machines.

Materials

This toy is designed to be built using durable traditional toy materials.

• Tin and steel structural parts

• Cast metal components

• Natural rubber wheels

• Internal spring wind-up mechanism

• Hand-assembled mechanical components

The goal is to create a toy that feels like the classic metal mechanical toys of earlier generations.

Fun Facts: Wind-Up Mechanical Toys

• Wind-up toys operate using a coiled spring that stores mechanical energy when a key is turned.

• When the spring slowly unwinds, it powers gears and wheels that create motion.

• Some of the earliest wind-up toys were produced in Germany and Japan in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

• Classic wind-up toys were often made from tinplate metal, which allowed them to be both durable and lightweight.

• Many vintage mechanical toys featured marching soldiers, animals, cars, and trains.

• Well-made mechanical toys can still function many decades after they were built, which is why collectors still value them today.

What This Project Creates

This campaign funds the creation of the Multi Desperati mechanical toy set, part of the expanding Santa’s War toy world.

The finished product will include:

• Mechanical toy vehicles and characters

• Durable metal and rubber components

• Hand-assembled parts built in-house

• Packaging connected to the Santa’s War universe

These toys are designed to feel like classic mechanical toys, inspired by the durable metal playthings of earlier generations.

Support the Project

This campaign helps fund the creation of the Snowplow Remus mechanical wind-up toy and expands the growing world of Santa’s War.

Support helps fund:

• toy design and illustration

• mechanical prototyping

• tooling and molds

• first production run

With enough support, Snowplow Remus will become the first machine in a larger line of mechanical Santa’s War vehicles.
