FROM TMNT TO ANCIENTZ: TOY LEGEND HOWARD 'QUIGGLY' CHANG LAUNCHES A FAITH-INSPIRED SCI-FI UNIVERSE FOR THE AI ERA

Biblical Heroes Reimagined As Robotic Warriors In A New Toy Collectible Line, Now Live On Kickstarter.



LOS ANGELES, CA — August 20, 2025 — As artificial intelligence reshapes every aspect of our world, Ancientz offers a different kind of vision—one rooted in history and the timeless values of biblical heroes. Launching today on Kickstarter, this new toy collectible line reimagines those figures as robotic warriors, merging ancient heroism with anime-inspired sci-fi design and setting the stage for a broader storytelling universe.

Created by Howard “Quiggly” Chang—renowned for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys in the late ’80s and ’90s—Ancientz is designed for more than display. Built with expansion in mind, it unites timeless values with futuristic imagination.

“In a time when AI can churn out countless creations, Ancientz draws from real human stories,” said Chang. “These aren’t random designs—they’re inspired by biblical heroes of courage, unity, and hope, reimagined with a human touch.”

Together with his wife and business partner Gloria Lee, Howard founded Glorius Inc. to launch Ancientz. Their vision blends faith-inspired storytelling with the energy of anime and comics, creating a property that resonates with collectors and fans of epic adventures.

The first wave includes six heroic Legends and two towering Villains, each with signature weapons, sculpted detail, and light-up features. Also debuting are Mini Ancientz—portable keychain versions so fans can carry their heroes anywhere.

“In today’s creative space, originality is more important than ever,” said Gloria Lee. “Ancientz merges timeless themes with visuals that can thrive across toys, animation, and beyond.”

The Kickstarter campaign is live now https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ancientz/ancientz , with an early backer bonus during the first week—up to 20% off rewards—giving collectors added incentive and the first chance to enter a universe rooted in human imagination yet bold enough for the AI era.
