==Kickstart the KA-POW Revolution!== [[File:KA-POWRevolution.jpg|thumb|The thumbnail for the ''Kickstart the KA-POW Revolution!'' video.]] On April 19, 2011, a promotional video titled ''Kickstart the KA-POW Revolution!'' was uploaded on the official ''Happy Tree Friends'' website under the ''{{PAGENAME}}'' category. Styled after USSR propaganda posters, the video and Kickstarter page explained that Mondo Art Department (abbreviated as M.A.D.) wanted to create more ''{{PAGENAME}}'' episodes, but lack of budget prevented them from doing so. The FAQ section also brought up this issue under the question "Even after the Kickstarter expenses, that still looks like a lot for an episode?", which also addressed the reason behind the ''Happy Tree Friends'' show's hiatus at the time. As a result, this project was made. To further attract fans, Mondo made it so that funding on higher tiers would allow fans to influence ''{{PAGENAME}}'''s production, from merely deciding which star character would receive the episode up to becoming the Executive Producer of the new episode and being mentioned in the credits as such. The tiers were as follows: *'''PROTESTOR LEVEL:''' Required a minimum pledge of $1 or more. Backers for this tier would receive The Digital Download Pack consisting of laptop and mobile wallpapers, avatars, and a Ka-Pow Revolutionary Membership certificate. *'''SOLDIER LEVEL:''' Required a minimum pledge of $29 or more (plus $6 more for international backers). This tier was split into three categories based on the show's star characters Flippy, Splendid, and Buddhist Monkey, functioning as the project's voting system. The character with the most votes would have his episode made if the project were successful. In addition to The Digital Download Pack, backers for this tier would receive an exclusive T-shirt bearing the character they voted for, 3 Ka-Pow Revolution propaganda postcards, an 11x17 Ka-Pow Revolution propaganda poster bearing the character they voted for, and the "SOLDIER" title on the ''Happy Tree Friends'' website. *'''OFFICER LEVEL:''' Required a minimum pledge of $199 or more (plus $6 more for international backers). In addition to the ability to vote and previous tier's rewards, backers would have their names on the credits of the new episode, access to behind-the-scenes movies, access to the sneak preview of the episode before it would go live, and a digital HD download of the episode. As for the poster, it would be signed by Kenn Navarro himself. The backers' title would be shown as "OFFICER" on the ''Happy Tree Friends'' website. *'''DICTATOR LEVEL:''' Required a minimum pledge of $4,999 or more. Backers for this tier would directly influence episode production like naming the episode and be recognized as the Executive Producer on the credits. Because of this, unlike the SOLDIER and OFFICER tiers, there was no voting system. This also influenced the rewards, allowing these backers to supposedly receive exclusive T-shirts, postcards, and posters (all posters signed by Kenn Navarro) of all three star characters. In addition to the previous tier's rewards, backers would be able to access behind-the-scenes art and other media during production (not just movies), have production meetings with the production team as the Executive Producer, receive the entire ''Happy Tree Friends'' DVD catalog (''[[Happy Tree Friends: Overkill]]'', ''[[Happy Tree Friends - Winter Break]]'', and ''[[Happy Tree Friends Complete TV Season One]]''), receive original production art/sketch from the new episode framed and signed by Kenn Navarro, and an exclusive 24<nowiki>''</nowiki>x24<nowiki>''</nowiki> fine art painting on canvas featuring the ''{{PAGENAME}}'' character of the backer's choice by Kenn Navarro. The backers' title would be shown as "DICTATOR" on the ''Happy Tree Friends'' website. The project's goal was $24,999 and the deadline was May 30, 2011. If the pledge reached double the goal, an additional episode would be made starring the second most voted character. If it reached triple the goal, then all three star characters would get new episodes. Unfortunately, by the end of the deadline, only $2,966 was reached, rendering the project unsuccessful. <gallery> KA-POWRevolutionGifts.png|Exclusive Ka-Pow Revolution T-shirt and poster designs.
