Dude, it's a platypus....what's not to love?  

 

We are four platypi away from breaking 55K!

 

Completely. The discover-ability on their site's pretty terrible as well... but does give a bit more inherent visibility being the most well-known crowdfunding site.

Without having seen stats, I tend to doubt most people alter pledges. And speaking personally I'm likely to lose track of end dates... so I'm in for a couple as a vote of good faith and because I know I won't regret one each of the "normal" coloured initial figures, but would be quite irritated to put in much more in the hope of getting the one I really want and faced with allocating the pledge amount to things I'm not interested in.

International backers are already likely to be hit by additional customs charges unless that aspect's taken care of by the shipping company prior to dispatch (if it can be, making that clear would doubtless strengthen non-US support, and I'd throw in for a shirt and print set irrespective of whether other figures get made). Whilst I know some sites offer this, not sure how straightforward the logistics are.

The chainsaw thing's a nice touch, thanks.  

 

Again

 

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before - but are there plans for a not-Bludgeon? I always thought he was a pretty big fan favorite. Surprised we haven't seen any mock-ups for him (or maybe there was and I missed it).

I always thought him and Thunderwing were the most popular pretenders.

 

We have not seen any skeletal samuri figures, and possibly that might be because Hasbro made one in ROTF, so it's a low demand character to make again. Sure, I'd buy it. Heck, just put the skull Head Shot on the Wastelander body with a sword in hand and you are pretty close to Bluegeon.

 

Mmm. Got the ROTF one but would be in for an action figure, and as Scaleface says an existing body might work. Ditto for Thunderwing.

 

We're at $55,000 again.


Hopefully we don't go under this again.  

 

I guess BBTS DOES order some figures from kick starters after all. They just put up preorders for last year's KS Skeleton Warriors Baron Dark figure.

Hopefully that means once we hit the $80,000 goal, they WILL order some of these after all.


*fingers crossed*

 

I believe the idea of that Kickstarter and this one is to "kickstart" the project so they can make the moulds and have money to make enough versions for retail as well.

 

That Splatterpus seems to have set things on fire. The day started 900 down because first thing in the morning someone dropped from the All In option, and now they are $500 up from yesterday! Legions of Splatterpus' are coming!

 

All hail the Splatterpus.  

 

If I may take a little credit as the chief predicter of this wonder:

A post from me, on September 25th, 2014, a day after Astroblast's uncolored art was revealed. The first part of my statement was wrong, but the second was dead on!

 

Rik can confirm or deny, but when Rik was looking for funders last year the word going around was Joel at bbts was putting 10-20k into this project.

 

As of right now BBTS itself hasn't pledged to our campaign, but some of their employees may have?

 

All I know is that I'm not looking at the page for a day or two again, because watching folks continuously cancel their pledges before we make it to the $56,000 mark is really starting to torque my chain now.  

 

Just went all in on the mythic legions ks. Definitely interested in this, and will probably do the same. Will these figures be painted or weathered at all?

 

I'm jealous man, I had to choose one or the other, but definitely would've gone all in with the Mythic Legions if I could've afforded to.

 

Thanks for opening up Catastropheles as an option for the $55; I switched over to that. It's a big move from Eternia to Cybertron and he needs a new body.

 

Some of my IM hot toys are being sacrificed to fund the mythic legion. A bit of a last hoorah, as we just found out last night that baby #2 is on the way.
