Play With This Too...

[Paulbot]

Some pranksters/saboteurs pledging giant amounts, but never intending to pay, got caught by Kickstarter and had their accounts deleted. Some trolls on another board were bragging how they did it.

So you might say those fake bidders were... Pretenders?

For those interested, Duron "Weirdwolf" Land interviewed Rik Alvarez on a wrap up of the Kickstarters and his plans for the future.

Includes talk about what happened behind the scenes, some talk about the toy industry in general.

News:

1. They will be staying far away from Kickstarter.
2. The 6 inch figures on are on the back burner. It is possible they will get made if another company is interested in producing their design.
3. The weapons and tech drones they designed may go on to Shapeways for people to print out (please let them know if you are interested!).
4. Rik was approached by 2 different manufacturers at TFcon Charlotte. Some toys will end up getting made in partnership with another third party company with PWTToo doing design.

A 3P publishing them will probably be better thank a kickstarter

How can we let them know about the desire for Shapeways printing of them? Do hey have a contact address (I'm assuming they won't be reading the Kickstarter page, given what you said about far far away)

I'm sure they still get messages from their Kickstarter account.

Plus they have a web page, Facebook page, Twitter account, etc. Contact them at any or all of those places.
