90k?

Doubt they will get there

Yeah it's not looking optimistic. They have to make 65k more in just 25 days.

I don't really have much experience with toy Kickstarters, I've backed more than a few miniature game ones and some have gone stratospheric. 90 grand is a fair ask, but not to crazy from the manufacturing side, but perhaps a bit tricky for an unknown company that has never produced anything before which means there already a little risky.

Not knowing how much it costs to engage a factory to build these guys, it's hard to say how fair their prices are, but it does seem there is little incentive to jump on the Kickstarter beyond just getting one each of the two molds. Their previous KS was too ambitious, perhaps the pendulum has now swung to far in the other direction.

I dunno other Kickstarters I've seen offer special deals to the first 100 backers, or with regards to some of the possible stretch goals maybe they could have said once they reach a certain threshold all versions of this mold get and extra accessory free. To me those sort of incentives always seem to do well as every time the KS goes up high enough everyone wins, so people start pushing the KS to their friends and they get free advertising of a sort.

Anyway not sure if it applies in this case, but just my musings.

To compare with some other action figure kickstarters (using US prices, your shipping may vary of course).

Boneyard, a 6 inch figure with lots of accessories, is $39 for a figure, and the Kickstarter needs to raise $90,000.

There is a 6 inch ninja action figure with few accessories on Kickstarter right now which costs $45 for one figure (and goes up from there for more complicated figures), and they have a $150,000 goal.

There is also a 4 inch skeleton warrior that's looking for $15 for a skeleton and $25 for a more complicated figure. They are looking to raise $50,000.

So Play With This Too seems to be between those other two.

We just got a run cycle video for Jetstrike:

Also his biography, which may explain why he's a "good guy" in their fiction... he has no choice!

JETSTRIKE

Scion of the Sacred Flame

"This power chose me, what I do with it is my business."

For ten millennia the Striker Fleet fought in the galactic arenas to protect life from the force of evil, going so far as to turn evil's power against the Null Miasma itself. The Fleet brooks no defectors, deserters, or thieves and only one being has ever eluded Flarestrike's trackers: the man calling himself Jetstrike.

A small time thief and con artist, he found the body of the original Jetstrike, still clad in its living Aegis armor, on a distant desert world. Donning the armor himself, the thief was shocked to find the living armor accepted and bonded to him. For a time "Jetstrike" ran cons on frontier worlds, posing as a hero to get rewards and resources before fleeing to the next colony, with Flarestrike hot on his trail the whole time. It was raw luck that crossed his path with Boneyard and his Lost Protectors. Forced to pretend to be the former Jetstrike's promoted squire, Jetstrike joined their ranks for protection and to take their armor for himself if they fall in battle.

As Gate Keeper, Boneyard knows Jetstrike's ambitions, but he knows the Aegis he wears and believes there is hope for Jetstrike. This brash, wild spirit may be the Scion of the Sacred Flame, as prophesied by Catastrophles' himself. The Aegis limits Jetstrike's access to his power, rewarding him with more when his better nature shines through. Boneyard sees Jetstrike's skill and power grow with hope, but Jetstrike fears the day his new comrades discover his secret.

See I thought the reason they all resemble each other is because they were reusing the mold, but there's a plot reason for repaints? Cool!

[Juggernaut]

Wierd, was up to 39k and has now dropped down to 27k. How does 12k just go missing? This is never gona happen

It was a pretty ballsy target they were shooting for. I really think they should have been less ambitious, gone for just one figure. Once we had it in our hands, people would have seen how cool the concept was, and bought the next kickstarter

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.

I agree, smaller target 1 figure

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

It's a shame that this doesn't look like it's going to fly. It has a team that is passionate about what they're doing with what seems like a cool idea. I backed the last one but not this one because I wanted the Desolataur figure and he's not an option here. Plus I have to watch my money. But I would have liked to see it get up.
