And just like that, just right now.....the "Kevin" goal has unlocked, and the climb continues to "Logan".
Red and white once again! We've restored the classic look of JoeCanuck.
These figures are very nice. But i can see how some people are on the fence about ordering, especially with this stretch goal system for accessories set up the way it is.
For example: If i was only interested in ordering 6 urban ops marauders. That would run $118 inculding shipping. ( Great deal )
But if i want the matching grey/blue accessories for an additional $15 you have to wait till the stretch goal reaches 120 K. And if you wait till then to purchase you wont get any of the free stuff when a goal becomes unlocked.
Some people might not want to shell out $ 118 for figures with just a chance of getting the accessories they want.
They have already sold 62 k worth. There's probly another 60 k waiting to be had just from the people that are on the fence. I think, that the sales amount will creep up slowly over the next 2 weeks, and then once the stretch goals for the artic figures and black night ops stuff becomes unlocked, watch out! There gonna exceed there final stretch goal. I hope they do anyway.
Do these figures NOT come with weapons ? ( rifles, uzis, hand guns )Nope, but a set of excellent modern weapons can be bought from Marauder Gun-Runners to go with these figures.
NOT April Fools.
I was one of the few lucky enough to know about this beforehand. These look amazing, and. I plan on backing his Kickstarter for them.
fair enough, I just tend to be ultra skeptical of stuff launched on April 1, especially when it seems too good to be true.
That is a very nice rendition of those HB heroes. Here's my question to you: who or what are they running towards? They obviously should have a very good purpose to be leaping or sling shooting like that (and the rock was already thrown: so who got it on the face?)It's just a show pose, not intended to be part of any story. Consider it they are rushing heroically/gallantly towards trouble.
