Hey everyone, just got an email from Marauder John a few minutes ago with a pretty cool announcement:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1732159183/marauder-task-force-gaming-figures

They are making their own action figures. If you look at the link to the Kickstarter page, you'll see the samples they have in mind and the pledge offers.

I'm not a shill for them, but I am a fan and a supporter of their first Kickstarter project, and I have to say they treated me very well with their first project.

If you've not tried their products, they are VERY well made, very detailed and very good quality.
I have no doubts that these figures will be as good as or better than their weapons sets.
They've got a really neat concept going for these figures and they have loads of options.
I signed up for one of the pledge packages without hesitating.

With GIJOE being in a bit of a drought, these are some pretty neat add-ons and complimentary figures for the Joes.

um, April Fools?

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.

this looks pretty awesome.

fair enough, I just tend to be ultra skeptical of stuff launched on April 1, especially when it seems too good to be true.

I threw in for a trio. Neat how they're customizable. Almost like Pit Commandos.

On their Facebook page, the foolish date was mentioned, and MJ specifically said that was the reason they launched this YESTERDAY, and not today. Still, the date is going to hook people, but this is legit. 
As of this morning, less than 12 hrs after launch, they are 1/3rd of the way to their base goal.

As I said before, if you've bought into their first Kickstarter, or bought their series 7 stuff (or ANY of their stuff) it's all first-rate. I thought they treated me very well with their series 7 and add-on project  and had loads of stuff to share with a pal, and still have lots left over.

 They WILL be selling the figures on their site after this initial Kickstarter, so you can "wait & see" or jump in on the ground floor.

I went for the 2 of each set!

[GI.Suicide]

with each figure do you get the same amount of matching accesories?
These look awesome!

Same here. I've supported them before and have no problems backing him again.

Just a quick note: it appears that the project will meet its base goal of $30,000 pledge tonite, a mere 24 hrs after starting!
There's still a full 28 days left to raise pledges for the stretch goals.
That means the basic set sets will be a GO, and all we need to  (the lion's share of the pledging now) is get the stretch goals met to sweeten an already sweet deal!

Too bad he is not making these in o-ring...
