Ah nice thanks for the link, I have backed your kickstarter, I like the different sets available, got any other pics to share..... ?? :D
-
Nice figures :)
-
Will be posting new pics Sunday or Monday.
Thanks
Philip.
-
Yay for new pics...... ninja pls ;D
-
Very nice models. I just backed it. Hope it will succeed and quickly grow!
-
Do you have an estimate on shipping costs to Europe?
-
Will check with USPS Monday 25th on shipping to europe. Have some new pictures on blog. Will post on kickstarter asap.
Thanks philip
-
Dont have a weight or address but cost is prohibitive. $50-70 USD for 1st class to 6-10 days. Don't think weight or size really matters much unless over pounds.
Philip
-
Thanks. Out of my range but good luck with the campaign.

That's far too much. Postage to Europe should be $10-20...otherwise you'll lose a potentially large market (and me as a backer).
-
What the post office could tell me with the little information I have. I will ship at the lowest amount possible.
Philip.
-
Ignore the post on shipping may have a distributor in Europe. Will post when I know more.

That's very (VERY!) good news!!!
I hope, it'll push the project, because this will also mean we don't have to pay taxes, right?

Hi Philip - does the RoW shipping plan include Canada or are you able to estimate specific rates for here? I'm already in for a chunk (3 of the 4 factions plus extras) but it'd help to have an estimate.
Thanks,
Chris
-
Good idea to resolve the European shipping problem, and the $25 pledge level is very welcome because of the flexibility it gives.
-
Canada is included in the 50% off shipping. Sorry can't give a estimate because not sure of weight and i dont want to speculate. Item will be shipped from lexington kentucky 40516.
Thanks for the support
Philip.

Thanks Philip.

FREE FOR ALL BACKERS that pledge $25 or more, this magnificent set of 7 Unarmored Samurai.
These 7 Samurai take the range over 200 different variants, and there will be more in the future.

Backed. :)
-
I raised my pledge, but still we are not funded. Strangely most big newsportals ignore this KS...why?
-
Yes, this one is going to be close. Great range of miniatures with a lot of potential but very little visibility around the web.
Hard to get the majority of gamers to look outside the constraint of 28mm though.
Further expansion of the Japanese Mythic creatures should be a priority if it does fund and go into production. There are a lot of 15mm Samurai out there but only limited options on the folklore side.

Samurai Fantasy Miniatures Update.
With 3 days to go FREE FOR ALL BACKERS that pledge $25 or more, this Oriental Dragon.

mhmm, 15mm is a popular scale... despite the attempt to belittle it from the 28mm (or 20mm for that matter) crowd... lol I think it is more a question of 'monopoly'. The big KS news outlets tend to be more focused on larger miniatures and shiny overpromising (rather than solid) KS. If oyu look at Tabletopfix it is always crammed of boardgame with miniatures projects... or crappy accessories. In fairness I saw the ad ther,e but it was literally submerged in the noise of other KS. Less the case with wargames news and terrain but again there is too much going on. Beast of War tends to focus only on big brand names... I think there is also a bit of KS fatigue and over-advertising everywhere. It is a shame because the troops here looks promising...

seems we have crossed the roll point in aviation parlance :) Looking forward to paint them.

Thanks to all the backers.
There is less than 24 hours to join Kickstarter.

I recently discovered this range, originally stumbling across the minis on Dragon Frog Games. I just placed my first order from Miniatures by Mann and I'm looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on them.

They are excellent figures, very well designed and sculpted.
-
Thanks Rob. They DO look pretty amazing and I'm glad I waited all this time before diving in to 15mm Fantasy Japan. I know AA has the Sengoku range, but I'm just not a fan of the sculpts quite honestly.
I think Martin over at Dragon Frog Games in the UK has the best collection of pics of this range in his online shop in case anyone is interested: https://www.dragonfroggames.co.uk/page/15mm-samurai-range

The manufacturer seems to be in the US ...

Yeah he is. Dragon Frog is their European distributor. But he has better pics of his packs than the actual sculptor. lol

Do they actually have a facebook page, as mentioned on their website?
How do they calculate postage?
How could they be contacted?
Thanks!
-
They have a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2Fcategory%2FProduct-Service%2FMiniatures-by-Mann-114718480272993%2F
I couldn't find a contact email ANYWHERE on their website. :?

Thanks for the link! I had tried searching facebook, but their facebook handle would seem to be a hyphenated version of their name, ha ha!
-
If anyone finds a contact for Phil, let me know. I PM'd him but to no avail.

If the PM here (Saman17) didn’t work, have you tried contacting him on TMP? Perhaps ask Bill to send Philip (Saman1776) a PM/email with your contact information?

Thanks Dan. I tried the email function here on LAF. We'll see where that goes. Perhaps he's just not into interacting with his adoring public. lol

Anytime, brother. I really hope you can get a hold of him and get to ask him your questions. Happy hunting. :)

PS. One day I hope to get his bandits and armed peasants for this crazy little project of mine:

OH! That looks great!

Depending on wheree you are, I did pledge for every model in the kickstarter and still have them unpainted in my hobby room. Since then, I moved house, my wife got pregnant, I became a father and ...don‘t have much time for painting. So if you’re interested in getting a lump for a good price...I‘m in Germany.
-
PM sent! :D
-
I finally did get an email response from Phil regarding the status of my order, but he's a man of few words so the email was short and to the point. I DID ask him if there's plans to grow the range a bit in the future to include Ikko Ikki, Yokai or evil mages, but never heard back.

Got my first pack of these figures in the post and they're quite lovely. I ordered the Villagers pack from Martin and Dragon Frog to test the waters.
