[Kickstarter] Colony 87 - Wave 3
« on: May 11, 2019, 01:20:31 PM »


I am delighted to announce that Crooked Dice will be the new owners of the wonderful Colony 87 range of Sci-Fi civilians developed by Jon Boyce.

"I'm delighted that the Colony 87 range is finding a new home with Crooked Dice. Handing over the reins not only means that the range will be more easily accessible, but will hopefully see many more new additions and continued support. I can't wait to see how things develop!"

The first two waves of figures were both successfully crowdfunded producing twelve cracking characters suitable for any starport or off-world outpost.

Crooked Dice will take over the range in the summer and will launch a third Kickstarter with new figures later this year.



The campaign will offer the opportunity to pick up the previous two releases - and all sets will be available to retail from the Crooked Dice webstore once the campaign is fulfilled.

Looking good Karl, they'll compliment your existing ranges nicely.

Interesting news. There seems to have been a lot of interest in the range.

Good luck with them.

Very good news.  I have the figures and they are really excellent.  Great that they will now be available more easily.   :)

Hopefully they will be available as individuals rather than only sets as per KS.

How do they compare in size to existing Crooked Dice figures?

For me a comparison with William Killian would be great, but one of the astronauts would do ^__^.

What is the timescale likely to be (my measurement of time would be Colours, SELWG, Warfare, Salute...).

Perfectly scaled against CD miniatures.

Kickstarter for Wave 3 planned for the 'Autumn' going into retail in the new year.

Great news, will be using these for the new Core Space game from Battle Systems.

One question is the same sculptor going to do the 3rd Kickstarter for you?

Yep - Michael Anderson has already sculpted seven new characters, but there will also be sculpts from Michael Lovejoy and Andrew May.
