Title: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Hoser on 12 January 2016, 01:09:34 AM: Just wondering if there's any info on the second Colony 87 kickstarter.
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: axiom on 12 January 2016, 07:22:48 AM: Thanks for the interest! It will be a second set of 6 figures, due to launch in early Feb :)

Like last time, the figures were concepted by Will Beck and have been sculpted by Michael Anderson.

If you keep an eye on Asslessman's Leadplague blog (http://leadplague.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1), you'll see some sneak peaks :)

Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: zemjw on 12 January 2016, 09:36:04 AM: Saw the first of these on that blog the other day :-* and I'm pretty sure I shall be backing the new KS when it appears.

Any sneak peaks of concept art you could post as a teaser?

Absolutely. I plan to make them available a second time round :)
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Ray Earle on 12 January 2016, 02:29:07 PM: Having missed the first run of these I'd be tempted to get both sets this time around. :)
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Brummie on 12 January 2016, 02:49:38 PM: Will these ever be up for general sale btw?

I'm tempted to back a second kickstarter as well.

That is excellent news - I've been kicking myself since the first one finished!

And jolly painful it is too!
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: JoeRugby on 12 January 2016, 11:50:17 PM: Not rubbing anyone's nose in it honestly ::)

But I wonder if I can finish the rest of the first batch before the new Kickstarter

Challenge accepted :)

Any chance we'll get some more frog people? my emissary needs an honour guard
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: blacksoilbill on 13 January 2016, 03:59:46 AM: Yes, I've only managed to paint one figure from the first set so far, but it won't stop me jumping in on this one!

Unfortunately no further Amphirans in wave 2, but you never know what the future holds!
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: audrey on 13 January 2016, 07:46:10 PM: I am certainly looking forward to this. I love the 1st wave figures I got.

The Kickstarter page is drafted. I need to finish the video, upload a couple of painted photos, check and double check everything...

Looking forward to the new figs.
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Predatorpt on 23 February 2016, 06:13:00 PM: Glad to see that there's a pledge for guys like me, who didn't get the initial KS figures. Pledged!
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: audrey on 23 February 2016, 06:40:12 PM: ...and it is funded. Not that anyone doubted it would.

I had numerous people in the last KS who wanted the nobles. Putting them in a themed set was to try and reflect those requests :)
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Muzfish4 on 23 February 2016, 09:56:00 PM: Highly likely to pledge for this one - just need to see how many add-ons are unlocked for the 'Empire in Peril' campaign before I put my hand up for this one.
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: DivisMal on 23 February 2016, 10:33:38 PM: Wow! Congratulations, guys.

This seems to be such a small niche at first glance, but obviously is in pretty high demand by the people who might like it.

I didn't even get an early bird anymore!

And....yay! They did make the Future-Archaeologist I had proposed last time!!!!

Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Hoser on 28 March 2016, 04:35:54 AM: When do you think these will be available for regular retail? I want them badly, but no longer do Kickstarter.
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: axiom on 29 March 2016, 03:59:55 PM: The production for the KS backers will run through until June. After that, I'm not sure - I'm still debating whether or not I want to go down the retail route. I suspect *if* they do go up for regular retail, it won't be until late 2016 or early 2017.

Are these available for sale yet?

I spent a long time debating this point. I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to start up a miniatures company. I want to occasionally make models I want in my collection, and as part of that process, sell some to other people who might like them :)

I do plan a 3rd and probably final set of 6 figures for 2017, to be released by Kickstarter. I do have sets of both Wave 1 and Wave 2 available currently that people can buy directly from me.

But I'm not going to set up a website, and probably, post the 2017 Kickstarter, I will retire the range.

I hope that answers your questions?
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: zemjw on 12 October 2016, 04:30:33 PM: Have you considered selling the masters to someone like CP models?

They seem quite happy to sell various ranges, and I think they would sell well (especially with the new Osprey SF rules coming out at some point).

Happy to say that I backed both Kickstarters and will almost certainly be in for next year's as well, as they are really nice figures :)
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: Belgian on 12 October 2016, 10:17:17 PM: Would be shame to see this range becoming oop, you might want to contact some companies to sell the masters or at least sell a license to them. That way these excellent sculpts will remain available as they are quite unique on the market and you don't have the hassle of retailling these. Maybe Lead Adventure Miniatures would be a good owner.
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: axiom on 13 October 2016, 08:47:22 PM: Thanks for the feedback. I've certainly thought about selling the range, but no firm decisions for now :)
Title: Re: Colony 87 round two?
Post by: FramFramson on 14 October 2016, 06:08:52 PM: Well, for what it's worth, they would fit quite well with LAF's new KS-funded line of sci-fi civvies.
