I've been looking around for the Colony 87 miniatures space civilians. I've seen the Kickstarter sites/advertising, but based on what I have seen that process successfully ended a year ago. So who sells them now? When I search I just find more of the old Kickstarter stuff. When I go to eBay, I don't find them there. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you. Richard
-
As far as I know they have only been available via Kickstarter with those supporting the second Kickstarter able to buy the figures produced in the first one as well.
I think the figures will be delivered in the next couple of weeks and I suppose it is possible they will become generally available after that but I don't know if that is the intention (I don't think the first set ever were)
-
The man behind them posts here fairly often and goes by the name of Axiom. Look him up and drop him a line, he's a lovey fella.
-
There some just up for sale on facebooks Oldhammer trading company page £7 each.
-
Thanks to you all. Richard
-
anyone heard if these are being sold
-
Hi all, thanks for the interest. The short answer is that I don't ever intend to become a miniatures retailer. I'll be running a third and final Kickstarter in Oct / Nov 2017, then will retire the range when all stocks are sold. The Kickstarters have primarily been vehicles to enable a range of figures I wanted to become reality. Happily other people have liked them too :)
I do have sets of both wave 1 and wave 2 available - if anyone wants to enquire about them, feel free to drop me a PM and we can arrange something :)
-
Jon let me take this opportunity to thank you right here on LAF for making it possible for me to buy the two Colony 87 sets. You are wonderful to work with... really a pleasure, and I am thrilled that I will be adding the Colony 87 figures to my space world. Richard
-
They are great figures. Happy to hear there will be a third set, sad to hear it will be the last.

You're very welcome Richard! Glad to help out - I'm looking forward to seeing your painted versions :)
-
I must join Richard's congratulations. C47 is really very evocative, to me a mix of galaxy fringe 40k and Moebius comics.
I'll post some pics once i'll have finished my inquisimunda team and i'll have managed proper close up pics (which might take some years yet...).
Thanks again for the excellent work!

We've definitely tried to nod to some classic sci-fi / space opera! Glad you like them & looking forward to any painted pics :)

What do these mysterious figs look like? Maybe I would like to buy some while I still can.

Google Colony 87 Kickstarter and you'll find plenty of images.

Am already looking forward to the third set immensely!

Mine are in the mail too!

Very welcome both! Glad you like them :)

so, do we just pm to get them? there's some I really like and would love to get.
-
Mine are in the mail too!
As are minew :D
Just PM axiom and work out the details
-
Received my figs in the post last evening - shipped in a chic black box with a pair of Colony 87 dice thrown in, to boot! Thanks again Axiom!
-
@Manchu - you're very welcome :)
-
Just opened my Colony 87 figures. Wonderful minis, beautifully packaged. Thanks Axiom!
-
I should have some on the way, as well,,,
-
Got mine today!! Beautiful and professionally packaged. Very pleased.
-
Great to hear!
-
I would buy both sets if there are still any left.
-
Just got mine, some of the best quality miniatures I've ever seen! So fine and clean!
Awesome
-
I've created a LAF profile purely for the purpose of getting hold of these amazing miniatures!
Dug my ancient copies of White Dwarf out the loft recently and rediscovered Confrontation (precursor to Necromunda). The rules are poor, so will use something else (Scrappers or Tomorrow's War probably), but the background and artwork are really inspiring.
These figures will be absolutely perfect for scenarios involving civilians.
-
Any news on date for third Kickstarter?
I bought the two first sets from the creator and they are indeed fantastic.

I'm sure Axoim will be along with the official line in due course, but if I recall correctly it's planned for early in the New Year.
I'll also add to the general praise of the figures, they're a pleasure to paint & full of character.

Genghis is correct. We were originally aiming for an October KS for wave 3, but a few things have got in the way, meaning that the sculpts have been delayed a little. We currently have 2 sculpts completed, with another 4 WIP. We're now looking at having those remaining sculpts finished by the end of the year, then a third KS early 2018.
Thanks for all the positive feedback from those of you who've had some of the earlier figures. It's great to hear that you're enjoying and using the figures :)

Will you be offering pledge levels to get the original figures aswell? Id be gutted if I missed out. cheers.
-
Goods arrived today, they are more than worthy of all the high praise given throughout this thread - truly superb miniatures!
Cannot wait for wave 3. Thank you Axiom, Colony 87 has made my world a happier place!
-

Probably not, for a variety of reasons. But I'm in early talks about a potential future retail outlet for the previous sets.
-
in this case, do you happen to have original sets for sale left?

Unfortunately not currently. I sold the last of the original casting runs earlier this year. I have a handful of a couple of the figures, but that's it. Sorry.

Is there any news to this?
I was sadly low on funds during the kickstarters, but I'd still love to paint a couple of these models...
-
@Limes - There's a Facebook page setting the stage for wave 3, which will hopefully be out very soon now, but I've not seen any further info on getting hold of miniatures from waves 1 and 2.

Ooh, that is rather splendid news. I shall keep my eyes peeled.
-
@Raedwald - sorry I missed to reply. Thanks for the tip, I now have those I 'need' from the set :)
