He doesn't look much like David Bowie to me.  :)

No, but something with more imaginative sculpting and a less flat paint job would have been more likely to get my money.

Agreed. Should have paid some cash up front to get an awesome PJ done. That would sell them a lot quicker I believe.
It's not without its charm though. I wouldn't get it for that price mind you.

I presume it has some appeal to someone - just not me

You know, I don't understand all the negativity. Is this place Frothers or something? Can't a guy try a tiny little kickstarter? I think he even says he painted the figures last night or something like that. He's not looking for a million bucks for fucks sake.  >:(

Looks like the only Frothers member around here is you, people are allowed an opinion, perhaps you had better go back over there.

Let us please not play the forum vs. forum game.

In my experience, both forums end up worse for it.

LOL not a bad set actually!  It's nice to see something different, I like the humour and imagination of the palanquin  lol  They look a bit more like orcs than goblins to me.  No doubt this Goblin king has some grandiose title Most Ferocious King of Kings, Conqueror of All He Surveys, Destroyer of Empires etc. . . . The Kung Fu minis are pretty cool too - great ideas

I backed the Kung Fu KS and they are great minis! Not technically all that gorgeous, but fun and full of charm. This one, I'm going to pass on, but his next project is Hong Kong action themed a la John Woo, and I'll be all over it.
Cheap, fun, and a one man show delivering a cool product for a.few bucks. Maybe give it a try?

I posted the link to the prior kung fu KS b/c the OP described his take on goblins in one of the updates.

Yes. And in polite company keep it to themselves. Unlike Frothers...

I quite like it a fun little piece. I don't think the paint job is selling it if I'm honest. Style wise It looks likes it would fit quite well with some of Midlam miniatures goblins and orcs.

I quite like this set.  The majority of my figures are "true 25/28mm" and a lot of them size nicely with the GW LOTR range so how would he fit with them?

Also I would like a dismounted (standing) king and the two females in the set so that I can run scenarios in his court or not on his palanquin. 

It they are in the set and they fit the size of my figures then I'll buy the set.

That's as may be, but the paint job is part of selling me on backing the KS and it's failing to do that.  I'm sure a better paint job would make me more interested in the piece, although I'd probably dislike the rather mediocre cheesecake figs regardless of how well they were daubed.
