I know there are plenty of super hero fans around here, just wanted to let you know we just launched our Super Hero project on Kickstater.

Thanks Jim,

Just sent a message through kickstarter before I saw this one.  We appreciate it and have high hopes, if we are successful, this is just the beginning!

Good luck with the project, I must admit having looked around a little there does seem to be a lack of more "generic" superheroes for want of a better word. Ones you can just paint up in your own colours or add a little bit of sculpting work to create something of your own.

One worry I do have is running the Kickstart project at this time of year, I recently said something similar to a podcast I watch which is trying to raise some funds, christmas is often when budgets are especially tight.

Hopefully you will reach your target though!

@swisstony, thanks man!  We feel the same way.  8)

@viper, that was a major concern for us.  But the only alternative is to wait until "after Christmas" when people are still strapped, so that makes it about three more months before we could begin.  I personally couldn't wait that long, I might have been killed by the anticipation.  Seriously though, it's not the best time, but we had some serious momentum and made the decision to run with it. 

While we'd love to have our big rewards snapped up and the project funded quickly, there's lot's of stocking stuffer amounts that can be had.  Try that little $15 dollar one!  :)

Thanks for the well wishes.

Thanks for the comment!

Pop a quick support in and get a set of four different poses of them!  :) kickstarter supporters get to choose which models they want.

It was Soapy's fault I started sculpting Grymn Superheroes...getting back in the sculpting saddle...so I'm in :) .  Only a henchman but it's all money for the pot :) .

I'm with you Inso, it's all Soapy's fault.  I was happily painting Judges and VBCW figs until his sculpts got me thinking about super heroes.  Next thing you know I'm trolling my way through the only three places you can find super hero figures (I decided against clix early on) and found them all to expensive, or not really my bag.  Managed to find a few that suited me, but just not enough out there.  Unfortunately I don't have your deft hand with the sculpting tools.

Glad to have you on board!

Been eying Kickstarter for a while: Just the project I needed to start. Can't wait to see how it goes! :)

Title: Re: Crossover Miniatures Kickstarter Campaign Just Launched

Over half way there now, with 35 days to go.

Title: Re: Crossover Miniatures Kickstarter Campaign Just Launched
Post by: fergal on December 13, 2011, 08:40:26 PM

That's right Inso!  61% of the way there in 5 days, awesome support for the project so far.  I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.  We should have some more greens to show off before long.  Another goon or two and another Villain that's just waiting for another head.

It would be fantastic to have the funding wrapped up by Christmas, that would be a very merry holiday for sure! :D

How's this for a teaser of the next Big Baddie in store?

Can't give you more than that as Soapy's still changing a few details.

Good luck with this - looks good so far!

a set of multipose superheroes has been on my project list for a long time - now I can cross it off and work on something else :-)

You bet Argoner, and that's only one of his looks!

Black Hat, thanks for the well wishes.  You should pick up a set!  :D

So...how's this going then? 

25 backers and $1329 to go...31 days and counting :) ...that's how :) .

There definitely needs to be more backers so let's have some more :).

Just a friendly 'bump' here...I really want to see this project succeed!

Title: Re: Crossover Miniatures Kickstarter Campaign Just Launched
Post by: hendybadger on December 21, 2011, 10:59:35 PM

Same here.
68% funded with 27 days left to go.

You know you want these supers people!!!!!

I'd have jumped in here, if I had only found a new job..... As my finances will be strained in the new year, however, I probably won't be able to purchase much new stuff, anyway.  :(

Title: Re: Crossover Miniatures Kickstarter Campaign Just Launched
Post by: fergal on December 24, 2011, 03:48:38 PM

Thanks for the bump guys!  72% now with 24 days to go! 

I've got a new model to show off in a few days as well.  I'm also working on ways to give the backers some input into some of the new heads.

Happy Holidays lads!
