[COMMERCIAL] STAR SCHLOCK: Minis inspired by 70s and 80s sci-fi.

When is this kickstarter?

Very soon! The Kickstarter page is 90% done, I have one more stretch goal sculpt I am finishing up this week, and the preview page should be up in April. I don't want to commit to a date in case some unexpected disaster rears its head at the last minute, but you may see the Astroguards sally forth in just a few weeks.

Lovely figures so far!

Thank you! I'm hoping this initial Kickstarter will just be a foothold into expanding the range in the future.

Looking good.

Any chance of head variants for the astronauts, since there are so few in this scale, and some of us may not one skeletonized ones?

Capes as optional add-ons would be nice too, for those that want, or don't want them.

I'd like to get both of those ideas in. The astronaut is more likely, but it all really depends on how much funding we can gather during the campaign.

IMO the Schlock troopers look a lot better with the capes.

Is this Kickstarter going to be for both friend and foe minis?

If you sculpt your own minis, what's the funding for? Also, how much do you need to raise?

Every time I see the title of this thread I'm expecting a carbosilicate amorph and his pals.

If you were unfortunate enough to miss the source of that reference, I suggest starting at the beginning of the archive and working forward:  https://www.schlockmercenary.com/

There will be an assortment of additional heroes and villains available as stretch goals. I'm eager to flesh out the line with a wide variety of aliens, robots, soldiers and creatures, but I want to make sure backers get these initial figures in hand on time before expanding the range.

These are digital sculpts. The masters for the initial Astroguards are complete, but production molds need to be created. The additional heroes and villains still need resin casts created from the files, master molds and production molds made. While I've already invested quite a bit into this project, I could really use the support in getting this line off the ground.

I'm going to make the Kickstarter preview page available to my email subscribers within the next few weeks for feedback, so please sign up if you'd like to check it out!

Hello friends! Just a quick note to let you know the Kickstarter for my line of sci-fi figures launches on May 3rd at noon EST (4:00 pm GMT). I'll dump some more info in this thread when it launches, but I wanted to give you a heads up since I'll be adding free minis to orders if we fund within the first 48 hours. Keep your eyes peeled and your blaster handy!

Interested in the wider Star Schlock universe, or the game rules I've been working on? A few tidbits are on the the updated Star Schlock website as well.

I am interested.  Will there be an option to pick up the individual bonus on models at a later date?  I could use several of the droids.

Oh lord, he's using that Micronauts font! That's not fair!

Yes, you should be able to get the power bots without the rest of the Astroguard squad in the future. I have a number of 'bots planned I'm hoping to release.

It's hopeless to resist the power of nostalgia!
