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.

Hope you like it!

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!

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.
