I just went and looked at the Bones Skellies I have and the detail in the faces is there but hard to see (when unpainted) even when held in the hand. So it's possible there may be more detail than the camera picked up. There is a slight sheen to the plastic and that seems to effect how it is perceived. The skellies in the roll by didn't seem that detailed either and yet they are the same that is already available.

If the quality of the KS final product is the same as the Bones figures already available, we haven't anything to worry about 8)

My thoughts exactly. Plus, Reaper isn't the sort of compay that does things half bothered (unlike others I can think of), so I put my trust in them to have done it well.
Regarding the wobbly candelabra, I'm guessing that with hot water you should be able to straighten it out, has anyone tried it with other Bones?

It is quite a logistic challenge for them. If they make it in march or even april I must say they did a hell of a job...

Hi! Looking on the comment thread on the KS page seemed that some delays are showing at the horizon.

it would be great to have none, but i can survive even with a little delay. But still, i would like to be informed =)

As someone who's looking to do a bit of a retro dungeon crawl --- what material are these made out of?  Are they that horrid new quasi-plastic stuff? (see Sedition/Defiance Games etc.) or a better polymer?

I love the old-school nature, and of course the prices...and I'm damned tired of GW nonsense being the only readily available cost-effective dungeon denizens.  Is it good stuff?  Need any scrubbing before prime/paint?
