A shame we didn't hit the aqua warriors. But good steam near the end! Maybe they'll toss them in for free? :)

Be nice but I doubt it, free is a rare thing these days. I am very happy with what we got....October can't be here fast enough!

Looks like we are getting the aqua warriors at the $160 pledge level after all. The latest update has a revised graphic of what's in that pledge level and I have to say I'm pretty excited about it. It's a shame that we're suffering from delays, but it seems to be more the norm than not for game Kickstarters. :(

Well, sounds like the starter game is rolling out soon, within this month or next (depending on Red Joker's meaning) of shipping this month (either to us or from China).

Just wanted to show the awesome minis that we will be getting.....
 this is the before, keep in mind Iello told us they were going away from hard plastic and resin to a better quality plastic.

the above picture is the sculpt they pitched to us...

Now here is the super awesome mini we will be getting..



the before of Pr. Sarkov

notice how ugly those details are.

Now notice this nice comic book style

a vast improvement over the original I must say.

If you guys did not back this KS I bet you guys are upset you are missing out on these nice minis.

One more so you can see the improvement in quality.
Old

the original ugly one they pitched to us you can clearly make out a hand and fingers.
new and improved

I can't see any fingers and the hand looks like it is part of the stick he is holding.
I must say those are awesome minis, I can see what they mean by going to this new plastic and the "Softer comic style" is totally acheived

Dont take my word for it, Iello said so themselves.
Quote from: iello
@******* - Our intent is to create figures that match a softer comic book style. Holding these figures in my hands, and considering their intended use, I personally think these figures look good, and will serve their function very well. I know your opinion will differ, and I appreciate you sharing that opinion.

Those are really bad.  Even WizKids can make better miniatures.

Oooof! Much reduced quality, I nearly backed this purely for the minis, but finances
we're too tight for me at the time, so I couldn't. Lucky escape

That's truly a tragedy that such nice designs have been so poorly executed.  I bet the sculptors are really disappointed.   :(

I hope the game still fun so it's not a total washout.

When I was kid in the 1970's and 1980's, getting plastic army men and sci-fi figures in plastic bags with stapled header cards was a great treat.  That's what the finished product of this KS reminds me of. 

They look nothing like what was promised.

This KS is a cautionary tale on so many levels.  Very sad. Feel badly for the backers and everyone involved.

I find it sad some people are defending them saying that we are owed nothing etc... Truly disappointed in Iello. I will never back another product of theirs ever.

How someone can screw production of minis like that from such clean sculpts is beyond me!

Cutting corners with money in the bank eh? if anyone wanted to get a refund they could probably have them on failure to provide product as described or on the basis of quality and potential failure to meet expectations.

Shame
