Call of Cthulhu 7th edition miniatures fund raising to begin!

[Servitor of RAFM]

See our update from this morning. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/call-of-cthulhu-miniatures/x/582666?c=activity
Flexible funding was chosen to allow Paypal transactions as well as credit cards.

Charges are applied when you decide to fund the project.
This is copied directly from the IndieGoGo terms page. http://support.indiegogo.com/entries/20566503-Fixed-vs-Flexible-Funding

Flexible Funding

If you reach your goal...     You keep all funds raised, minus fees. You pay a 4% platform fee.* You are required to fulfill perks.

If you don't reach your goal...     You keep all funds raised, minus fees. You pay a 9% platform fee.* You are required to fulfill perks.

Fixed Funding

If you reach your goal... You keep all funds raised, minus fees. You pay a 4% platform fee.* You are required to fulfill perks.

If you don't reach your goal... All contributions are refunded. You pay no fees. You are not required to fulfill perks.

If a contributor backs out we lose the fees (9% until fully funded) unless we can somehow claim these back from IndieGoGo. Please make sure you understand the terms before contributing. At this point we are committed to making 5 new Player characters and 3 new monsters for the line because we have received contributions.

James Van Schaik will do some sculpts, and this is good news. You can see some of his works here: http://jamesvanschaik.blogspot.fr/
Also, a bonus figure has been granted to backers:

I hope that will boost the campaign, since there are only 30 backers so far.

The gangster is just perfect:

Redshadows, well known here for his, hum, disturbing strange-faced slug-thinghy, has been appointed to work on the new monster line. I think this is quite promising.
If someone does not remember the slug I was alluding, just check this thread:

Alright, alright, the limited slots and guaranteed old stuff (that fit well to my collection or rather its holes) did it. Master deal #1 is mine, I think.

I'm unfortunately rather underwhelmed by the new deals

I've already got all of the old line that I want from the miniatures offered so there's no real added incentive to buy into this. I suppose it would've been too complicated to just offer a $40/$80 voucher to the existing CoC line...

I just asked them a similar question, to fill the holes in my collection I would need minis that are not included in the deals...
But the guys from RAFM have been usually rather helpful in the past, so I hope that there will be a possibility to change to other models as long as one stays within the limits of $40/$80. And the 'deal' packages ARE good! Hope that this sparks more interest in the community to back this.

I'll see what we can work out with some sort of voucher for those that want a different offering of miniatures. We should be able to add something to the program along those lines.

Same here actually - I just 'need' a handful of blisters of the old line, and the models offered are not always usefull to have in duplicate. I'll wait and see a bit.

I'm in. I like the old line and have a lot of hope for the new one. I would really love to see more sculpts from Bob of course.

Free shipping offered just today. If some of you are still hesitant, maybe it's time to join!

I think this is an interesting fund raiser, which was enough value for my money unless enough money was raised. It's good to see a few iniatives to get more backers, but a shame too see that these options are/were limited and that the difference with a "normal" pledge and a master pledge with free shipping is so big. Sadly my funds are also tied up until the start of the next month and even then I'll probably wait and see where this is going.

How about this: at a given perk X you'd get Y points of "Cthulhu Credits" that can be used at the "Special IndieGoGo shoppe". Put the old stuff you want to shift (the more the merrier of course) into the latter and  price it in CCs. For example a pack of three Deep Ones might cost 1 CC, a Dunwich Horror might cost 5 CC or whatever you feel appropriate. You can put a retail price next to the CC cost for comparison purposes.

There is now a "add $20 to your pledge and get a $40 voucher to spend on the old line" option, and since the first stretch goal has been met, it's now $50 for 8 investigators, not too bad, I think.
