(KICKSTARTER) "Salvage Crew" 20 humans and 5 droids for $30!
« on: September 08, 2014, 05:37:10 PM »
Update Sept 24. The KS now includes 5 multipart droids and the ability to order additional droids.

Mega Minis is doing a kickstarter to put some of the old figs in production and the cost is about half what they cost before. Even with the up-charge for international (It's based in the USA) shipping, it's still only $2 a fig.

Looks like a mix of Alpha Forge Star Mogul "Salvage crew" and some Demonblade games figs. All ideal for post apoc settings. A number of figs in there that might see use as scum, bounty hunters and gangers.  I did a review of some of these a while back and found them to be quite good, though the separate head figures are now single piece casts.

I already have about half of these guys, but I'm be buying into this one for the ones I don't.  He also mentions that some of his other sc-fi lines may come back via kickstarter.  Very excited about that.

Don't forget the free Security Drone Stretch Goals to bring that price per figure down even more.  One of the pledge levels offers the full set of Road Kill Corpses Limited Edition for those who were thinking about it but can now conveniently add it.  What I want to do in the near future is make new molds for the Cyber Miners, but not until I have released the Play-by-Play Salvage Crew download.  I kept only around 50 molds, masters from the old Mega Miniatures ranges.

To bad I already have multiples of those figures already.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

I'm very fond of all those figures, but I too have multiples of almost all of them.

But...maybe I could use more...hmmm ;D

Very nice. Put that on my reminders list. Don't usually do sci fi but I have a small skirmish force that could be added to.

I like these, they are broadly useful in many settings. Perfect for Judge Dredd.

Already passed the $1000 funded mark and over $1300 on the first day.  I think we might get some of those drones!

I'm tempted. I have a few of those already, but they are very useful general purpose sci-fi figures, not tied into any specific universe.

Cool he's kinda back in business. Unfortunately I already got all the figures I want from that range.
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"
"Uh, I better look in the manual... This book must be out of date. I don't see "Prussia", "Siam" or "autogyro"...

Passed $5k today. That's 4 free droids!  He has also said in the "updates" he will be adding in ways to order additional droids, though no details yet.

Nice to see you back in action, Johnny! You and your ecclectic ranges of miniatures have been sorely missed.
