Am I missing it, or is it not yet possible to order these figures outside of the Kickstarter?

-Michael

The online shop will be available very soon.
Also they have said that the new faction; Dutch, will be available directly on the website and not by kickstarter.

Great news about the Dutch. If the figures are good I'll be very interested.

I know this is off topic, but where can I buy an English version of Kingdoms? I'm in the US.

Here in New Zealand, my figures have arrived. And after a quick look, I am pretty happy with how they look.

I might assemble a pack this Easter weekend and see how they go together.

Nice way to start the weekend, a bag of swag arriving at your door!  Do let us know what you think after you have played with them more.

Has anyone in the UK had their figures yet? I'm looking at the postman every day but no joy?

My order arrived on Friday. (South Yorkshire) No chance to look at them closely yet but first impressions are very good: well cast, nicely proportioned figures.

Only potential 'problem' at this point iis the lack of any base on the infantry - they'll have to be drilled and pinned unless you want to rely on glueing the feet directly onto whatever base you choose to use.

Although the KS was almost 6 months late arriving, I'm satisfied that, given how heavily over-subscribed the project was, the creators did a pretty good job in keeping us updated on progress and it was worth the wait. I only wish that Unfeasibly Miniatures had been able to do the same with theirs, where it looks as if the owner has just walked away from a car crash with his customers' money.

I haven't received my figures yet, but it sounds like they shouldn't be too long.

I agree with this completely. I am just painting the first few of the figures from my KS pledge and they are excellent, BUT the lack of a base (or tab) is going to kill this range for any mass battle or army size collection.
The fine detail and proportions of the models makes drilling and pinning the feet and ankles extremely difficult. It is achievable but takes care and is very timeconsuming. Doing this for a couple of dozen skirmish models is OK but for a 200 or 300 figure army, no way.

My figures arrived this morning. I've only had a chance to glance at them but, at first glance, I'm pleased with them. I haven't yet checked them for height, but they don't look to be giants (which is good so far as I'm concerned). They're very fine and slim. I see that most don't have bases, which is a nuisance but not the end of the world, and I won't be using the horse which came with the Olivares figure.
