Who sells Colony 87 Miniatures?
« on: June 19, 2016, 04:36:16 PM »
I've been looking around for the Colony 87 miniatures space civilians.  I've seen the Kickstarter sites/advertising, but based on what I have seen that process successfully ended a year ago.  So who sells them now?  When I search I just find more of the old Kickstarter stuff.  When I go to eBay, I don't find them there.  Please point me in the right direction.  Thank you.  Richard

As far as I know they have only been available via Kickstarter with those supporting the second Kickstarter able to buy the figures produced in the first one as well.

I think the figures will be delivered in the next couple of weeks and I suppose it is possible they will become generally available after that but I don't know if that is the intention (I don't think the first set ever were)

The man behind them posts here fairly often and goes by the name of Axiom. Look him up and drop him a line, he's a lovey fella.

anyone heard if these are being sold
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Hi all, thanks for the interest. The short answer is that I don't ever intend to become a miniatures retailer. I'll be running a third and final Kickstarter in Oct / Nov 2017, then will retire the range when all stocks are sold. The Kickstarters have primarily been vehicles to enable a range of figures I wanted to become reality. Happily other people have liked them too :)

I do have sets of both wave 1 and wave 2 available - if anyone wants to enquire about them, feel free to drop me a PM and we can arrange something :)

Jon let me take this opportunity to thank you right here on LAF for making it possible for me to buy the two Colony 87 sets.  You are wonderful to work with... really a pleasure, and I am thrilled that I will be adding the Colony 87 figures to my space world.  Richard

They are great figures. Happy to hear there will be a third set, sad to hear it will be the last.

You're very welcome Richard! Glad to help out - I'm looking forward to seeing your painted versions :)

I must join Richard's congratulations. C47 is really very evocative, to me a mix of galaxy fringe 40k and Moebius comics.

I'll post some pics once i'll have finished my inquisimunda team and i'll have managed proper close up pics (which might take some years yet...).

Thanks again for the excellent work!

We've definitely tried to nod to some classic sci-fi / space opera! Glad you like them & looking forward to any painted pics :)

What do these mysterious figs look like? Maybe I would like to buy some while I still can.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

figures bought: 500+
figures painted: 57

Google Colony 87 Kickstarter and you'll find plenty of images.
