Yeah, the chick on rollerskates (Zombicide) is kinda like that as well as the special guest box with the dual-sword wielding schoolgirl. To be fair, the plastic has a bit of flex so it won't snap like Games Workshop minis. It's also possible that the Kickstarter Stretch Goal monsters were rejected from retail production due to their fragility and inconsistency to the core game. I still want them. I'm looking at you, weretiger.

inkblottime posted:So the CMON premium price isn't too bad from that perspective. inkblottime posted:I might be rationalizing but still, it looks like fun. Just an FYI regarding CMON, I think they are starting to get a little too big, and their community support and customer service is starting to break down. They used to be pretty good with communication, but they've got a lot of pots boiling and people are starting to get a little annoyed at the way the information chain is starting to fail. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jun 21, 2016 |

berzerkmonkey posted:What's the premium? You're getting (at current count) 126+ miniatures and the game for $125-ish. Considering the cost of games these days, that's a drat good price. CMoN never had great customer service for kickstarters to begin with.

LordAba posted:CMoN never had great customer service for kickstarters to begin with. Eh, I disagree - they were pretty good with information, especially regarding shipping, at least when I had to contact them about anything. Now things show up on your doorstep with late or no shipping notification whatsover. No communication saying "Hey, we're a bit behind, so be patient, ok?", just radio silence. Wrath of Kings has been particularly bad in the support department - complete silence, partial faction releases, no releases for other factions, claims that "We know we've been lacking, so we're going to step up our game!" then nothing. I experienced a three month wait to get a very small replacement part due to a miscast, then finding out they've switched customer support teams, so all of the customer files mysteriously vanished... It's a bunch of small things, but they're starting to add up, and I'm seeing a lot more annoyed people than I usually see regarding their Kickstarters. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Arivia posted:Holy poo poo take your hand out of your pants when you sculpt a miniature, goddamn. Yeah, they had a bad run of side boobs and such that's more than a little eye-roll worthy. I actually like playing one particular character who is based on Black Widow since she starts off with "Break-in" power which is very handy. But she's in a skin tight latex-like leather onesie with the zipper down to her sternum. I mean I like Black Widow and all just not the over the top partially exposed boobs. We are fighting zombies after all. To their credit, they've gotten better since. I especially like the woman in platemail (Lady Grimm) who looks like Brienne of Tarth. inkblottime fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Yeah, WoK turned me off CMoN Kickstarters forever. I got the crappy unremarkable base inserts instead of the cool Castlevania graveyard. Then they said that the tombstones were too complicated for the medium, right before they produced them for their next Kickstarter. I asked if I could exchange a different set of inserts, they said yes. Then I followed up after a few months of nothing arriving, and they said no. A year later I got a refund (for the wrong amount) and still haven't seen the cards they mispacked. The game and figures are all great, but CMoN customer service is 100% dog turds.

That model is a anomaly, and not indicative of the product line - it was a add-on sculpted by known cheesecake artist, Palo Parente.

Jedit posted:Dressed, yes, but it's telling that the big girl is the only one who can keep her knees together. Isn't a feet-apart stance pretty common for all actiony poses, not just cheesecake ones? I'm pretty sure most of the male minis I have also have their legs spread apart like that (although I do not own anything zombicide) just because it looks more stable. Fake Edit: Yeah, I checked. Other than "Kneeling With Rifle", the vast majority of my miniatures have that same leg stance going on

I was pleasantly surprised to see that 7th Sea 2nd Edition is already available on DTRPG. I didn't back it, not my thing, but if I was a backer I'd be impressed as hell at the work ethic and professionalism reflected in that short turn-around time from funding to release.

Backers got their copies about 7-10 days ago. And yeah, no matter what people have to say about Wick or the 7th Sea 2e system, I can't deny that the Kickstarter was extremely well run.

I can't believe I backed three RPG kickstarters in a row that are delivering on time, early or are going to require a brief delay but have articulated the reasoning well and provided preview materials that give me confidence it will indeed be brief. 7th Sea, Savage Rifts and Conan RPG. Blades in the Dark and 13th Age in Glorantha, the other big RPG KSes I went in on, are both quite late, and I'm not saying they're Far West or that I'm mad, but I was thinking long delays were just part and parcel of RPG KSing.

Ughhhhh, this stupid Brexit poo poo is making me worry about the Dark Souls and This War of Mine kickstarters (which were in pounds). I sure hope that doesn't seriously screw up their financial situations or just give them an easy excuse to run off and say they ran out of money.

Man this was a fast turnaround on the Million Dollars, But card game, apparently copies are already going out. I'm going to guess they were all set to go and just used the Kickstarter for promotion and to recoup costs already spent on printing.
