This is what I came up with a couple days ago with an eye toward maximizing the head sculpt variations on the figures in the 50-piece package.
Quote:
Right now with the different unlocked head sculpts combined with the figures you can make 2 black head variations, 3 tan head variations and 3 gray head variations using 1 of each stretch item accessory pack. Nevermind the masks and other gear you can change.
You already get 3 of each stretch item for free. So you can split your 50 items as 9 green figures (3 more green "CARMEN" are already included free), 12 black, 12 tan, 12 gray, 3 "BRO" accessory packs, and 1 more each of the "ARMANDO" and "DAVID" accessory packs. That gives you 6 of each black head variation and 4 of each tan and gray head variation. With of course many more options to vary the vests and helmets.

Here is a way to split the 50-piece package evenly IF we unlock the blue figure. Price per piece would equal $9.79 if that happens.
Select 10 black, 10 gray, 10 tan, 7 green "CARMEN" and 7 blue "GUERERRO" (3 more of each are already included free) as your figures. Then select 2 "BRO" accessory packs and 1 more each of "ARMANDO," "DAVID," "ENRIQUETA," and "FARSHLUNGNER." That lets you split your black, gray and tan figures with 5 of each masked head sculpt. You will also have 10 of the brown hair unmasked head (which comes with the tan figure) and 5 of the black hair unmasked head to use on any figure. Keeping in mind 3 of each stretch goal are free on top of your 50-piece order, your total order count ends up as: 10 black figure 10 gray figure 10 tan figure 10 "CARMEN" figure 10 "GUERRERO" figure 5 "BRO" 4 "ARMANDO" 4 "DAVID" 4 "ENRIQUETA" 4 "FARSHLUNGNER" |

If you take out the first 2 days of funding, which were much higher than every other day, the average money per day was $2,807. So if you add in 7 more days of that plus the $5,000 bonus, we end up at $131,637, short of unlocking GUERRERO.
I looked at the Four Horsemen's Gothitropolis Raven Kickstarter from last summer which does not look dissimilar to this one, with two huge days at the beginning and then slow and steady numbers. Their single biggest funding day was the last day. The last day raised their total by 17.5%. If that happened here, extrapolating from the above numbers, we'd end up at $151,375 and actually unlock both GUERRERO and just barely the green beret stretch goal on the last day. I don't know if this happened because the 4HM added something special at the end or not. But if that happened, there sure would be a lot of people throwing in more money after the close of the Kickstarter to purchase extras of the last two unlocked items. Maybe even enough to unlock the green gear at $165K (but it would be too late to officially do it). Last edited by JediJones; 04-23-2014 at 06:22 PM.. |

They will all look the same haha...New Fred Army? That might be kinda cool to turn some of these into Crimson Guards with the extra heads as Fred Heads

Many Kickstarter projects have a "dead time" in the middle. It's getting through that time and increasing support during the middle part that's very tough.

You'll also have gas masks, goggles, berets, boonie hats, etc. to use over those heads for variety. |

The first and last day of many Kickstarters (or other funding periods) account for around 20% each. This one raised $30K on its first day, so another $30K on the last day would put us up two more stretch goals. Based on that 20% rule, we're looking to top out in the neighborhood of $150k.

I can't wait to see how close they are to compatible with either Joe, Star Wars, or Marvel heads/pegs. If they're a perfect fit for any of those that'd be awesome, but I'm not above dremeling out some SW heads to fit on generic troopers. |

Hey Folks!
You called it already, but we OFFICIALLY met the $5,000 contribution matching pledge goal! You all made it happen in less than 17 hours! The mystery person will add his $5,000 donation to the contribution level some time tonight. Which will then only leave about $7,000 to unlock the "Farshlungner" stretch goal! Thanks again for being part of the project! MJ
