Mildly disappointed that the suit jacket is not a separate piece, it would lend itself to further customization possibilties that way.

Still, it's only a drawing. Maybe they'll change their minds. I'd rather they did a closed jacket overlay like their webgear.

It's entirely possible. Most Kickstarters have a fairly large to large bump in the last few days. If it behaves like other Marauder kickstarters we should see that.
Other kickstarters are a bit more unpredictable.
This one is behaving a bit differently, so it remains to be seen - the other two MTF KS had a big bump on the first day and then slow movement until the last week. This one went strongly for the first few days, with a big bump on day 5, and then settled down into small movement, but I still expect to see the big bump at the end, particularly with the recent announcements about moving and adding stretch goals.

Okay, this is gonna be good because I'm cooking up my own universe with MTF Figures, and they need 'Handlers' from 'The Company'.
I also need to make MIB's from MJ12, but that's another story and it's [CLASSIFIED] |

We saw a bump of about $7000 just in the last 24 hours, and with the Agency Ops, I'm hoping some of the backers from the first two Kickstarters decide to pitch in. If we get to the Valtaskers level of 814, meaning about 300 more backers jump in, and even if the majority just go for the scout package at $135, that's an additional $40,000. So if you haven't pledged, and can afford even a small bit of support, I encourage you to get in. This is a really cool lineup.

if the jacket was a different piece - then the arms would match the jacket and not the shirt sleeves, not like the sleeves would come off too...once off it would look like all the Joe one - pretty silly with say a white shirt and black jacket sleeves. You cannot swap jackets then arms and body of coat don't match. This plan seems to fit with the modular part better...swap entire upper body and pull little coat skirt off and you have no jacket. Upper and skirt thing added to different lower - new suited fig...makes sense to me.

One question - can someone figure out how the All-in works if, say, this only crosses the $170K mark? That would only equate to 16 figures by my math, but that's a bit below the per-figure rate of the pick-six package. So would a couple extra be thrown in? That's what the all-in seems to imply. |

As it is, when you pose the torso the little skirt piece is going to stathe where it is. It'll definitely look off. I trust Marauder though, and I'll wait to see some 3D sculpts before I let the drawings disappoint me.

I agree, I think it's an odd choice for the jacket. I get where they are coming from, wanting to make it not overly bulky. But I think it would be better to make removable jackets in however many styles people want and sell separate arms in matched colors and designs (then you only need to crack the torso to swap arms and put a jacket on when you customize, just as with Joes). However, I am pleased that the basic buck will exist with the dress shirt and slacks. That will allow a LOT of room to do things now with cast parts or other lines to season the basic figure (while we wait for Marauder to give us more options). The glass is definitely half full and then some on this one. A full glass would have been better, true, but I think this is a very big step in the right direction. With a good color palette and just the bucks they have sketched we will have a lot of possible builds with these bucks down the road.

Yeah, but a full rubber overlay would fix that. Then they would only have to get one shirt torso mold and put whatever arms they want into it. Make the ties modular. They'd make a killing selling different suit jacket overlays and different color ties. Hell, if they made a military coat overlay, they could sell all the different patches and stripes to put on them to make whatever ranking officer you want.
