If you're interested and missed out the KS and pre-order, you may want to join the Facebook groups.
Hell Screamerz Official group https://www.facebook.com/groups/HellScreamerzOfficial/ Hell Screamerz BTS https://www.facebook.com/groups/287753448249753 He ended up cutting some of his factory order due to underwhelming sales on the Backerkit and pre-orders. Unless something drastic happens, there will most likely not be a Hell Screamerz webstore. I'm not sure, where he plans to sell the extras from wave 1. He's looking to move on to a pre-order of wave 1.5, after all the wave 1 orders have shipped. Items that were planned KS/pre-order exclusives Pre-order exclusive figure

I really hope that production numbers don't wind up fouling things up too much, especially considering how smoothly the tooling and paint master process seems to have gone so far (which are usually the biggest stumbling blocks). I'm surprised they had fewer than 100 orders for Luther, though the shipping price snafu probably has much to do with that. With any luck, interest will start picking up once the first wave arrives in-hand, as these do look fantastic.

I will say - The shipping issue, which I saw happening while I was considering the pre-order, drove me away from getting in on these yet again. Plus, looking at the paint masters, I feel like these are looking a bit janky in the sculpting department. I dunno. Paint does look good, but something about the whole project feels kinda "off" to me. Could be subliminal sour grapes, I suppose.
Still, I hope it goes well, and that everyone who bought in gets what they are hoping for. |

The photos of the prototypes were much better than I expected and I’m really looking forward to getting my figures. I really like what they’ve done. Would be a shame if they weren’t able to set up a viable shop post-KS, but sounds like the numbers don’t add up to do that at the minute.
I personally didn’t go for the Luther figure as I felt I had the Divine Hammer figures that I wanted in my original pledge. In general on KS’s, I have been put off adding to Backerkit’s in the past due to very high international shipping costs per figure. Eagle Force was the highest I saw and it completely put me off backing the Larry Hama KS. Marauder never have as high international shipping charges as they charge you the one off for the initial pledge level. |

I think I pointed out when the campaign was live that they were going to have problems meeting quotas. There were just too many different items and a lot of them were very same-y. It's way better to produce 1000 units of a single figure than 2000 units spread among 10. Some of the items they were offering may have sold in the single digits.
I didn't back because these guys seemed incredibly naive and this was bound to be an agonizing process for everyone. I hope the figures turn out well, but I feel like I made the right call steering clear. |

I hope the figures turn out well, but I feel like I made the right call steering clear. I didn't bother with the Kickstarter because there were too many items on it and it got confusing. I figured I'd buy them after when they'd be up for sale in a store. That's my #1 reason for not initially supporting his endeavor. I figured I'd buy in post-kickstarter. I didn't even know that this dude was an exclusive: I remember all the others BUT ^that dude.^ That's how confusing their overstuffed kickstarter was for me. I probably would've bought that dude. The dude needs to trim it back for Round 2. Not make it so overstuffed and confusing with all these figures and accessories.
