I hope this doesn't bode ill for the Sectaurs reboot and that Pulp Heroes line. I was really looking forward to those, much moreso than Captain Action.

While it was not said 100% of funds will or will not be returned, I wonder what are the chances? It was a Kickstarter, so obviously there is no promise of delivery of product or return. Obviously they don’t want to take bath on this, but they do hope to turn a profit on the other lines.
I hope for the best for those On both sides. |

If they do return 100% of the funds they're going to be out a lot of money, because of Amazon and Kickstarter's cuts, which add up to 10% of the amount raised IIRC.

The fundamental problem with sorting out how this does or doesn't affect subsequent lines with the shared tooling is sorting out the various companies involved. I am *flat-out flabbergasted* by trying to sort the differences between RemCo/FreshMonkeyFiction/Zica/AdventurePeople/CaptainAction/EagleForce/Sectaurs/AmazingHeroes/I'mSureIMissedAnotherCouple. Compounding this confusion is that there's only one guy whose name we know representing any of it - but not all, somehow.
Until that can be sorted, I'm just gonna say I'm bummed and hope my money comes back before the holidays so it can serve a decent purpose. |

Ouch, I was looking forward to these figures. I imagine they'll have to shave 15-20% off the refunds unless someone is bailing them out.
Hopefully whatever the problems are don't start affecting the other lines. Hasbro has been moving some of there work to Vietnam from China. Maybe these need to follow them as the factories seem to be doing a better job currently than the China ones. |

I get the risk involved with backing a kick. But if these refunds aren't of the 100% variety, Zica can kiss goodbye any chance of ever having another project fund. Cost a lot yeah, but the tooling is shared and will try to be used again someday so its not like they are empty handed. Honestly, either way I'm not sure how I feel about backing a future kick from Zica.

Full refunds are coming - from the comments page on the Kickstarter update:

You'll note the lack of the word 'full' in that quote, man.

I was sorry that I couldn't participate in this particular ks, and I'm still sorry now. It looked to be something very cool.
What I don't understand is how this doesn't affect the shared factory and figure design with Eagle Force, Sectaurs, and everything else that's planned to follow after. How could one fail, but the others still be good to go?
