Sounds good to me!

I guess it's a starting point.

This looks great, can’t wait to see more. Will definitely be backing this project.

I’m curious to see how the figures hold and sight rifles like the M-1. I’m also hoping the removable nature of the web gear still lets the figures look good wearing just the jacket.

How much do the figures generally run in their KS? I’m interested, but for anything over 15 a pop they would have to be cosmically persuasive.

It varies a bit from KS to KS, but if you use the most recent Kickstarter as an example, a single figure started at $24. To be fair, that price also includes a large set of accessories which confer additional value. Odds are the WWII KS will start with a similar price point. It's a slightly better deal than buying items a la carte once they hit the store, but it's still going to exceed $15 per figure.

Did they say when the estimate ship time might be on these?

As I recall, going all in in the latest KS, resulted in figs/dogs, suits etc, averaging right at $15 a fig.

Only with the unlocked stretch goals, though--before those were factored in, they were around $20 each. And even then you had to pledge nearly $1000 to get that price. Which is not unfair for what you're getting, but if budget is a concern, that might not be a realistic pledge amount.
