I gotcha...I was just curious. As odd as it may sound, I'm less interested in most of the female figures but I really want the stretch goal figures.

So, I think we'll at least unlock the Security Ops before it's all said and done. The number of people at the All-In level is probably going to cost us a stretch goal or two towards the end as they bail out/drop to lower tiers. That's 29 people that are either VERY optimistic, bad at math, or took the tl;dr approach to being a backer.

I predict that this thread will fill with people asking how to successfully paint the actual unlocked goals a nice "Cobra" blue. With 2 weeks left, and the general consensus regarding female action figures and their saleability seeming to be proven correct, it looks like we're going to finish a good way short of $154,000.
I feel like my Security Ops threshold is a conservative estimate. Doubling the pledges in the final 2 weeks is not at all uncommon and it could be a lot more than that. With the first MTF Kickstarter, that final 15 days tripled the take. In fact, the very last day pulled in more than the first 15 of that campaign. Besides, even if we don't hit the Security Ops, it doesn't mean that color variation will not be offered on the Marauder Store. It just means that we won't have access to buying them at KS value prices. Nobody is going to have to paint anything. |

I think you're discounting how much urgency plays a part in getting people to back a project. You can't just linearly extrapolate the performance to date to see where it ends up -- which is why prediction algorithms like KickTraq are pretty useless. It's like trying to predict the weather 15 days out.

A bit off topic. How to the standard pistols that come with Joe's look the the MTF holsters?

The last few days will rock this KS. Still, I think it will fall short of the MTF due in part to the restructured stretch goal inclusion vs. option to buy. I understand why the change was made, but it's simply not as good a deal.
Not stoppin' me, though. ;)

The two "secret" stretch goals may bring in a lot of support. The extra couple weeks this kickstarter is running adds that much more to the final total(more time, more available paychecks=more money=higher totals). With getting male figures AND getting them earlier, the fact that this is a female line is really minimal. I am extremely happy with this kickstarter and am backed at the Valhalla level and might even add more if it goes higher. I got 6 each of the MTF guys, so getting 6 each of the 4 new guys is 24....and I still want a couple of each female and several extras of the gear packs. Bring them on!

This was a comment posted last night by MJ. Awesome!
"We do have 2 (TWO) NEW stretch goals we plan to add to the event. One will be a NEW female figure that will be unlocked when we hit a supporter level number and NOT tied to a contribution level." |
