There seems to have been a bit of confusion surrounding the current Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Action Figure Kickstarter being offered by our friends at Boss Fight Studio. Thankfully, our friend Andrew from BFS stopped by to share some clarification. Check it out –
Hi guys,I’m Andrew from Boss Fight Studio, and I’m seeing A LOT of confusion about us and the Kickstarter setup, so I thought I’d pop on and try to answer some questions.
First, Boss Fight Studio has been around for just over a year – we were founded in last March. While all of us have worked for different combinations of freelance and in-house with Hasbro, we are a START-UP BUSINESS, and as such, do not have a great deal of operating capital. This is our FIRST original product line, and when you aim to produce a very premium product at a not particularly high volume, there are a lot of expenses associated with that – tooling, labor, shipping, packaging, etc. We’re not going to get rich off of this Kickstarter, in fact, even if this thing is fully funded to all of the stretch goals, that’s about what it will cost to run the entire production of our first series of figures. We can’t even pay our salaries out of that.
So yeah, we’re the little guys. We’re fans just like you who grew up with Joe and all the associated toy lines, who are trying to inject some of the creativity and originality that we loved as kids, and that inspired us to follow this career path back into the marketplace. It’s unlikely you will ever see our product at major retailers. This is BY COLLECTORS, FOR COLLECTORS. By helping fund this Kickstarter, you’re helping our creative dreams come true and help a new company get off the ground that wants to be there to serve YOU, the collector community.
In terms of questions about specific combinations of items in the Kickstarter, we tried to keep our offerings relatively streamlined to reduce confusion. We didn’t want to offer hundreds of different combinations of items, and we’re working to clarify what’s in every reward in both the body of the KS and in the FAQ attached to it.
You can join in on the discussion and thank Andrew for the clarity after the break.

Use this thread to discuss the upcoming line of Greek Mythology based figures from none other than Boss Fight Studio!
BFS has shared the following image of the weapon assortment to be included with the first wave of action figures. Bladed weaponry FTW!
You can also check out details on their original Greek Mythology based series from when BFS invaded NJCC!

I don't think they used guns in Greek Mythology.

Good for fights with Iron Klaw.
More swords, the somewhat better, though bossfight could be really good at guns.

I can't wait for their stuff to be available! I hope they do some medieval stuff down the road, I need more knights!!
Can make great ninja weapons too!

Guns are not listed as being a part of Greek Mythology (of course, this is just Wiki though). Do you by chance have a source that describes the time period differently?
Mr Hebime says
Looking forward to seeing their finished products. Hopefully they'll delve into a modern military theme after their initial offerings.

Greek Mythological Weapons?

Take a look at their website, the links posted on the front page, etc.
I'm not meaning greek, guns weren't created until the late 1400s AD, but they were just smaller cannon ball launching weapons.
Sounds interesting from what I read, but as a 3'rd party, the cost's could be more than fss
DESTRO says
I can't wait to get my hands on these.
