"There is a LOT of information contained here. PLEASE read thoroughly so that you will be prepared and informed once the campaign begins!
Here is some talk (and FAQ's) about the upcoming format, rewards, and progression of unlockable items once initial funding is complete for our new KS campaign: "Hold Yer' Horses...Here Comes the Cavalry!". This campaign will begin on October 31st at Noon Central, and end on December 6th at 9PM Central of this year.
A new addition to the campaign this time is the ability to simply add any single unlocked item to your preexisting pledge level. This feature will be used to allow the backers to add the KS Exclusive Eagle Force crossover Blackrope, other premium items, and many more offerings through a pull down menu at their backer reward pledge level.
Also a new feature is the ability within certain pledge levels to pick individual items that bundle in that pledge levet. This will allow those who would like to utilize this feature, the ability to custom tailor a reward to their specific needs before moving to add on items.
Our initial funding goal of $76,000 will offer the "First Four" figures in this lineup: Trooper Private, Buffalo Soldier NCO, Officer JG (Lt.), and Major General. This lower funding goal with limited items should allow us to gain momentum and move through a good portion of the unlockable stretch goals.
Our stretch goals are set up at smaller intervals as well (in most cases) to make the jump from one to the next that much more quickly. As veteran backers know, getting a head of steam up quickly is key to reaching as many of the set goals as possible,
The Kickstarter Exclusive is a great step for CFT as it is our first named character as well as a direct Eagle Force crossover with our friends at Fresh Monkey Fiction, AND our first Native American figure offering. The FMF guys took responsibility for writing the bio, and building him into their Eagle Force Universe, and we all hope that you like the result!
A new unlock item for this campaign is something that has been requested in the past, and we felt it was a perfect fit for this army building lineup. At certain levels you will see "Bonus Head Pack In". What that means is at some levels we will add a 100% BRAND NEW, never before seen original sculpt portrait to an already unlocked figure. You get 2 for 1 with each tier of this type that we hit. As these sculpts are not done yet, the actual models will most likely not be seen until after the campaign concludes. As always, you will get reveals and sneak peeks here on the FB page when those come in.
For your convenience and ease of management, each item is already discounted from MSRP for this campaign. The discount varies, but the minimum is $2 and goes up to $5 in some places. That means that once the campaign closes, and orders are locked, then you will need to plan additional purchases at the slightly higher MSRP once inventory arrives.
Another difference is that there is not a traditional all in style package for this campaign. There are still at least two large bundle purchases that will net you a good discount, but doing the math for a more traditional version of that kind of pledge has always been VERY difficult, and we have what we hope is a good alternative. Those details will be made public when ths KS goes live.
A word of preemptive explanation: you will notice all of the stretch goals are reasonably modest with the exception of the first horse Butterscotch. This pledge level is so large in comparison to others because to produce this fine toy, all new tooling costs must be paid in addition to the production run. For to that reason, the jump is larger than the rest. That being said, the second horse unlock is $5000 lesser, as most of the new tooling costs will have been paid for at that time in the pricing structure. The more horses that get unlocked, the less costly the unlock to reach them..
If you note, there are several accessory sets available to unlock with some neat names. Each of these themed sets were intended to combine with figures in this campaign and allow more flexibility to backers where an even more uniform look is desired across your personal army. These include a set of bladed weapons and gear, a set of new firearms, optional gear for belts and sashes, optional belts and sashes, and a 10 pack of hats in colors not offered on the carded figures.
Please post any questions specific to the details contained here in the comments so that they will be addressed. Paul, myself, Sean and Ed will all be working the campaign to keep everyone well informed and all information up to date. In the mean time, please read completely, and get ready for this thing to kick off!
