Bovine Scatalogy that it was a vocal minority at the time of the EF Returns KS huh?
Well, I think most of us want both and hope you are right because I want this new one to fund, and more and more to keep coming out both for the nostalgia hounds and for those wanting some new "characters" in a military line. For me, while I was aware of the toyline I didn't really collect them because they didn't match up scale wise to my Star Wars, Remco Sgt Rock and Bad Guys, and then GI Joe.

I've followed along with EFR since the very onset (I posted on the 1st page of this thread back in 2014).
I backed the 1st Kickstarter All-In plus army building a few. I've followed each of the 100+ updates, been involved in the over 1.1K KS comment conversations, followed the thread here and all FB postings and comments (both the retired page: https://www.facebook.com/eagleforcereturns/ and the new one: https://www.facebook.com/FreshMonkeyFiction/). I've never observed a loud clamoring for an all 80s all gold Kickstarter. I have observed a very vocal and excited fanbase over the EFR we missed like Redwing II and modern Harley and new concepts like Monster Force, Ninja Force and COPS figure (BP Vess), etc. My first reaction when I saw the direction of the new KS was, 'Huh?' I'm invested in EF enough to go All-In this time too. There are some great overlapping figures, like General Mamba (who was in MF), Savitar (who was in NF) - so that's great. Of course, Agent Grimm was in the BBTS wave as well. Overall, I hope things move more toward the concepts that were revealed years ago and many have waited / supported all this time in hopes of seeing them produced.

It was definitely NOT here or in the existing KS, as the stuff I saw from it was people decrying that they'd never back the existing KS because they only wanted the classics.

I mean, I'm not making this up. As I recall, it was some non-Fresh Monkey Facebook group that was the source of a lot of that - possibly an existing Remco one? I do remember Bill specifically speaking to it elsewhere, and he's made reference to it in the Fresh Monkey Fiction group on Facebook as well.
It was definitely NOT here or in the existing KS, as the stuff I saw from it was people decrying that they'd never back the existing KS because they only wanted the classics. But, perhaps it was the limited scope that was the issue. I don't have a FB account (or any social media - just not for me) so I just observe the public discussions / posts there. I think there's a private EFR FB group now that Bill sometimes posts in that I can't see. Oh well - it's all good. Last edited by Dod Ear; 06-27-2021 at 09:31 PM.. |

Sorry if that came out the wrong way. My post wasn't in reference to you specifically at all - just my personal bewilderment at how the gold all 80s KS wasn't something I was expecting when I felt pretty plugged in.

I think there's a private EFR FB group now that Bill sometimes posts in that I can't see. Oh well - it's all good. I was surprised by the vehemence of the few posts that I had seen. I wish I still had access to that Facebook group, I didn’t join it and I think it has since gone private.

Why in the blue hell do I get into these pointless debates? I literally just posted a few quotes taken directly from posts made during that time and people are disputing it. If you don't want gold uniform EF figures, then don't support the Kickstarter. It's like people are actually angry because FMF are making something they don't want.

I'd say more concern it might derail the train. Remember for the longest time there were doubts the 1st Kick would even deliver. If supporters from the first time drop out for the second round because they "don't want to chance doing that again"..well Let's face it There's a LOT of gold here, and the average supporter might get bored. Bill may be taking a chance. It's his to take of course. But it is a valid concern for those of us wanting to see this line stretch it's legs and have a future! A nonsuccessful Kick might not kill the line but it certainly won't HELP.
