I'm really curious about the shoulder and wrist articulation. I've heard the shoulders described as anything from "butterfly" articulation (like MU Spider-Man) to "compression" chest (like the chest is somehow pliable). Also, the way I'm understanding the wrist articulation is that the wrist peg will snap into the forearm like a ball socket instead of just a peg swivel.
As long as the articulation doesn't take away from the sculpting, I'm all for it. Jason |

Hey guys. I just got back into my love of customizing, starting with a big order from Marauders. I noticed the leg pegs changed? I almost broke the tan and white pants trying to get them on the hip. I havnt experimented with my blow dryer or hot water yet, I wanted to see if there was a secret or something Im missing on getting these legs on these fresh new pants? Also, any other secrets or tips Im missing out on? I getting some news reading through the thread, but taking care of sick family at the same time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I believe you're referring to the new pattern on the hip ball joints. To avoid stress marks and issues I put the legs in hot water before attaching them to the waist piece. Makes it easy and you get a good strong fit. You may also encounter problems attaching some torso pieces to the waist ball piece as well. Just have it work with it. I've actually lightly sanded down the ball piece to get some to work. Last edited by Dod Ear; 10-27-2021 at 09:33 PM.. |

Just recently back to collecting and new to Kickstarter. Did I totally miss my chance to get the VN figures, or will they be available again?
Thanks |

Others maybe also know if he intends to do a preorder for them at some point. I believe he's done that in the past.

They will be available again, with different price points, when he adds them all to his website after they are produced and shipped. So it's not imminent, but it will happen.

Update:
Hey Marauder Task Force Vietnam Backers! The Marauder Task Force-Vietnam Backerkit is scheduled to close on November 15th. At that time, we planned to LOCK all the orders and CHARGE all the credit cards. But we just realized that at almost the same time, the Skeletron Roboskull Kickstarter (Marauder GR is also heavily involved in that project) is due to end on November 13th. Consequently, all the Roboskull Kickstarter backers will have their credit cards charged almost at the SAME TIME as the Marauder Task Force Vietnam Backerkit Backers! Not an ideal scenario for any of our supporters, involved in BOTH Kickstarter events, to possibly get hit with 2 large credit card charges at once! In addition, we are working on adding some NEW items to the MTF-V Backerkit. But any new MTF-V Backerkit Release items won't be finalized until late November and/or early December. Well past our planned November 15th end date. So to help those supporters that joined the Marauder Task Force Vietnam Kickstarter and might ALSO have joined the Skeletron Roboskull Kickstarter, we have moved the MTF-V Backerkit order registration LOCK & Credit Card CHARGE DATE to Jan 2nd 2022. The 3 benefits to the Lock & CC charge delay: 1-NO interference with the ending of the Roboskull Kickstarter and the ending of the MTF-V Backerkit registration. So any supporter, that might be part of both events, will not be hit with possibly TWO large credit card charges at the same time 2- Time to possibly add more NEW Backerkit Release items to the Marauder Task Force Vietnam Backerkit Registration. Remember, once an account is LOCKED and cc card CHARGED, nothing can be added to your MTF-V Backerkit Reward Package. 3-Our supporters will be able to enjoy Christmas and won't have to worry about their cc cards getting charged for their MTF-V Backerkit add-on items until 2022. Thanks again for your support and we hope you all like the new Marauder Task Force Vietnam Backerkit Registration end date & Benefits! We hope you ALL join us in the Skeletron Roboskull Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...tron/roboskull NOTE: The LOCK & CC Card charge date delay is NOT mandatory. Contact us if you are NOT part of the Roboskull Kickstarter, DO NOT want the option to add any of the possible NEW items to your Marauder GR Vietnam Backerkit package and DO NOT want the Christmas payment break. We can "lock" and "charge" your order NOW. Moving the lock & charge date is for those that want to enjoy any of the above listed 3 benefits from the delay. When your MTF-V Backerkit account is LOCKED and your CC card gets CHARGED is still YOUR CHOICE. REMEMBER, once an account is LOCKED and CC CARD CHARGED, NOTHING can be added to your MTF-V Kickstarter/Backerkit Reward package. Thanks again for your support! All the Best! MJ & MGR Crew
