I’d prefer that the paratroopers be held in reserve strengthen the next Kickstarter campaign.

Hate to say it, but I agree with that. I just hope we complete WW2 before moving on to Vietnam or whatever comes next.

That's a good point. I'm not so big on WWII so I'm not thinking much about round 2. I'm waiting for the day they do civilians (including children). I need to make some Joe PSAs with action figures.

It is kind of surprising nobody has done a variety of different sized bucks in all of these Kickstarters. HACKS needs some gnome/dwarf type bodies in addition to kids for the other lines.

Kind of spit-balled a list of what I might choose... probably going to change the lineup a lot. Especially the add-ons. I know I want the Brit but not sure I want all the Marines.
EDIT: Just realized I have 13 in my pick 12... oh well, back to the drawing board. |

I think the Backerkit on this one is going to be interesting. If you kept up with the comments on the actual Kickstarter, MJ and Rueben asked the backers which they would rather see: the Desert troopers [the Stretch Goals left as they were in order] or the Paratroopers bumped up [U.S. Paratrooper then German Paratrooper]. Just scanning the comments, it looked really close.
Personally, I vote for the Desert figures (the guys in the shorts) just for the variety of parts that can be used for customizing. I'm not necessarily a WWII fan, so I look at each Stretch Goal as what can I use to customize an action figure. The fact that the Desert figures have button up shirts with rolled short sleeves and shorts has more custom potential to me. However, I would not be disappointed at all if that US Airborne (Grease Gun) figure was made available in the Backerkit. I pledged the "Pick 12." Having a hard time deciding which 12 to pick! Currently, I think this will be my choices: 1. Russian Officer (The Russians were my main reason for backing!) 2. Russian Tanker (The Russians will be my MTF Oktober Guard!) 3. Russian Machine Gunner 4. British Officer 5 & 6. British Bren Gunner (X2 - great custom potential here) 7. US Navy Corpsman 8. US Marine (camo) 9. US Marine Radio Operator Native American 10. US Marine Japanese rifleman 11. US Army Tommy Gun 12. German Black Soldier (I'm thinking there's some custom potential here, or I'll go with the Red & Black - haven't decided). Jason |

I went with a baker’s dozen as well. Still not decided on what figures to choose tbh. Definitely some red & black figures to add to my MTF Red Shadows. Thinking the khaki jacket US army guy might be a basis for a Duke custom. Maybe a couple of black figures for Cobra Commander or the clockwork assassin from Hellboy. Want at least one Brit for an Action Force commander and maybe a WW2 Canadian Logan. Then maybe some Germans. Decisions, decisions.
When accessories are available on the website, then I’ll be giving a load of German kit to some skeletons I’ve got. |

Jason I'm a pick six guy, so I will be adding: 1.-3. 3/4 of Russians with red stars, not regular soldier with WWII helmet. 4. American Tommy Gunner for custom TBD (Sgt. Savage? My friend's grandfather?) 5. Japanese American to make Daniel Inouye custom (swapping #4's Tommy Gun with rifle) 6. American Army soldier for a custom of my father-in-Law's father. *May add all green Army soldier in Backerkit, and will see what else made available (would love head pack, possible dudes in shorts).
