Other nationalities need all new tooling, which is why they are so high up. The lower level stretch goals need to be repaints of some sort. I hear you about not liking the solid color versions, but the best you could hope for is deco swaps spaced further apart (since paint apps and multiple plastic stock colors in a single figure cost more). In any case, try not to feel like those are pushing the other nationalities back, because they really aren't. You need big dollars for new bucks, no matter what.

I wouldn’t mind the solid color guys if they had flesh hands...paint rub on hands is a bitch...

For anyone that is curious, there are 15 unique figures, plus the WW2 Weapon Set #1, before you get to the solid color figures: Marine Rifleman Marine BAR Gunner Japanese Officer Japanese Rifleman Marine Flamethrower Japanese Machine Gunner Navy Corpsman US Army Rifleman German Rifleman US Army Thompson German Army Officer US Army Bazooka German MP44 US Army .50 Cal Machine Gunner Germany MG42 Machine Gunner WW2 Weapon Set 1 --- 16 So if the unlocks open that far, you'd need a minimum buy-in of the $232 package plus three $20 add-ons to get a complete set of one of each figure, and one more $20 add-on if you want the extra Weapons Set as well. So, $232 + $80 = $312. There would need to be an additional $56k raised to get from that point past the repaints and into the first of the Brits, so unless you want the repaint figures or intend to fill out a 24-pack with a few of duplicates, it's more cost-effective to do the 12 pack and pop an extra $20 every time something you want is unlocked. You could do that an additional seven times before it becomes worthwhile to step up to the $460 package. |

I don't mind the solid color stretch goals much, but I wish the dark green, and the blue (or a dark blue) had a lower goal. They would work great with some of the previous Marauders figures for part swapping and customs.

Good point! The heads could be added from MTF stock as well.

Here is the current value breakdown at $126,044 and 350 backers, if my calculations are correct:

I posted the Kickstarter on a Facebook group called "Military Toys from our childhood" that's dedicated to "Army Men" and other such types of toys. They seem to be interested in the solid color figures and might sign up specifically because of them.

Excellent thinking, if even one more person signs up its worth it!

Thanks for letting me know I can adjust the pledge; I am in, for a scout squad 'o six! Now we'll see if I'll get the green grey Germans, or if the unlocks happen, get one grey and one black and swap the webbing to make grey soldiers and black SS
