Definitely has my interest. I'd spring for multiples in different colors (desert tan, olive drab, swat black and Cobra blue) if the price is workable.

I like it, but to me it almost looks too realistic. Maybe it's just me, but I like the vehicles to be a little more unique. The headlights give it a sort of cross-eyed look. And it seems a bit too tall. The bottom quarter of the cabin is just dead space. If it all sat a little lower it would look sportier. I guess by then it would be a Ninja Combat Cruiser or Vamp 3 or whatever they were called though. Any chance of doing something completely ridiculous like a Shaman?

Will you eventually sell these at an online shop if this goes well?
I don't think anyone would mind a markup for a more stable platform for add ons later on. Some kickstarter only stuff and add on swag might help your campaign succeed. Like kickstarter only paint jobs or kickstarter only accessories. As for KS-specific merchandise, I am not currently planning to produce any exclusives at this time. I want to streamline the process by limiting the total number of items and goals during the campaign. Ideally the campaign will offer some variety while remaining manageable and affordable for backers. Quote:

People keep bringing up price point and I would like to take a moment to point out that the Vamps from POC/ROC and the 30th line are realistically untouchable on the secondary market for less than $70. Absent the double clutch the figure that comes with it (Steel Brigade or Night Fox with the NCC) can be viewed as mostly unusable due to 5 POA articulation. So, if the price point is in that region it should be viewed, in the vein of the market we currently have, as competitive with other like made vehicles.
If you can make this vehicle more desirable than the VAMPs and VAMP Mark IIs, then you can reasonably look at a price point of higher. My personal assumption would be that most people saying if the price is right don't want to pay more than $25 for a vehicle, which is unlikely, no? This is possibly a smaller print run, premium vehicle that is offered through a small business with initial overhead costs to cover, so thinking that it will be a low price point should be unlikely (stop me anywhere in here if I am way off base) in the early stages and as molds are developed and cost to develop drops the company will be able to offer more products at a similar price, and when you factor in CPI adjustments, it should be more for the consumer per dollar spent in the future. Bottom line, if this product looks good, pay the price in order to fund future development and availability of more vehicles, which will in turn possibly/likely drive down prices on the VAMPs on the secondary market as demand drops. I think if your price point can be in the range of what is already selling on the secondary market then we should, as a community, embrace it.

Well said, but I'm hoping for a $40 to $50 price range.

The first word that came to me was "SEXY!!"
Holy crud!! I know you don't want to reveal all your secrets up front, so you may already have add-ons like this already in development; but for obvious reasons, I would suggest (as one of the posts above) a dual .50 cal mount, and two different types of 4-missle launchers for some serious VAMP and STINGER upgrade/customs! This pic also answers the other question I didn't ask, looks like you can seat 4 figures AND have 1 figure standing in the turret. Not including how ever many figures can fit in the back. I plan to support this KS, cost factor will determine exactly how much I can contribute. With the various Marauder, BFS, Eagle Force, etc. Kickstarters, I'm afraid this awesome project may suffer from Kickstarter fatigue. Jason |
