It isn't on the web page, because it was developed in tandem with the MTF figure in the last few months before the KS campaign. It reminds me of a different project with Skeletron last year where we updated a 5 POA, non-removable helmet figure design from a certain British toy line into an o-ring figure with a removable helmet that Longbow could use. |

We figured out a way to incorporate the MTF arms, waist and legs to create a figure that I think will be popular, no matter how you choose to incorporate it. It is not MTF and it is a direct part of the Longbow universe, hell it could be twice as useful as any other unlock by the time we reach it.

Yes, that's the part I was getting at I guess - any idea how long the backerkit will be open for?

Not sure just yet. My best guess today is that we will open it up about a month after the KS and leave it open for at LEAST two months. We may go longer, we just have to see how the KS plays out.

I know it's too late for this Kickstarter, but maybe in the next or in the store later on would it be possible to sell replacement arms and crotches molded in say olive drab, tan, dark blue and black? That would help repair a ton of our old figures and add new life to them. Or even copy Hasbro's idea of selling a figure with no paint apps to save money too. Some blank bucks to customize would be a huge help. |

Less than 12k to go before Stretch Goal #3 is unlocked. Really want that MTF figure funded, as it will make a good desert troop builder and will make for some good body parts for future figures.
I have been looking for decent graphs and data on successful Kickstarters that would help predict how this will go, and I am still not sure what to expect. There is no set pattern. Some are front loaded (like this one looks right now), some are more evenly spaced, and some are back loaded. They ALL seem to have an upswing at the end, but they don't usually look as big as the huge uptick at the end of the Skystriker Haslab. I have defended the $30k stretch unlocks, but with the campaign stagnating, I do find it odd that $78k unlocked the first 4 figures, but double that has not yet unlocked 3 more. I'm sure we will get there, as I've said I expect a minimum of double the first day's total by the end, but I am easily demoralized during lulls. |

I thought we would blast through the unlocks after day 1. I do think the $30k stretch goal is too much. Needs a big push |
