Interesting, but I'm skeptical of the demand. The prototype is flawless. These remind me of similar lines of historical figures, presidents, warriors of the world, etc…. They all had a similar weakness. Each figures, while excellent on its own merit, had no other supporting figures. They were mostly one of kind, one offs. There were no vehicles, playsets, and accessories. Will there be a Justice League of Cultural Heroes?

I would like to see this be successful for the sake of the Sigma fans (of which I am definitely not), but I think the problem is, they need a huge amount of money, and hypothetically even if they managed to get this off the ground it would need some kind of support, animation, video game, commercials, etc. Otherwise it becomes like so many other random figures we've all seen like Jesus, Ben Franklin, Crazy Cat Lady, etc. I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about, they sell them at novelty stores, etc. I'm sure there is an appeal for them but not a big enough one to sustain and be hugely popular.
my thoughts exactly. |

I'm likely to pledge as well, but i'm afraid $125,000 is a somewhat unrealistic goal. $50-75,000 maybe.
Also Rama is not what i would consider a well known character to western consumers. He almost looks like an Avatar action figure honestly. Like Dirk pointed out Sinbad or maybe as others have pointed out someone like Hercules would have been a better choice to drum up support and launch the line with.

They released another update featuring pics of some of the other designs. I don't WANT this line to succeed, I NEED this to succeed.

I just saw this, it's very unfortunate that the project is unsuccessful since I really, really LOVE the concept of international, cultural heroes in Sigma 6 style! I think it's unique and original.
I really wish they can get another shot to go with this stuff...

I really like this... It's really fresh and I bet these guys will look killer displayed together. Seriously considering pledging
