It’s not a current Kickstarter anymore, as it not only funded this week, but ended last night.
HissTank member Cryptid Toys (Austin from Rockville, Maryland) completed a successfully funded Kickstarter named Army Alphas 1:12 scale (6 inch) action figures, with 484 backers pledging $93,891 (which exceeded his $60,000 goal by 56 percent). These military genre 6 inch figures cost from $25 to $33 each so if averaged out, each backer spent approx. $195 for nearly 6 to 8 action figures total. We now have more tangible market data concerning how the Action Force 6 inch figure line by Valaverse might perform, by comparing it to this similar crowdfunding effort, and this data would seem like a very favorable forecast for Bobby Vala’s project next month.

Not trying to start something here, but that fact makes this evidence all the more compelling in favor of a 6” line. People (not me, either) want a 6” line, and are even willing to take seemingly risky gambles to do so. Admittedly, I really like Bobby’s storyline/use of Action Force/figures presented to this point. I hope it does really well, and doesn’t go the way of the MARV Kickstarter.

Solid evidence, indeed. Especially based on the fact that his first KS STILL hasn’t delivered.

I don't think the backers received their figures from the Kickstarter prior to that one either, but like me, they took a chance on the Larry Hama action figure. As Hobbes the Tiger once said, "We're kind of stupid that way".

I understand exactly what you mean. I've never spent a dollar on a six inch scale figure, but I did spend cash on a Kickstarter for a Larry Hama action figure.

As Hobbes the Tiger once said, "We're kind of stupid that way". To this point, I STILL trust that Bill is working honestly and hard to get the aforementioned product out. He offers updates AND has boots on the ground now, overseeing that disaster of a factory.
