They added a bit of beard and took off his tie.

It looks like it's a few days into the Apocalypse and he hasn't had time to shave, and took off his tie so a zombie doesn't get a hold of it..

Snippet of discussion from Kickstareter thread from CMON

Creator CoolMiniOrNot 23 minutes ago

@Vinsssounet Perhaps we were not 100% clear - we can't discuss our dealings with Miramax, at all. There is a reason we are not posting pictures. You now have the opportunity, at our expense, of examining the figures before deciding on a return (postage paid on us, to clarify since you didn't actually email). The alternative would be to update you earlier and cancel the figure (we would not be able to provide you pictures to make an informed choice). We judged the former to be the better route, but please accept our apologies if you would have preferred being informed earlier and then have an outright cancellation instead.
Paul appears to be angling for more free exclusive stuff - it's not justified in our opinion (and Guillotine Games) since an examination, then a return and refund is reasonable and equitable. So in case there's any confusion created by his fake post, the one option is a return and refund for Eva and Marvin, nothing else.

Firstly, we want everyone who backs our projects to be happy, within the limits of the project and what we can do.
We've learnt a lot from our previous Kickstarters, this being the first one, and one of the lessons is that we need to actively educate potential backers that these projects aren't 100% final. In addition, no matter what happens there will be a segment of backers that will be disappointed, because the final product does not match whatever is built up in their minds. This is inevitable with anything that is still in production and design - what you imagine and what the designers imagine are unlikely to 100% match, especially multiplied over thousands of different backers. Most backers understand this and can accept it, but there are some who cannot.

These are the types of backers which we are likely to disappoint, and we actively discourage them from backing our projects (and probably Kickstarter in general) if they:
1. View projects as a preorder, with no possible changes in product or delivery dates being acceptable
2. Expect compensation above and beyond what was contributed due to changes
3. Are not generally reachable by email (for technical or personal reasons) but are angry if important announcements are missed
4. Require already polite, factual emails and updates to be phrased in a specific way.
5. Cannot be the last to be shipped, even though someone has to be last.
If you pledged on Zombicide Season 2 and fall into any of these categories, and you are here reading these comments on S1, it's likely you've spent more than $100 on it - this is a lot of money and a big responsibility for us. If you know there's a high chance you'll be mad (for whatever reason), please get in touch with us for a refund and cancellation.


Just for context, Paul posted a fake letter saying that CMON would include a free Kyoto figure to anyone who ordered Martin or Eva. It's written as straight faced sarcasm, but anyone who skimmed the first line of the post may have missed that it wasn't an actual letter from CMON.

Sounds reasonable enough to me... Don't like the models? Simply return them and get your money back.

I'd still rather roll the dice for all the season two characters, as I fully funded enough to receive at least one of each. The odds are still good, as it looks like 90% of the S1 figs came out unchanged, that we will be happy with most of the figs. I just no longer have any desire to get ahold of Marvin after seeing the final product.

Kyoko is the prize for getting your scenario selected and published by GG and you only get to pick either the human or Zombivor version not both you have to win twice for that! She won't be available to buy ever but GG have said they will have other competitions and other ways to win her.

CMoN have confirmed they will cover the postage as well if you really don't want Eva and Marvin and send them back but really even if you don't like them why would you take a $20 refund when you'll still get multiples of that on ebay. I found it funny that someone in the comments mentioned that the design change would hurt the resale value!

I got my shipping notice about 3 hours after I received a UPS email telling me it was delivered?!?

That said I do live about 20 miles from Battle Foam UK so perhaps Romeo's UK Bro hand delivered it then went back to the office to email me about it.

I am not a fan of the new Eva model at all. Its nicely sculped an all, you can make out that its Thurman's face but the whole look doesn't work for me. I'll keep it but I'm a tad disappointed by the new look.

Marvin is fine, no problem there. I would have preferred them to have changed it to either a Mace Windo head or a back to front Kangol hat but it still works for me.

Eagle looks a bit funny though. He has a podgy face and is clean shaven almost. Once he has a bit of paint on him i'm sure hell be fine.

Overall I really happy with the release and its great to have more characters to play with. Why did 9 not feel like enough before?



Oh, is that all of it for Zombicide Season 1, I've completely lost track?

I think that's it. This maybe the first kickstarter I've been in where we have everything that was in it. Amazing!

So I was looking over the CKPM and it lists what's in phase I and Phase II and I'm a little confused. I knew the special survivor packs were phase II, but it lists the "Prison Outbreak Pack B" as phase II as well. Looking at the kickstarter page, I can't really determine what is supposed to be in Pack A vs Pack B.

Anyone know?

Thanks

So guys, if you want to get 1.) more zombies, 2.) more tiles, or a mix between 1 and 2, which is the best appraoch. Buy individually BoZs and tiles, or go for another game set?

I seem to have pledged $35 too much.

I’ve still not heard anything back RE: my over-pledging? I’ve written on Guillotine Games’ facebook wall, but I’m not sure what else to do!
