Buttlesworth is funny, but the monocle makes him absolutely HILARIOUS.

I hope not, because I can only think of one place for it to go, reasonably... and then it would just look like a hanging turd.

Unfortunately, this is correct, Same problem with a moustache, which I also tried.
Also, his name is technically Dr. Reginald Buttleston, Esq, but I keep calling him Buttlesworth since I decided to change it at the last second (I liked both names). If you see that they're the same mini, and lets just presume one is an alias for when he needs to lay low, Mexico way.

If he's got to lay low down in Mexico, remind him not to drink the water. I'm not quite sure how badly he'd end up with a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge.

For some reason my girlfriend doesn't find this all as interesting as me. She's sick of hearing about this kickstarter. I don't know why I'm so buzzed about it either, but hey. Probably because its awesome.
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

I know, I'm utterly fascinated to watch how it does on the last day.
One of my friends pledged too, after I shared on Facebook!
I think these are going to get painted and go on my desk at work.

She needs to get with the program... It's 2013 people. Flying butts are all the rage now.
Also some glorious person just pledged $90 and bumped us up over the 3k mark.
Additional Ironbutts and Vampires are both $6 each, you can have as many as you like.
I intend to limit the Sir Reginalds to one per order regardless since that's sort of a special one; the only one I'm destroying the mold for afterward. That being I am sure something can be done unofficially for my fellow dakkaroos, and also hey holy jfc did you see it's at like $3100 now

If I post in N&R that I'm going to start a miniature company that makes butts with wings, and attach a crayon drawing of it to my post, would it be locked and I'd be told to post when I have something to show for it, or can I continually bump it month after month after month with more winged butt drawings to keep it in the top 10 N&R posts?

So, still hope for this concept art to become a reality:

I don't think you understand, we didn't get enough facebook likes.
OK, in all seriousness now. It looks like Amazon takes 14 days to process payments and then it's available for withdrawal, so it takes I'm guessing 3 weeks for whatever funds are actually available after we shake the deadbeats out.
At that point I can start ordering supplies for casting. I've spoken with a few people about this already - notably Curtis from Ramshackle Games and Whembly - and although I promised I wouldn't spend any of my own money until the project wrapped in case of some last second fiasco, I did cheat a little and already bought a pressure pot and some silicone; probably enough to make the final molds.
I need to re-sculpt the masters because most of the prototypes are ass (no pun intended) as far as technical quality goes - they were adequate for their purposes but that purpose was proof of concept, not a casting master.
I also scheduled a week off of work in July for when the bulk of the casting will actually happen, though I do have other people I've spoken to about doing it.
Lots of stuff to do, supplies to order. I still need to find good postal software.

This is the stupidest Kickstarter I think I've ever seen funded.
...and, before anyone takes offense, I meant that with a smile on my face and joy in my heart that something this stupid could be so amazingly well supported.
Kudos, ouze. If I had the remotest use for them, I'd have supported financially. As it, you had to settle for emotional support.
LOL I'm glad I could be there for you.

There can always be another, bolder Kickstarter. I actually already have any idea for a new one, but that's for September or everyone is fulfilled, whichever comes first.
This was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.
