Final couple of days. Synthetic nylon brushes designed to be economical. There seem to be lots of happy backers from his earlier campaign. Currently $45 gets you 20 brushes in miniature specific sizes shipped to your house.

You can get cheaper nylon brushes from craft stores, but the better selection of sizes and many happy backers may make you decide to give them a try.
I'm hoping they work well with citadel contrast paints which I've found to be brutal on natural hair brushes. I'm also intrigued by the round drybrushes.

If I had the money I'd be kinda tempted TBH. I tend to treat some of my brushes pretty hard so I occasionally buy cheap craft store brushes so I don't need to worry

I don't think i could ever justify buying a dry brush specif brush like that. I just get a coupon and buy a set cheap from a craft store, or makeup brushes from a Dollar store

Am I reading this right - they've raised $140K by rebranding some $5 Chinese synthetic brush sets? More power to them I suppose.

At $5 for ten, you can buy 90 brushes from Walmazon for the same price as a pledge to this campaign that gets you 20 brushes.
I don't know if it is just slick marketing, if the apparently large numbers of previous campaign backers are just ignorant/naive about brushes, or if the large number of return backers is a true signal that these are actually good brushes for the price.
Either way, the campaign's success is surprising.

I do think there is something to be said for it being easier to see where your paint is in a white brush ( is it clean? Is paint close to ferrule? etc.), and the brush assortment is certainly better for mini painters.

I've found the $5 brush sets to truly terrible, so these might be better compared to the $8-$10 brush sets.
