Yeah it dropped a little from 200 per person, due to new backers coming in just for the vampire level.. It should go back up when they offer more options..

You can bet they had no idea it would take off like this. It's starting to reach that critical mass point where it will grow faster due to the sheer number of people involved. Not quite exponential but close enough.

I know they said they had planned for 4 million, but I think that was more of an in house joke than a serious plan. Yet there is an outside chance it may even reach there lol

I think reaperbryan said they though 1.2 million or so was realistic, but had serious goals out to 4.15 mill just incase

DEAL! How about these two beautiful new Storm Giants drawn by Talin? Each Undertaker or Vampire Level backer will receive one of each of these two Storm Giants, and you can get extra copies for $10 a pair!

Hello mister vampire level..

That stretch is awesome. I'd love to have those two giants. I hope we make it!

with them being 18-30k a hour, it will be reached..

Edit: Should have been 18-30k

Walls of self control... breaking.

Well. Those are pretty fantastic.

Spend man!!! SPEND!!

Looks like their goals are being reached so fast, they dont have any more completed minis to offer and are drawing them up as they go.

Love the giants , really considering the dragons, I never use them but they just look really good

those storm giants are amazing. This kick starter might be the best 100 bucks I'll spend all year

No - they have a crap load of stuff in the mix still coming.

However, they also have a crap load of customers who have bought a crap load of metal figures. The new stuff ends up giving those backers something they didn't have before.

Honestly I haven't bought a Reaper mini in several years. I've got a box of them, but new ones...nah. Haven't really D & D'd in a while. Nothing like 200 new minis to keep the yearly average in check.

I think I will name that giantess, Cheesecake, cuz even giantessi gotta show a little swerve. Nice weapons on both of them, Like the sword on the giant, whole mini actually.

...and they are free. What else could you ask for?

I held out until the last 48 hours, but my self control finally failed.

The Vampire level is an absolute ton of great models for the price. Models I don't particularly need, but... damn.

I suspect a lot of people will be in your boat...and thanks to all the people like you...the ton of models will continue to increase!

Well I was a backer for 2 days then I watched some video reviews of the bones range I hadn't realised how bendy and soft the plastic used is whilst it holds the detail great it's just not a material I'm interested in even at such a great bargain price so I'm out best of luck to Reaper hope they have a great surge right at the end and you all get many many more minis.

With one of there lines having nearly 4000 sculpts.. I dont think they are running out of stuff to do, but want to expand on the line also..

Holy @#$%, that's a lot for $100

adding in the many options you can get for exchanging sophie and its a stupid amount of models

Might I ask why? the two disadvantages of softer materials are that it holds less detail and holds paint less well. Bones has been amply proven to both hold paint very well and hold detail more than amply well, too. What precisely makes you still dislike them?

And if the Giants get funded then I crumble.....I wanted all the fire/ice/storm giant models and the fact that I can swap out sophie means I could get all of them and all the models for $105.....That's just to damn good to pass up. I'm sure I can find a use, even if just painting, for some of those models.

Giants should be funded in 3-4 hours tops.

Giants fall, and so do I.

Unless the next Stretch Goal sucks, that is.

We will welcome you both to the dark side with open arms

If it keeps up like it is.. it will be in 2.5 hours..

Penny-Arcade just plugged Bones. I imagine that might have an effect.

At this rate we'll probably hit 3 more stretches before in the 40+ hours till the end.
