Well, I'll blame Azazelx and myself, we've always been too mouthy for our own good.

It really isn't hate (check the Robotech one for that)

It's a mix of
confusion (why is it taking so long),
joy (oh the minis are so pretty when we eventually see them),
discomfort (we pretty much all knew it was going to be like this when we backed)
resignation (well we will get the minis eventually)

etc

Actually, Jin has the toes of actual pigeons. It is both horrifying, and oddly sexy. Like he is the badly translated concept art for all Asian pigeon toe porn.

While it may be convenient to "Blame Dakka", RH really ought to just, oh, I don't know, look in a mirror?

Wow, the hate here... its impressive. Found this thread when the company made thsi comment about updates "There are quite a few reasons as to why it doesn't happen, and even more as to why it doesn't happen on Dakka" and i had to come see what was up. anyone care to bullet point whats the problem? i cant get the jist with the epic snark for 60 pages.

I doubt it's really hate in here; if you want to see hate you need to hop over to the Robotech thread where there's organized movements of people trying to obtain refunds as opposed to one person deciding he didn't want to bother and having his co-backer buy him out and a stream of gifs liberated from RH's own feed.

What goes on here is frustration, and a general consensus that it's better to laugh than to cry so the crowds resort to snark while waiting for their models. Really, if RH would stop working on providing so much excellent fodder for snark and instead focus on delivering models, things would be much cheerier around here. Alas, such is the plight of the artist that actually doing what you said you were is just...well it's just too much. If RH's track record with making then keeping commitments is anything to base this on anyway.

I'm sure when people get their models at some indeterminate point in the future people will be happy. However, I think it's safe to say that RH has cost themselves more than a couple backers for any future KS projects with their antics on this one.

Yes. What is nice is that I just noticed I was kicked off of Raging Heroes's facebook "friends list." If that is how they thank a backer, they can go screw themselves.

Ok...maybe a *bit* of hate.

I thought you weren't a backer anymore, though. The point could be made that they were doing you a favor, by recognizing your bowing out of the Kickstarter and removing you from their friends list so that your Facebook page isn't cluttered up by all those announcements for a line you aren't interested in anymore.

Seriously, though, that seems...odd, to say the least.

Jim, I think you just summarized the entire RH KS from concept to today better than anyone who read all 187 pages could do. The false starts, the clunky handling of stretches, the random communication blackouts, the backtracking of how far along they were, the missed deadlines they put on themselves, the mystery of their communication's guy fate, their overall attitude towards the backers...all of it wrapped up in that neat little sentence.

It's hard to dethrone "delicious" as the company's Dakka tagline (a la "Mantic. Almost..."), but that's one in a similar vein while delicious could actually be positive to the uninformed.

"Raging Heroes. That seems odd, to say the least."

Yeah, Jimsolo, Good one. Until I saw the winky, I thought you were serious. It's still my credit card that gave them money, after all.

For frak's sake, even Defiance hasn't unfriended me, and I've been *a lot* more vocal on their page. Never thought I'd curveball praise Defiance one day...

$25 well spent, Mathieu?

Welcome to the club!

Same here... was a friend for a day before they decided to kick me again ;(

Wait, is that why I've had to "like" their page about 3 or 4 tines? They keep binning me? I don't even think I've ever commented on their fb page.

"Dakka Dakka, marked for life."

I suppose that's what we get for, in the interests of honesty, integrity and accountability, attempting to oppose the prevalence of ambiguity of identity in online forums.

Or something....

Okay, new stuff? I honestly cannot remember okay, so sorry if this is a repost of older stuff.

Old stuff. From the last update.

I feel I am in excellent company, if all of you got banned as well.

As long as we don't get baned here.

I think I need to stop reposting their things from Facebook, I'm having the hardest time remembering what has and hasn't been shown.

We should make t-shirts with a big scarlet D in the middle of the chest. The best part is we could supply a litany of appropriate answers to what that D signifies.

If it's because of Dakka... then there should be two D on the shirt. Cuz if you're gonna go cheesecake (a la Raging Heroes) go big or go home!

Maybe back to back?

Or lower case back to back?

db ... yea, that.

No, a double D being licked. Seductively.

with the slogan "Delicious"

It should come as no surprise to any of you, but I too have been banned and booted from the Raging Heroes FB Page.

Did a quick check, I'm still besties with them. I wonder for how long.

I have to admit, it does surprise me!

They seem to devote a lot of energy to things that really should be that important to focus on.

Maybe this is what their 'Community Manager' has been focusing on?

I'm legitimately confused. Did you mean 'shouldn't be that important' or am I misreading this?

Mirielle doesn't talk to me any more, but I'm not blocked yet XD

I'm thinking it was said very sarcastically. But without any markers to point in that direction.
