I've committed war crimes, spam a lot of images and all that. Plus me and some others have more or less been wet blankets from before it all started, maybe more or less negatively predicting some of the stuff that has happened, like we thought it through or something before pledging.

Awww, Brook, you are a large part of the reason I read this thread!
Re: Blondie: Yea, I am 90% sure the only actual air bubble is the one on the shorter cloak between her knees. Although Finecast style spin cast resin can get bubbles anywhere (as GW's complete lack of QC demonstrates) usually it is on the downside of parts, defined by the "sprue" that connects the feet where the pouring point usually is. So if you are holding the model with the sprue part up you expect the bubbles to be facing the ceiling.
Not a bad casting job, although it is confusing why there would be a bubble there. No reason not to vent that into the larger cloak.

They're not air bubbles, it's called battle damage damn it and if you want that cloak to be undamaged smear it with liquid greenstuff or something.

Yeah, out of all the "wet blankets" you seem like the most-loved. You're pretty good at conveying at being non-instigatory, and conveying a light hearted tone in most of your posts. Plus, you bring us lots of funny gifs. (One of which is going to be my new avatar when I hit 10,000 posts.)

Did Fulgrim Just Behead Ferrus?

Time for me to be an attention whore. My shipment came in today, and I took a few pics. I have a poor setup for picture taking, and only my phone's camera for it, so I apologize for the lighting issues.
First up, it would seem the coasters are collectible, as I received two different coasters, and not the same one seen above.
Second, here's the "collection" pic of everything I received. The only resins are Drusilla, the little mascots, the freebie Lulu, and Natasha. Everything else I went for metal where I could.
Next up is a comparison pic of Drusilla with a random WIP MkII assault marine I had lying on my desk.
Finally, as we've seen a resin One-Shot Blondie, I thought I would post a close up of the metal version. The gun barrel had just the tiniest bend to it,
Now, regarding the resins, I only found one air bubble (in a small spot on Drusilla's jetpack), and it can easily be fixed with green stuff. The resin itself feels closer to Forgeworlds resin that Finecast (the few Finecast models I own have a rough texture and no weight to them, but this resin is a bit smoother to the touch, like FW's). I'll try to get them assembled over the next few days. Also, out of curiousity, the plastic bases have "D&G 2011" on the inside. Is that familiar to anyone?

We are prodigiously complaint ridden folks, that's for sure.
That said, gotta say, this seems to have gone from 'why is the pledge manager a running gag' to 'I have received my wave one shipment' way faster than I anticipated. Glad to see someone is getting something out of a Kickstarter at least...

You're not the only one who is in all honesty surprised by people getting models, especially more or less as promised.

I've had my wave 1 special snowflake personal drop shipping notification. Looks like the package has either just left France or is about to head out, so should be in the correct country shortly.

It's been almost a month of shipping now. They ought to reach the drop ships stuff soon. I hope.
We haven't seen any packaging for retail sale, have we? In an update, or even discussed?

Shiny packaging that entices purchases is important. The last real wargaming FLGS in my area has these great deals on resin buildings, very good price for the quality, but they are packaged in a loose bag with a big printed cardboard tab and that's it. I'll be honest, they're not very tempting.
Or something granola like a post-consumption recycled box with that "Instagram" feel visual they did for the coasters.
Oh gosh... what if all of that time spent on tweaking the concept art was playing with Instagram? 0_o

Because it's not the country they need to be in to be in my hands
As for drop shipping, they've only just finished sorting out the details for that so we might see people using that method mentioning things soon. Though I'd expect that once we get to wave 2 things'll be smoother.
Retail packaging would probably be best in plastic blisters, otherwise how are people going to see how delicious the figures are in order to know that they're not worthy of having them?

Yeah, the original plan was metal for the heroines (excluding freebies) and resin for everything else.
Thee resin heroines was a last minute thing (after the project ended iirc)

Well that's a bummer, not a huge fan of resin, to be honest. Would much rather have had metal, but beggars can't be choosers.

They're currently using simple clamshells IIRC, it may be a bit too gaudy for their tastes I suppose.
