Looks interesting. How many more Sophies are there beyond the boxed set from KS1?

Actually, I think I like the little chibi hedgehogs and such, and the Ogre and core hound looking things in that pic more than the Sophies...

Where's Sophie thread : http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51104-is-there-a-complete-list-of-all-sophies/

FRPGames has a Sophies under $10 : http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=search&s=reaper+sophie

The hedgehog was a hard-to-find limited edition : http://www.reapermini.com/legionofjusticeandcaeke

The Ogre and hound are easy-to-find CollectA figures: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Collecta/latest/page4

No idea of mouslings will be in the second KS, so here're the in-print metals you can order in November direct from Reaper : http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/mousling

Unfortunately, Reaper's online store only lists some of its category, so you might not find a miniature unless you know what to search for. Try the Reaper forums for help if a certain kind of miniature interests you!

Good luck!

Keep in mind though, Collect A figures are not miniatures and are not really Reaper and are not listed with the proper size (I believe the mm listing should be cm instead, but I cant recall right now). The company which makes them also happens to own the factory which the Bones/LE figures are made in, and when setting up that program, they arranged to be the North American distributer for the Collect A line.

Collect A figures themselves are more in line with stuff from Schleich and similiar toy companies. Some of them may be useful, but you will want to verify the size before you purchase them.

Oh yah, and just a bit over 48 hours now.

I have a Collect-A dinosaur. It ended up being too small for 28mm, but perfect for 15mm as an extra large specimen. I also noticed that their size isn't consistent. There are multiple scales for the same dino species and one species might not be in the same scale as another. They're nice, but just beneath Schleich in quality.

I'm going to wait and see on the Bones 2 KS. I'm sure one of my friends will go in on it and I'll probably add stuff to their pledge as I don't really want a dump of 100+ unpainted miniatures.

I hope they have Dinosaurs in bones 2.
did all previous bone contributers get theirs?

How about this? Or this?

They aren't Reaper products, but they are basically Bones dinosaurs.

Thank you Ced for such a detailed post! I'm not a diehard Reaper Fan (meaning I'm not a Reaper collector, though I do like their models and have quite a lot of them, aside from Bones) so my "Sophie Collection" is simply made up of the ones offered in Bones 1. I guess if they offer something similar in KS2 I'll pick it up as well, and given that I dropped close to a grand on Bones 1, I might hold off on buying more Reaper products for a month or so, and see what's on offer in the next KS. There's a few figures I'd like to get for FRP games, but since the free shipping threshold for AU was recently doubled to US$100, it's a lot harder to get that much I want worked out (particularly presuming a Vampire II) will be around that much.

All the regularl backers have had theirs (and they've at least made a start on replacements for where there were missing damaged items, not sure if that's finished yet)

but I've seen a few reports of retail backers (undertaker level) still waiting

so this should be going live.. soon? Like.. today?

Orlando, I'm guessing you meant that all of the "regular" backers have received theirs, but not all of the "retailer" backers.

so when is the new KS suppose to happen?

Anyone want to start a pool? I'll say the funding level will be met by 10:30 AM EST and they'll break 250k on day one.

If this one is similar to the other... it's going to skyrocket like a madman.

The first KS will be a tough act to follow. I wonder if they will have a hard time living up to the first one.

I wonder if it will fund as fast as Zombicide 2, if not faster.

How long did that take until it hit a million?

This could quite possibly end up being the biggest tabletop kickstarter if they play their cards right.

I'm trying to keep my expectations in check. I sure hope they come up with some interesting stuff, since there's supposed to be a lot of new sculpts showing up.

$10 mil, easy. If they get wargamers interested.

EST is 5 hours behind GMT?

That would be huge!! The last stretch goal would be $1m by itself

Pretty sure this link will work.

The launch is 9 AM, Oct 1 CST. You should be able to enter in your local time to calculate when to wake up, schedule your coffee break or otherwise get to a computer.

This one will no doubt be record setting, the first Bones campaign is currently the #6 most funded KS campaign and there is little reason to think that this one wont do as well or better than that one. No other tabletop games are in the top 10.

I tend to agree that if they do more units which are wargamer friendly it will help to pool in more who sat out the last round, but they still have to remain conscious of their base who are roleplayers. Ive been bugging them about it for several months and the past few days they have gone mum on talking much about it at all...so I think they have some big plans which they want to get a lot of impact from at launch. Normally they are pretty open about discussing plans.

In any case, just a bit over 15 hours till we find out.

You dropped 1K and you're not diehard fan? I see...

Yeah, the free shipping threshold went up for the US folks, too. I hope international shipping won't be too much. For KS1, the international shipping make the Vampire pledges $125, which was still about fifty cents per figure. Pretty interesting that it may be more cost-effective to buy a Vampire and give away or sell of cheap whatever mini's you don't want.

Random rambling time! (: My gut reaction is that Reaper's catching up with their target customer base of RPGers. AFAIK, Reaper was actually a pretty early "name brand" KS, and many customers familiar with the company missed out on the previous KS. Reaper's pretty much been targeting the RPG market for the last umpteen years, and still has a large catalog of miniatures that haven't been converted to Bones. My impression is that they really haven't been supporting their existing miniature game systems because they don't need to, so they're not presently oriented towards miniature skirmish gamers. Maybe they've decided to give that chunk of the KS market to CMON and Mantic, much like they gave the miniatures skirmish market to GW long ago. If you look at the RPG miniatures market today vs. many years ago, Grenadier is gone, Ral Partha is gone, and Reaper is about all that's left?

Yeah, I remember the pre-Reaper days, and when their figures started to show up in the former FLGS. Nowadays they pretty much have the old RP/Grenadier market for all the RPG players sewn up. I don't know if they "gave" the skirmish market to GW, as GW already had it pretty firmly sewn up even when Warlord was release and at it's peak. They have a good opportunity to really pull some of the Fantasy Wargamer market now with their very reasonably priced monsters, as GW's prices keep shooting up into the stratosphere, and their human-sized sculpts - even in Bones - are better than most of Mantic's and priced at a fraction of GW's.

From what I can tell, they lost quite a lot on shipping so I'm not expecting a deal as good as the first one, especially for ROW backers.

I'll still be keeping an eye on it with the aim of trying to snag an EB if there is one, and then wait til towards the end to decide if it's worth going in for. In reality I decided I didn't need most of my first round and sold it off, so I'm going to be a bit more cautious and won't be jumping in purely because everything is so cheap.

Exact same time as my dental appointment today. Typical. :p

Oh well, should be able to nab an early bird regardless, definitely don't want to miss this!

http://www.reapermini.com/misc/_KSTWO/Tease2.jpg

Looks like they changed the color scheme for this year. 2 hours to go.

Dont feel too bad about the dental appointment, I will be stuck in planning meetings with the local DAV as we figure out how and where we will be driving the retirees from the Enlisted Village now that the government has shut down...

If I am lucky I might be able to get a chance to peak at it around noon, hopefully by then the first 15 or 20 stretch goals will have fallen.

I was thinking wouldn't it be cool to see Hasslefree Bones. Back in May Kev White was invited to Reaper Con. to the best of my knowledge Kev hasn't sculpted any Reaper miniatures before. so it might be possible that we see some Kev White sculpts this time around either new ones or perhaps some of his Hasslefree one...Just Supposing

Crap now that you say that, I have a dental appointment at the same time too!

edit: I lied, it is at 9:10. Gives me enough time to see the launch!

If that was the case, any existing willpower regarding this KS will evaporate.

mmm... Bones Grymn...that would be nice...

If Reaper happen to have any EB pledges i will probably try to grab one when the campaign goes live, but if not i will be waiting until the final few days to see if this becomes worthwhile to me.

I really wasn't happy with the way Reaper handled the ROW shipping during the first campaign, they waited almost a month to actually announce why the ROW orders were taking so long to ship. Which in the end was a perfectly understandable reason, but the lack of communication up until that point was enough to make me question if i would support Reaper's next Kickstarter attempt.

Somewhat off topic, but didn't Hasslefree mention they had plans to run a few Kickstarters over on their Facebook page? i remember reading the actual post but i can't find it anymore. (I'm really starting to think i may have actually dreamed it...)
