Clockwork would be cool. I'd love something along the lines of a cannon golem.

Holy crap............that comment section is AWFUL. shut the ef up about your personal gak. I asked a question, it got buried. A few guys asked to chill on the nonsense, and they just ramped it up.

Absolute and complete disregard for anybody else.

Ya know, now that I think about it, those Barbarians in core was a stupid "bone"head mistake.

They were playing with fire, and I think they got burned a little. Make it an add-on, and everyone would be happy. Should have put in their Hobgoblin set in the Core pledge instead.

This is a solid example of pushing your beliefs on someone else from the other direction and really is inexcusable. Again, add-on and it's no problem.

Wait....what? This is one figure out of 150+, and that nobody is going to force you to keep it, paint it, or game with it. How is this a "bonehead" mistake? Are breasts really that offensive to people? There were at least 3 bare-chested female figures in the core set from the Vampire set when Kickstarter 1 finished. There weren't riots in the street about any of them. I think you're blowing things out of proportion here.

Also, I may not have seen them, but where is this community outcry against some bare skin that caused people to drop their pledges left and right?

You are allowed your opinions, of course, but I think this is a bit disingenuous to blame Reaper for "pushing their beliefs," when all we're talking about here is a bit of plastic.

It's not me who was opposed to it. This is in response to a few folks saying those were unnessecary and offensive. They were then run out with pitch forks. All they were asking in the comments was it should be moved to add-ons.

You have no problems with it and that's fine. But a few people did in that mess of a comment section. They were ridiculed excessively and you could tell pledges were dropping a little heavier during that period. I just feel they had a valid point of not wanting to be locked into those minis and their views were thrown back in their face. It would have been easy to make a quick adjustment, and in the future should have been considered.

So yeah, Reaper was out a number a pledges (arguably more due to the intolerant masses of opposing views) because that was added to Core. Don't now how much it affectexd the first one, but same thing. How hard would it have been to switch around the bare breasts as add-ons and slip in other things in their place? Why are those folks forced to be subjected to that if they want to participate in the basic package.

As an Orthodox Nipplite I am pleased to see successful companies supporting my belief system.

Can you teach me more about this branch of your religion? I'm quite interested in this.

EDIT- I'm not sure if the pun was intended or not.

The point is, why couldn't it just be an add-on? Everyone wins that way

I'm sure the vitriol was a result of the Storm Giantess brouhaha from the last KS, which resulted in one of the sculptors refusing to post on the Reaper forums again. Thankfully s/he's at least commenting on the KS comments.

I've corrected the last two Core updates for those concerned about the Such Things.

Spoiler:

Thank you for protecting us all from the ravages of nipples.

Actually, any way we could get those Girls Gone Wild stars and speech bubbles and stuff from the late-night commercials? Surely those would be appropriate to these excessive levels of smut.

Geez dude, it's one bare breast. Is it really that big of a deal? I mean, if they were "pushing their beliefs" on you, we would be getting that nude sacrifice with the two cultists. Why weren't you complaining about the six breasts rat mage?

Understandable. It's also sort of the style and subject matter Kev White sculpts as well, so that's a factor to consider.

Out of curiosity, was there a similar outcry with the Kelpie models, the dryad, or the Sea Hag? The only difference is the nipple, really, and is that where people will draw the line - a raised bump that's smaller than a grain of table salt? Bare breasts are ok so long as there aren't any nipples? Or is it because she's a human, not a humanoid fantasy creature? I'm trying to find some points that would make one sculpt ok and another offending.

It all just seems bizarre to me, when all you'd have to do in the end is file or cut off the offending bit, apply some thick paint or some green stuff to remove the offending parts...or just throw the model out and be done with it. I've almost done it on a few of the KS1 Bones I have that are just uncooperative or poorly detailed compared to the metal versions, and I'm not up in a fuss about it.

Won't anyone think of the Nippilites?

You are asking me to defend a mindset that isn't mine. I'm saying people posted an opinion, and people weren't tolerant of that view point, and as a result had a higher then normal dip occured right then. I don't have a problem with the model, but is it really that big of a deal someone thinks it should be an add-on? Thinking that is an unreasonable request is more what I am opposed to. I admit I came off as a little strong in that OP on the topic, but that's in response to the complete lack of tolerence shown (not by Reaper mind you. It should have been focused at the masses of asses).

If we put the barbarians into add-ons instead of core, the terrorists win!

I want more barbarians for core! MORE!

'MERICA!

The way the necklace is, it wouldn't be hard to paint a tight top on her after filing the nipple down IMHO.

I think the breaker point seems to occur with actual human beings. You got me on the details.

Here's hoping that the Bones III Kickstarter will be entirely breast-themed. Or, as I prefer to call it, the Boobs III Nipstarter.

It's already happened. It was called "Kingdom Death: Monster"

I really don't see the issue with the breast myself. I think some people are driving this way out of proportion on both sides.

Anyway, I'm ready to see some more monsters! The KS is steadily going up!

I agree!

The issue is being artificially inflated!

@Ral..Alpharius: I see what you did there

IMEF Anyone?

Dammit. Now I'm in for #3. New IMEF Marines! That should make Chris Valera happy. It certainly makes me happy.

I'm still not keen on that saucer, but the Greys are growing on me a bit. I think I'd rather have had their not-Terminator robots instead of the UFO. Or that 3-pack of robots they've got.

What the hell are we supposed to do with one door?

Build a terrain piece. As with most of Bones, it is just expanding the range to include those pieces so that they can be sold later.

decide whether or not you like it in bones.....

and then buy 50 or so more retail if you do ?

@Barzam: Where in CA are you? I'm in the SF Bay Area. I should be able trade my KS1 IMEF marines for the telephone box!

100K to the next unlock. Hope there's going to be another trick card...

Rooms made out of just doors will get old fast.

Reaper just renewed my faith with the new add on.
