The Bones minis are really good, but there's only 16 of them. This purports to add 30 more.

The $100 level is 67 figures right now, the 60 level is 30 figures.

CHeck it out!

Backed at the $100 level.

I own a few of the metals of these new bones, but I can always use more.. and I was planning on buying a swarm of Bones Kobolds anyway.

god I hate being broke.. LMAO..

The bone stuff is really tasty imo, wish I could back this!

This makes me think of an advent calendar.

I'm a big fan of the Bones material, and I love Reaper and am always happy to see another company move away from metal.

But I think I am finally reaching my Mini-company Kickstarter fatigue point...

Not that I won't be kicking in if I can - I posted on the Reaper boards for a ~$20ish "Pick your 6 favorite Bones minis" or something to that effect. I honestly don't want them all - even if 30 minis+ for $60 is ridiculously cheap.

It's a really good deal. I'm pretty sure that quite a few of those are pretty large pieces. I'm not going to be contributing since I don't really have any use for any of the models. If they do something similar with the chronoscope line I think I'd have to jump on that.

Thats one of the best deals I've seen in a long time.\\

100 bucks for all of that? OH YEAH!!!!

Oh god, another one?

Also, this.

I hope this goes well for them. None of those models are ones I'm excited to see get the bones treatment, but I hope they can have a good run and convert more and more of their models over to Bones.

Would love to back but I'm totally tapped out right now thanks to sedition wars and dropzone commander and dust warfare and 40k 6th ed.

Time to buy another powerball ticket...

Can anyone discuss the techincal aspect of the material? Is this resin?

What about the paint jobs to them? It says that you don't have to prime them, but if you did, would it melt the material?

How does it take to the glue?

And finally, after the paint jobs, people usually clearcoat them, does the clear coat do anything to the material?

I can! They are Vinyl plastic, which is technically a resin, by definition, but really it's more like a Heroclick in durability, etc.

We have not found any primers that have adverse effects upon the figures, Testor's Dullcote as well as Krylon and similar clear enamels also work fine as sealants.

They take Superglue very well, as one of the first tests we made on the material was how easy they were to perform weapon swaps etc.

Funded! Good job, Reaper

$70k goal are the Firegiants



Though these are available for vampire/undertakers only for an add on right now

If I played any kind of dungeon based games I would jump on the $100 level (and curse you American rip-off international shipping!).

I'm in the same boat. Great figures, great deal, no use for them at the moment.

I'd be all over the $100 deal if GenCon wasn't around the corner and I wasn't already swimming in unpainted miniatures...

Hmmm... just looked at the zoomed in bones set and may have to start saving up some money for the $100 set even though I have no real use for it and too many unpainted models/stuff

And why is it another $20 shipping to send the 30 "dungeon attack" models and sophie on top of the $5 shipping listed for the $60 set of bones models? :S

Surely the weight and size cannot be that much different...

I don't know for certain, but if they are using USPS for international shipping, there is a huge price jump once you hit a certain weight or dimensions.

WOW !! They met their funding goal in ONE DAY !!!!

This is going to be a fun ride !!

Well, I went for the $65 Mummy pack with international shipping. Could not justify to myself spending $120 for the next level up. Though I really want the fire Giants if it gets to $70k I still could not justify $130 just to get them

I'm hoping it's because the $100 level (Vampire) is where they will be loading up the stretch goal extras/freebies. A smart move to have the shipping able to cover it up front, before they add more stuff. Otherwise, yeah, it's a bit excessive.

Just noticed - the silhouette of the Purple Worm (in red) is included in the Vampire bannerhead. The Purple Worm is not included in that pledge level right now. Adding the existing models is an easy way to "add value" to the existing pledge levels - and going by the CMON campaigns, $100 seems to be the "sweet spot" that they aim to get as many people up to.

If you look back through the various levels the red icons are used to sort of denote what a reward is. The Purple Worm is used to denote the Dungeon Attack Pack. The fighter guy with the big axe is used to denote the 30 new bones figures. Sophie on the bike denotes Sophie on the bike. So - if you follow the icons you get the attack pack, the 30 new bones and Sophie on the Bike (it appears to be the regular Sophie on a Bike since the Urban Legend version has a UL in the middle of its icon).

Any of those 3 alone is $5, which combines to $15, plus we added in a little for the stretch goals that we anticipate. Note also we're not asking for extra money added for shipping the Fire Giant Option - those will be part of the $25 for Vampire Shipping, making an Overseas Vampire with that option $135. This applies to future stretch and Option goals, as well.

I hope that helps.

Don't worry Reaper - I can see where you are coming from, I just can never figure out why it is so much more to post from the US to the UK than from the UK to the US

I wish you all the best - love the Reaper minis and have a few myself (I put in an order over Christmas to get the Burbon Street Sophie). Unfortunately this kickstarter has come along at a point where my funds are not the best and so for me personally to pledge enough to get the fire giants (the items I really want - may have to save up and get them at a later date ) there would have to be lots of extra stuff at the $100 level (and as others have said that does seem to be the case for lots of kickstarters) for me to raid the back of the sofa and give up food for a while and pledge the extra

All stretch goals add to the Vampire level, there are none planned to stack with any lower level.

New $90k stretch goal revealed - 10 free Undead (mix of skeletons and zombies) for everyone.

which explains why it doesn't seem like a very good deal -- yet.

I've backed this at the vampire level.

I don't really know why as I don't currently play any games these could be used for, but Kickstarter is funny like that
