@ghent99 Batman and Conan are the only ones that have an upgrade path in this kickstarter by picking the Bat or Leader pledge levels.
Except they didn’t count on anyone backing both.

I’d say that unless you liked to play the versus mode from Batman with Conan minis there’s no real reason to back this kickstarter.

The only reason I’m in is because I do want the Conan themed minis.

The funding goal is only ridiculous when you consider that they tried to fund a complete game like Conan with 80k.
However when you look at what may be needed to run a company and have some working capital then it might be more realistic from a pure financial point of view (they need at least a year worth of wages and cost of being a company … ).

It’s the kickstarter paradox … ask a realistic amount and people get scared thinking it might not fund.
Ask an unrealistic amount and they may have to take a loss in order to deliver.

Also … while they may not need to design the minis from scratch. They have about a year worth of wages to pay for whoever is dedicated to this project.

It sucks that Kickstarter has devolved into a marketing gimmick where it is impossible to judge if the goal set by the creators really is sufficient to complete the project.
