I miss some shields on this guys

>>6330430
I do like the look of these. I'll probably get a few. I kind of wish some of them had some weapon storage. Kah Lee especially with a sheath for his katana.

the white wolf head it's a nice addition for Pale but the bow needs an aditional color to look better

>>6330430
They are too cartoonish for my likes, but I wish them good luck.

>>6330430

the heads are too human looking for me. These are neat for sure. I love battle beasts, hate what minimates did with thm, beast saga was too gimmicky. If these had like clear animal heads, Id be on board. I love the amibigious cybertech armor. Give me an Animal though, not a furry human.

>>6330430

They look nice but I don't really like monkeys and animals.

>>6330433

How do they get those kinds of elbow and knee joints embedded into the arms and legs without using pins? Mythic Legions use those for elbows and shoulders. Are the limbs just molded around the joint?

>>6330514
the lnees I supose use the same sistem as BFS Haks

The elbow... the torso is made in 2 pieces I will see if I can find the image

>>6330509
>>6330487
the Toxious and the wolf heads look decent to me

I'm seeing a problem with the knee joints. They're taking a page from Boss Fight and using double hinged knees. But there's no thigh swivel, so the figure will be unable to sit down and cross its legs, and other poses will not be possible. I think they should go for a single hinge knee joint, and include a swivel.

>4"
Nah dog that's a pass for me.

No thigh swivels sucks but they would swivel around the ball to a small extent. Not sufficient. Another issue is the way the heels are designed. I can't for the life of me understand why they don't just do ankle rockers. Use the exact same joint for the foot but put one part on a round extension on the foot and put a hole in the foot at an angle. So damn easy.

this is a old render I dont know if they will use this

>>6330584
>>6330537

The joints just plug into the hole in the torso.

I mean how to they embed the joint disc itself into the arms and legs? Like the elbows on Mythic Legions skeletons. There are no visible "pins."

>>6330621
maybe the torso pieces gts joined like the modern joes? I' m not sure to be honest maybe you should ask them on Facebook, they seems to answer almost everithing

>>6330621
looking at the 3d figure breakdown the answer is the discs don't have holes, they have peg nodules molded in, and thus the attatching limb will have bumps to pop on

This means a cleaner finish with no peg holes visable on the end result, but limbs will probably be fairly easy to pop on/off (which is subject to preference for good/bad feature)

>>6330463
That supposed to be Lion O?

Original character, donut steel!

I know I'm going to get one since theylre are small monkey people compared to my other figures.

yesterday we got 26 k, today only 28...

It seems the things are slowing down I'm worried this will not get funded if things go this way, first day was going so well...

>>6330509
minimates thm?
beast saga?

I need more info about it

>>6330537

They look OK, but it looks like it's trying to emulate Thundercats or monkeys, and coming off very human or muppet looking more than "animals"

I think Apes are the worst thing to do first. I don't know why that was their choice. The bodies look really nice, but they just look boring. Toxious looks awesome, I probably grab him, even for 20 bucks, but....they gotta hit some 75k? Yikes.....

I think those toys are about a comic, the white monkey guy is the main hero and the world is a strange mix between fantasy ancient world, but also with robots, flying motorcycles and stuff like that, the lion guy seems to be his friend and there are also some beast females, they seems to fight against an evil monkey overlord

>>6330892
Very normal KS trends. Nothing to worry about yet. The Articulated Icons KS trended in a similar way but had huge increases towards the end. Hopefully we can reach some of those stretch goals. The newest one shown also comes with a new head for an army builder, so I guess that will help with variety for those who want multiples.

what you suggest? some of those figures are not even monkeys

>>6330970
I'm aware, but these look tremendously better, and action figure KSes have been doing much better since. Nearly all of them succeed and even the ones that had second go's have done much better than their first. I think these will succeed. How far past their goal, I don't know. Future waves are slated to include females, birds and bats, gorillas, so some pretty interesting stuff.

>>6331001

The faces still look really similar and really generic. It's not trying to have a defined look, it's trying to play it safe and have mass appeal.

If heads are swappable, make more. Just straight up use dog heads or something goofy. The line is called animal warriors. Monkeys are too similar to humans, it just looks like funky looking people as warriors. The wolves are on the same body and their heads are....ok I guess.

Do lizards, do birds. I know FURTHER down the line they want this stuff, but they should put something that's eye catching first, not something easy first.

>>6331024

So you say the problem is it needs to look more "real" like more animal like faces?

I supose I see them more like "alien-like creatures" like some kind of Star Wars/Star Trek/classic sci fy/Hee-Man like monsters

>>6331032

I mean, yea? A more "animal" look. They just seem bland. And if the heads come off, they could have really different options. That should be the beauty of a kickstarter line, to make things a normal line would not

I'm excited.

Been wanting these for a while.
Can't wait to see if/how they updated any of the former unlockables that haven't been shown yet

Huh, this looks like they took Lego Chima and turned it into action figures.

I think it's a genuine issue that they went with apes and monkeys as their main theme. There's other figures or heads in there, but most people will look at the main pictures and see monkeys. And monkeys aren't popular animals, they're not something that draw people in. They really should have made the main faction wolves or cat-people or something and maybe done an ape or two as an extra.

Don't think this is gonna go too far as a result.

>>6332267
Do you realise Brutis and Kah Lee where in the first kickstarter and also in this one?

>>6332305
I didn't see the first Kickstarter. And this Kah Lee is not the same as the one in the drawing, and is missing a lot of the things I like about it. The color scheme, the design of the gauntlets and kneepads, the spiked footcovers, etc.

Same with Brutis. The things I like about him in that sketch are his colors, his corset-like armor, his leg pauldrons, his bandaged arm, and of course, that amazing looking jawbone club.

I mean, maybe it's also a problem of the toy sculpts having way less personality and worse proportions than the drawings. That is entirely possible.

How can I see the other people's questions for the Q&A? there is a way to see it?

>>6332383

I see what you mean. The KS lineup looks appealing, and the characters all share a common body to obviously offer variety with less tooling needed.

They seem to be big on the alternate heads to make different characters and sometimes, different species. But the key, imho is the need to simian feet with the opposable toes. The non-simian alternates could use the feet shown, but for simians, the feet is what makes the ape an ape.

That's why most Kickstarters exist.

Generic ninjas, generic knights, 1980s Greek mythology movie rip off toys, generic military figures, generic spacemen... none of these toylines would ever be successful in walmarts, but they do fill a niche that collectors want

>>6333529
I think BFS toys are something more than "generic" in fact those guys have some of the most original figures you can see (including future lines concepts) with their limited molds

>>6330430
They say that lack of ankle rockers was just a design choice because they wanted to retain lateral movement, rather than just up and down and the rockers. But of course, why not use the "figuarts" style ankles that have both. Or for those familiar with Marvel Legends, the way the most recent Taskmaster had his ankles done.

>>6333460
I forgot to even think about the feet, ya, they kind of do need to make another pair of feet to actually make them look like apes.

Fantasy in general bombs in toy shelves, so they really wouldn't sell all that much.
The only fantasy line that ever sold worth a damn was Lord of the Rings. Everything else, despite how much money the movies made, like Harry Potter, Narnia, the Hobbit, etc, sold so poorly that their lines were all clearanced within a couple of months.

>>6333529
True that it's a damn shame the entire distribution system isn't overhauled and these definitely fill a niche. Just sucks that is has to be basically an uphill battle every step of the way from the very start. It simply shouldn't be this way.

>>6333647
honestly I'm more fan of BFS space series 3

>>6333647
Well, gonna have to disagree a bit on that. The fantasy lines you mentioned- and let's include "World of Warcraft" were made by big toy companies who have to move hundreds of thousands of units to make money. And they sell through middlemen like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us. Plus, they have to buy licenses, have to make unique molds for each character, and if the movie tanks, the toyline sinks with it.

For a smaller outfit, they're selling directly to their audience, and selling 5000 units per character is considered successful. Mythic Legions only got 1166 backers, but made their lines sell-out successes. People are willing to drop bucks (like almost $400 per ML backer) for the right product.

>>6333647
Those toylines didn't bomb because they were fantasy based, they bombed because they sucked as toys. I specifically went looking for some good fantasy figures to compliment the Mythic Legion line...and it's very slim pickings. Fantasy figure are usually low quality figures usually crapped out for whatever big budget movie just hit theaters. The LotR stuff just had the good fortune of being made by Toybiz who actually gave a damn about making cool toys, but even they weren't perfect (the Bridge Direct figures were pretty decent as well).

But when one of the "better" big-box fantasy lines are made by Funko, you know the bar is set painfully low.

>>6333793
what good things ever done Funko? honest question

>>6333802
Some of their Legacy figures were pretty good. That's about it.

>Everything else, despite how much money the movies made, like Harry Potter

The Harry Potter line ran through pretty much the entire film series' run. Mattel released figures for like 6 years and TOMY made the Deathly Hallows figures.

ah i really wish these were in 6 inch scale.

>>6333678
Like i said, they're kickstarter/collector toys that only have to fill in that niche that wants them.
I specifically mentioned movies that were very popular, yet had toylines that got clearanced fast, because people dont really like to fantasize about fantasy in general. Sorta like how comic book movies are great, yet most of the people who like the movies don't care about comic books at all.

>>6333793
Just so you know, 4H had lines that were extremely niche. They couldn't even release one figure a year until they got their kickstarter going. So despite actual quality fantasy figures, no one really cared enough about their toys and they carried these figures to conventions for years to sell them.
Just shows how the market isn't always there even when the quality is. See also various fantasy/medieval lines from McFarlane and others like that werewolf knight that gets brought up.

>>6333989
Only the first Harry Potter did to seem well... well enough for them to release fewer toys for the second movie.
After that, Mattel seemed to abandon the series and only smaller companies like NECA thought it was worth the meager bucks they'd get, and even NECA dropped it and gave it to some shitty british company.
It may not be a bomb, but considering the subject, it might as well be.

today we will have a new reveal, right?

>>6334868

Planet of the apes was never "cool".

It was a good story, at least the first movie was.

But it was good because it was a smart sci-fi twist story. It wasn't cool because it had apes in it.

Unless they're monstrous and rampaging, monkeys and apes aren't cool. And these look cheeky and goofy, like they're made to be internet meme pics.

Granted it doesn't look great to me either, but a lot of your complaints are illogical and you come off like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something to complain about. The one weapon is clearly much bigger than the others, and so is the figure itself, which explains the lack of alt head. When figures get bigger, they typically come with less stuff. The cost has to work itself out somehow.

>>6339260
this figure will cost the double, so I expect some armor, extra weapons and extra head, like the regular figures, if not don't be surprised if less people put their money on it

Today's reveal. Pretty cool colour scheme. The head is the same as Atreiu's alt head, which I was going to use as his primary, so even though I like the look this one will be a skip for me (assuming it's unlocked).

>>6330433
Can someone clarify, seems like these guys don't have any thigh swivel is that correct?

What's the reason for the 1/4 thigh weird hips?

>>6354760
It's hard to say if i miss it or not.

I collect a ton of lines, but since i mainly play with GI Joes, maybe I'm just used to not needing to use the thigh?
And I'm serious about collecting a ton of lines. Probably of the ones /toy/ talks about, i have not bought a Shinki, those shotabots, nor a JoJo (i have been meaning to buy one of these though)

>>6354906
Im in the same boat. I collect lots of lines and thigh swivel at this scale is not really missed, for me at least. I find that figures that do have it seem to be more wobbly and not as sturdy. Compare a joe vs a marvel universe figure with thigh swivel and the joe is usually more sturdy and easy to pose. Also, i usually pose my figures in pretty normal stances and not super exaggerated hyper acrobatic "look at my anime pose" stances. Im more concerned with good arm range and wrist articulation for weapon placement.

Right now, Animal Warriors is in a slow spot 2 weeks before the end. Usually there's an uptick on the last 2 days.

I was... until I saw there is no black body for Anubis... also no white or red one, it's like those guys dont know how to make money

Congrats to these guys, they did it this time! Currently at $65,381. I wonder how many stretch goals will be reached.

Also weird to not see an official announcement, unless I caught it the moment it happened or something.

Gonna order Pale, and two brown blanks. They will be used as Kobolds to use with my BFS fantasy figures.

I wish they would have had a black blank.

Almost forgot about this kickstarter,

No chance of getting to this guy, huh?

Eh we didn't get any stretch goals unlocked. The lukewarm hype around the KS is really unfortunate, I guess these guys the furry animals are too stylized for other 1:18th collectors to pick them up, and the IP is too obscure to stand on its own as a legitimate collection.

I hope that at least the KS can make enough profit for the creator to take risk and offer the rest of the stretch goals as half waves offering without KS campaign, or maybe join other studios to have more coherent offerings.

I guess it's hard to start a brand new toyline on their own like what this line is trying to do. The Raptor KS was riding on dinosaur toy collector autism, Mythic Legions was riding on MOTUC fanboy faggotry and the ninja KS was riding on Marvel Legends faggotry.

The first stretch goal is possible if this behaves like other kickstarters.
