Gauth is very anthropomorphic than the usual run of Reaper dragons.  I think its why there is so much difference of opinion on whether people like him or not.  most of the reaper dragons are definite quadrupeds and the only time you see them rearing is when they are striking.  Garuth is very much a bipedal dragon and his shape implies that he normally walks around on 2 legs. 

 

Whatever your thoughts, having one of the classic pewter dragon recasts in the core set is pretty cool.   

 

Yeah, I have always thought that Guath is more of a draconic demon than pure dragon.

After the first 2 days, 1 unlock per day becomes pretty normal throughout the intervening weeks. Check out the funding curves (on kicktraq) for Bones 2 & 3 for instance

Bones kickstarters are awesome, but it's not 30+ days of party party party. Instead, every day (or a couple of times a day) something new and awesome gets unlocked and everyone gets to be excited over it! And then the last few days of the KS things ramp up again. The last day is maybe the most exciting of them all.

So me sitting here staring at the pledge amount isn't going to make it go faster?!?!

 

Maybe I should get to work...

Never going to happen. We would never undercut our retailers by discounting something that they are trying to sell. Just as we pay our bills by selling existing models, so do the thousands of women and men that run FLGSs across the world, and that relationship means a lot to us.

 

I absolutely know why you would not do it. But in my mind, selling a "new" batch of Goblins when your retailers are selling the "old" goblins is basically the same thing. Or heck, do a KS with prices equal to retail and I bet people would still back it. Everyone keeps saying the point of Bones KS is to get new models into Bones but then the same monsters come up again and again.

each project we do add one group of existing models into the core, but those are never purchaseable as Core Extras, only inside that set. We feel that this mitigates the situation

I always try to keep in mind that the folks at Reaper are fans, love the hobby, and have a real passion for it.  BUT this is a business for all of them also.  So while they want cool and exciting figures, they also need to keep their practical hats on also.  It always seems to be that a lot of thought and discussion go into what they are going to do.

Yeah, we wouldn't be able to buy more bones, if we all got fired for not being productive for a full 30 days!

 

Speaking of which... :unsure:

My two biggest concerns when we begin to review models are "is there a large enough market to justify the MOQ?", and "Does the line need more/any of this to be sufficiently broad & stable?"

 

Certainly with Bones 4 one of our aims is to diversify into newer things, thus many of the teasers, while also broadening the base of the popular things - more kinds of goblins, demons, kobolds, etc.

That's an interesting thought.

Is is weird that after voicing that, when I went and looked at Gauth again in that light, I actually like it better?

Not at all, I just went and looked again, and I can see it, too.

Hmmm, now I have ideas of moding Gauth with a large flaming sword.

And now, I'm having ideas about seeing what you do, and then stealing the idea.
