I hope they have the ability to get more than one of a given sculpt without buying the whole set.. because the Jareth on a chair sculpt is a tattoo my wife's best friend has, and she's not getting my copy lol

If not initially, pop in the comments and ask for it with that reasoning :)

I'm so down with that skeksis bust.  Chamberlain was always my favorite.

Him and the Librarian!

Those look so great!

Project is live.

 

OMG, I've never had such sticker shock in all my life.

[SamuraiJack]

yeah.. wow.. i mean worth it, but wow.. so this has to be a pick and choose situation for me

Yup...  glad I was sitting down for that!  I will be picking one or 2 in the pledge manager at the end...  I know Broken Toad's stuff isn't cheap (I have a few of their pieces) and the quality has always been top notch. but that was still painful...  

[Cygnwulf]

oh my....  I knew it was going to be expensive... I was still underestimating it. 

at £ 45.00 for the busts, this is full retail for the most expensive busts currently in Broken Toad's webstore....    They're offering no Kickstarter discount at all here.

[Clearman]

Yeah, same here.

 

Not sure what I really expected, but I didn't expect full retail prices.  Hopefully they will be available on their website at some point.

As it's a joint venture plus a licensed product, I worry they will be even more expensive once they hit retail.  Still likely to pick up a single piece, but with our dollar having the strength of a wet noodle these days, it's going to be really rough justifying more...  

[SamuraiJack]

I'm in for 4 things right now, that might change depending on stretch goals..  I honestly expect these to go up at retail by about 10% or so

Which is very unfortunate but probably true.  Still, $55 a pop before shipping is hard right now, especially given how much shipping costs from UK to US have gone up in the last month.    All for a product that isn't even made yet.
