I love this guy!  I like the pebbly skin texture on the sculpt.  You captured the personality in the brow ridge and underbite really well!

 

Does he really fit on a 2” round base?  I thought he looked longer than that.

Thank you.

 

Yes, it fits on a 2" base (at least its feet do and the swamp base):

 

 

 

Rear view I hadn't posted yet:

Good thing they’re building one!

Yup, pledge now a little bit. Once KS is closed in November you get charged for that amount. The Pledge Manager will open shortly afterwards, and you can add more money in through the year.

 

For Mexico, you'd be Americas. Pacific would be more for places more westerly islands like Fiji.

You will be in the Americas shipping zone. Be very glad the Pacific folks took several weeks longer than us to get their Bones 4 last time. Welcome to the place!

Grrrreat thanks! Now im picturing a guy sitting atop a moai waiting for his packages...

Careful gentlemen, that's a sure way to get yourself in trouble on the forums (IE no gambling)

I think that sounds about right, Nunae!  Certainly, based on the fulfillment shipping from the Kickstarters in the past, most of the orders seemed to go to the U.S., followed by Canada and the UK, and then perhaps Latin America.  

 

Yeah...I don't know how other people fare, but in my city (roughly 100k pop) there is like 30 or so in the loop...

I suspect the original would have been more like Kah-tah-bleh-pahs, since it comes from "καταβλέπω, (katablépō)". But by the time we reach later Gygaxian, it's unclear what the preferred pronunciation would have been. 

 

I henceforth pronounce the period from 1974 to 1989 "The Gygaxian Age".

Accepted!

I know that there has been some grumbling about no unlocks overnight. But in addition to the whole, "sleep is good" thing, I think that Reaper was scrambling a bit at the end of the day.

 

From previous comments, they plan the beginning of the campaign, then based on how that's going they refactor and plan more. It's my impression that they blew through all of their planning, including their contingency planning, by yesterday afternoon. So it seems likely to me that some quick meetings probably needed to happen before we get on to the next unlocks.

 

In particular, I suspect that unlock breakpoints will need to be figured out, the order of unlocks will need to be adjusted, and possibly some emergency art orders will need to go out. Last night might have been very busy in Denton without anything being visible from outside the company.

Has anyone checked to see if Texas is still there...?

 

While I don't expect them to stay up all night, coming into work a little early wouldn't kill anybody, you know...

Someone might have already asked this, but is the base separate? 

[nathelbiya]

I guess they are still in emergency meetings as they didn't expect us to reach the third map until the beginning of the middle slowdown and now have to plan quickly for what happens after that map.

 

(Wild speculation)

I mean it ends on the ocean, so they were obviously planing to have the pirate ship revealed during the slow days to bring some push to them. And now we might reach it much sooner...

Agreed. I don't think they expected to hit $1M in the first 7 hours. I bet there was a lot of scrambling, and nailing down of things that were stuck on a board with tape. Today will slow down a bunch, so hopefully they'll have a chance to actually catch up. 

 

I do kinda miss the videos they did in Bones 1.
