Anyone know anything about this:

They look pretty nice, and from what I gather, the minis from their first Kickstarter have been very well received

I'm tempted to back, but the fact that it's not getting much action makes me wonder why ...

 

Anyone here back the first KS? Anyone have any of their minis?

I like them. The bases are so plain, but the sculpts are cool!

Agree about the bases, but I always rebase anyway.

That's good to know. I wonder why this current Kickstarter doesn't seem to be doing very well?

I really liked the birds especially, so we backed!

I'm impressed to see a variety of centaurs. I'm not sure I really need two druids and bards, though. I wish there was a fully-armored centaur knight or something. Tempted to back just to get some more centaur variety considering I allow them as a playable race, but I'm not 100%...

Really surprised this KS is taking so long to fund. The first one funded, and I’ve seen nothing but glowing reviews of the minis.

I'd say math.

 

Looking at the first one, it pulled in less than they're looking for.

 

That would be a damning process under almost any situation.

 

"Hey, we raised $10!  Let's ask for $40 on the next KS!"

It's PVC plastic, so it's competing against Lasting Tales (and Massive Darkness 2) as well as the Interactive KS miniatures (and upcoming Monolith KS and Dungeons and Lasers KS).

I like the bird and elephant guys. The centaurs would be cool if there were more variety in the classes.

I like the centaurs and minotaurs. I could definitely do with more "class" versions of both, but I'm worried the minotaurs will be too small to meet the "large" size that they should have.

Looks like it's the last two days and I don't think it's going to make it unless a large number of people just watching decide to back it now.  Some of their wording in the initial landing page may strike the wrong cord with some people. "We aint' re-launching" etc...  I've seen multiple campaigns re-launch. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
