DreamForge-Games Early Product Feedback
I wanted to share with you some early feedback from the Kickstarter backers that have gotten their shipments already.
Don’t forget if you missed the Kickstarter, you can still get in on the action, by pre-ordering any of the new kits here yourself.
This project is far from over and not without oversights and mistakes. There are a few things I wish we would have done differently and a few processes that I need to implement before we move to the next stage.
Such are the realities for a small company building a relationship and process with another company a world away.
The Kickstarter orders are starting to make it into the hands of the backers, and the question is what do our customers have to say?
(Quotes pulled from DakkaDakka, Facebook and the DreamForge Kickstarter page).
“They are without a doubt the best plastic miniatures I have ever looked at or handled in my entire life of 32 years.
The level of detail is crazy. The level of customization is insane. The Leviathan just is absurdly amazing. A marvelous feat of engineering. Also retail is $120 on it. They will be available for preordersoon but only will ship after all KS backers have received theirs.
Dreamforge and Wargames Factory have absolutely conquered the plastic miniatures market. Renedra and Citadel look like crap compared to these kits.”
“As for future kickstarters, as long as Mark makes pretty models he will continue to receive my paychecks.”
“Just some first impressions when opening up the boxes:
1) The box is awesome. Great printing and high quality cardboard. Not cheap and flimsy.
2) All the sprues were stacked then sealed in a plastic bag. I liked that touch as nothing is flying around.
3) holy crap that detail. I may have to buy a new sprue cutter because I feel dirty if I touch these models with my tainted pair (used to cutGW)
4) The instructions for the stormtroopers is kind of difficult to understand at first.” (Note: The revised instruction insert did not make it in time for the Kickstarterorders)
“Braved the snows of Eastern PA to pick up my package of plastic goodness this morning, and I had high hopes for thing, almost too high. But there were the kits, nestled under a crumpled copy of the Deseret News, and all I can say is my hopes were not too high, and Judgedoug (the first feedback posted) was not overselling things at all.
I literally said “wow” when I opened up my accessory kit: the number of bits is staggering, I mean, I knew on some level the number of items, but to actually see them, as opposed to just numbers, almost incredible! The detail on the models is better than I have ever seen on plastic models, better then I even thought possible.”
“Mark, just want to give you and WGF kudos for these models and how excellent they fit together! Damn nice miniatures indeed – can’t wait to get my Morty.”
“This afternoon, I received my Leviathan Crusader model kit with Kickstarter bonuses. Very high quality kit with very crisp moldings and sharp detail – easily superior to GW’s Gargant. I’m very impressed with DFG’sdesign and WGF’s execution & production.”
“I just got my Eisenkern Troopers in today, and I must say; WOW!! These are some of the best molded figures Ive seen in a long, long, time! Clean, crisp detail, flawless join edges, absolutely no warping at all! Just terrific! I had some concern about mold quality, since my Greatcoat Troopers from Wargames Factory were quite disappointing, but these are just stellar! I should have pledged for more sets!!!”
All very high praise; I am more than aware that these are the first glance reviews and that there is a certain amount of excitement in holding something new. I will take the compliment and say thank you again to all the backers who made these kits a reality.
And don’t forget all our great new kits are on Pre-Order over on the Spikey Bits’ Webstore!
All the best!
