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.
“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.
“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.
“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!!!”
And don’t forget all our great new kits are on Pre-Order over on the Spikey Bits’ Webstore!
Editors note: While I haven’t gotten my Kickstarter minis yet, expect a full review as soon as I get my hot little hands on these minis! -MBG
