I actually talked about that last night.I mean this in the nicest, most supportive way possible: What was learned from the previous campaign to ensure a success here, versus just re-launching it again and hoping it funds this time?
Thanks. I grew up with 1/18th scale. Once we get all this rolling there are plans for 1/12th figures.I don't know if this is helpful (all I want in this case is to be helpful), but I just found out about this whole thing 3 minutes ago. I'm fully divested from 1/18 scale so I wouldn't have actually backed, but some of those characters look really cool and would fit in with a lot of collections.
As the biggest 18th dork on these and many other boards; that may not be the best business plan. Whatever my, your, and everybody's opinion of the wasteful stupidity of 6in figures; they are unquestionably where the market is these days. I'd talk to Jason Bienvenu (Spero Toys/Animal Warriors of the Kingdom) about the difficulties of starting with 18th and transitioning to 12th. He would be able to give you solid numbers on it, but the evidence is everywhere from Star Wars to EAGLE Force: 18th ain't where the profit is. Skeletron look to be the only people nailing the divide; but they did it by focusing on the vehicle first and made it compatible with both scales. Without that inter-compatibility and vehicle/playset support the cost of 18th manufacture versus the price people will pay doesn't look to be profitable.Thanks. I grew up with 1/18th scale.
