the thing is I understand cutting that joint out to save costs if you are making a torso that's only good for one character. but they are already planning at least 7 characters using that same torso. I just sort of think if you are going to put that part to that much use, you might as well spend a little extra for the bells and whistles.



I hadnt even noticed that because I didn't follow that one, modern military style doesnt interest me.

Torso joint is my least favorite thing about increased articulation. It is always loose on Marvel figures. It adds zero useful movement but everyone loves it.

14 days left to go and about 7.5k until they reach their goal.

and here is a handy tracker. Looks like we just got a nice bump that puts us almost 4k away.

It's the addition of the minions. They almost have my full attention ...

I wish the CA minion were blue-skinned as well, to be another CE minion. It would be cool for CE to have a ninja minion and a techy minion. If Zica is wanting to push CA and his buddies as an Action Team, they don't need generic troopers. A good 'pulp canon: needs a sense of danger inherent in the premise, and having more good guys than bad ruins that sense of danger, imho.

But, I know how to paint; and I retcon pretty much every toy I get anyway so Zica's doings don't affect me or my play. I do hope this succeeds so we can get the next wave. I'm not much interested in Action Sidekick, but Action Hottie, Dr Swap-a-Brain, and the Action Reliant Robin should be fun.

BBTS kicked in some more to put this over the top to get funded, and now it's a question of getting to 30K to get the CA Trooper funded.

If they do another multipack that has 6 or 7 of them for $100 we could probably get there pretty quick. We still have 9 days to go.

They say down on the campaign page where they added the Trooper that he'll be available as a 7pack in the BackerKit, fwiw.

I've got $135 pledged for this, to get the All-In 7pack plus another Evil Henchman, but if the Trooper funds I'll just change the 2nd Henchman to the Trooper and paint his skin blue to make him the third guy on the Evil Action team.

They've unlocked the trooper already. $20 for an individual or $80 for a five pack. No $100 for a seven pack as previously discussed.

From Zica:

Strike Force Trooper factory sample! There's still some tweaking to be done but everything is still on schedule for a November release date.

Speaking of that November release date, it's been pushed back to January.

But, they showed off the Dr Evil mock-up:

Ok if this one had been available I would have been in on this KS. Dr Evil looks awesome
