“This Friday, September 8th at 3pm eastern standard time, a new pre-order comes to Store Horsemen, but this time we’re doing things a little differently. We’ve been trying to find the right timing and method to re-launch the Power Lords four inch scaled action figure line with new levels of articulation and detail, and if you’re willing to go on this little journey with us, we think the time is NOW!

This pre-order will be very similar to all of our previous pre-orders, with one significant difference. We’re going to use something similar to the “crowd funding” method of pre-ordering that’s been successful for us in the past through Kickstarter, and we’ll have a certain number of orders per character that we’ll need to hit in order to make this work. If we don’t meet our goal in the time that we have the pre-order running, all of the pre-orders will be cancelled, and none of your payments will be processed. We’d then just have to step back and try to figure out another alternative strategy in order to get Power Lords action figures into your hands.

One of the things that’s happened in recent weeks is that the factory has come back to us with revised prices for tooling and production, and we were shocked to find that they’re roughly double what we were quoted to begin with. We’re still working things out with the factory to see what can be done to bring those prices down to a more reasonable level, so we probably won’t be posting the prices of the figures until the sale actually launches on Friday afternoon. Multiple factors figure in to decide what we need to charge per figure, and the production and tooling charges are the largest portion of that. That factor more than anything else will decide what the final prices for the Power Lords action figures will need to be, but you can be sure that we’ll do everything within our power to keep those prices as low as possible, no matter what the final outcome from our current factory negotiations.
And yes, there will be a specially priced All-In set.

As a bit of a preview, below are the various characters that we’re going to be offering for pre-order, along with descriptions of their articulation and accessories.

This Pre-Order will be available from Friday, Sept. 8th, 2017 at 3:00PM EST until Friday, Oct. 6th, 2017 at 3:00PM EST.

Payment for this pre-order will not be collected until the conclusion of the pre-order period, and only if the pre-order is successful. For the production process of this pre-order to proceed, we need to meet a minimum production number for this wave. If this minimum production number isn’t met, all pre-orders will be cancelled, and payment for those pre-orders will not be collected. An announcement of the success or failure of meeting our goal for this pre-order will be posted on the front page of SourceHorsemen.com after the pre-order has concluded.

So, I watched some of the videos (with the sound muted as I'm at work): http://www.powerlordsreturn.com/?p=3086

I'm getting the feeling this project is gonna fail and I'm gonna say it'll be due to their apathy. I didn't watch all of them as I have work to do but I watched up through Ggrorr. It's nice to see Disguyzor's 'Man-E-Faces' feature, but can we get some indications of the range of motion on the figures beyond Yargoth's neck ball? Not a single solitary limb looks to be moved to let us know how expressive and playable these things are, and I only saw Yargoth and the Power Troopers spun around so we can see the back side (and the Trooper's back pack is *really* lacking in details, guys).

Again, can we just get some photos of these figures in a variety of poses from multiple angles?

From the Four Horsemen:

We’re just past the half-way point for the Power Lords pre-order currently going on on Store Horsemen, and we’re still farther from our goal than we’d like to be at this point.

Please keep in mind, that none of the payments for this Power Lords Store Horsemen pre-order will be collected until the end of the pre-order sale, and if we don’t meet the goal that we need to hit with this pre-order to meet factory production minimums, then the pre-order will be cancelled, and the credit card authorizations will be cancelled so that none of the money will be taken from your account.
