>>5965059They are making a couple in joke figures like copies of old Butch and Sundance Kenner figures not nobody remembers. The card art is a direct copy off that style. (The Head Honco and the Gunfighter are the two that "match")
I really like the fact they are doing a re-tool of Marx Johnny West but why the fuck is he the 375,000 goal? That is NEVER going to happen considering they haven't even broken 100k.
I think part of the problem is how generic this is, and the team is obviously wanting "selfie" figures of themselves rather than adaptions of characters they know will sell.
They proudly claim that some heads are their likenesses and "copies of gear they own in real life".
There's a thinly veiled Quigley, Wyatt Earp, and Bass Reeves but all of those excluding Wyatt are relatively obscure.
I get the draw of making your dream toyline but maybe sneak those figures in one or two at a time in waves 2,3, and so on. I think if the Johnny West expy was part of the base 5 and they had some actual recognizable characters I'd be all in on this shit in a second...but $25 EACH for generic looking cowboys just doesn't do it for me. Sucks because it will set a precedent when this fails and nobody better suited for it will take up the challenge.
