I think McFarlane didn't do the tradtional kickstarter unlocks because they didn't want to set anything in stone. They wouldn't be locked in place by KS's system and they had a sliding unlock system (manually) put instead. So stuff could be included even if milestones weren't met, because they know the cost of toys and absorb the pennies instead of making people do the $10,000 goal increments.
They're an established company, so they have more leeway.
The pieces have already been molded though, but budgets still exist. They'd use the already made molds for later figures, instead of producing new accessories for a later figure. Difference between getting it now vs later is also the budget for the later figure. If released in a normal line, it wouldn't have half the paint budget.
>>11161499yeah, I almsot forgot too, hence making the thread at the last minute. I set my alarm to remember.
Yes, i always like to put my pledge at the last minute out of habit, because sketchiness of KSers becomes apparent from later updates
