He's got them as "Campaign Goals" with no clear Goals/milestones or specifics. Before the KS he was saying they would be stretch goals, but they're not. It's just kinda lame to say randomly. "Hey, you guys unlocked this cool spiked arm piece!" But really, we're getting that anyway and its all listed already. Just be excited and show the production samples off, the KS is a huge success. He'll make a ton of profit, maybe finally get on the Spawn movie with it.

The campaing and how things were promoted... Where quite confusing to me... To the point that til now, I'm not even sure what I'm even gonna pay for. However, if I get half of what is offerred, I'll pay for it. I do consider there's enough plastic and scuplture detail for $ 58.00. A Mythic Legions limited eddition wont come with that much and it's gonna be more expensive and harder to order. Even the new TMNT from Super 7 are $55.00! And lets not even mention a Figma, C'mon... In my opinion, it's whorth it. And if every figure comes with all that stuff that was shown in the package... I'll be more than happy to order 2 🫱🏻🫲🏽

@normanbeaulieu4204 I don't think your numbers for Haslab are... right. For the Rattler it was 9k backers ar $325 so $3 Million to make the Rattler. Supposedly. But it does have massive tooling and way more expensive that a 7 inch figure will ever be. $58 for medieval spawn is a good deal but pretending the accessories that are already tooled, in production, and have space in the packaging are real unlocks is bs.

@@billybeigecustoms haslab has a base of 9,000 backers to make the thing. At $350 a pop that means that have already made 3,150,000 already before anything. The tiers are already baked into the base in there calculations. It will take them maybe 1.5 million to make the whole thing. To unlock tier 2 it’s 14,000.

Billy, I am a Mcfarlane comics fan. I also have collected Todd Toys and the Current McFarlane toys lines whether DC multiverse or Spawn. I did back the original Spawn Kickstarter from some years ago. I am on the fence about backing this Medieval Spawn Kickstarter. I get that companies need to make a profit. The math isn't mathing🤨. The comics are currently the best bang for your buck. Card stock covers for $2.99, fresh writers(Todd does co-write) and classic artists Like Greg Capullo, Carlo Barberi, along with new up and comers. I hear you on value being suspected for this campaign. Todd has been a showman(mach schau) for a while like it or not. People like to be entertained but not at this co$t.

Clearly mattel realized that the original design would not warrant the $300 price and so made it larger and added the stupid snake vehicle for nothing more than corporate greed . It should be no larger or cost more than the other origins playsets since it is he man nostalgia not snake men .
@RAP-SKULLION6 күн бұрын
I appreciate Mattel actually listening to the fans and pausing production to get it in line with what the fans expected, but I don't think what the fans expected would justify the prices that some of these crowdfunding projects demand. They want and expect something more like Castle Grayskull or Snake Mountain. Hell, they would be happy with something even simpler based on the number of Funko Batcaves I see repurposed into the Fright Zone.
@FFFFPPPP6 күн бұрын
The $300 is a percentage of the production of the item plus the cost of the item. Tooling costs on these larger items is high. It can be hundreds of thousands to north of a million depending on piece count and complexity. The Fright Zone should be a retail only item. The only way a crowdfund would work for that would be a beefed up version or combining it with the Hordak lair and maybe even the Slime Pit (both detachable) to give us both something new and knock out the last of Horde playsets. The entire point of crowdfunding is to get larger playsets or vehicles made. It’s going to cost more and be much larger. I dont want some dinky Greyskull/Snake Mountain sized playset. Whether people have room or not is not Mattel’s problem.
@billybeigecustoms6 күн бұрын
@FFFFPPPP true and at this point it's looking like the majority of people are not liking the design AND burnt out on the larger playsets and won't back it. Which isn't Mattels problem. Unless they already spent money on tooling, and sdcc was a sample from their sub million dollar tooling... but that's their problem.

@Toylytics6 күн бұрын
It’s 100% Mattel’s problem if people don’t want big playsets and/or don’t have room to store them. People will not buy the product if it doesn’t meet their requirements. All companies need to use the Voice of the Customer (VOC) in their product design process to make sure that the product features that they include match the features that customers are willing to pay for. Otherwise, the mismatch can cause sales to be less than the company expects since the product doesn’t satisfy enough of the customer base.
