hmm. kind of like waiting for plastic 6 mm minis, then? ;-)

Well, nitpick does what nitpick does best! ;)

All in all, whilst there are still a lot of figures still about to be released, I do feel you guys are doing it better than many other campaigns out there. Part of your miniatures are already available, you're quite open towards the fans/backers, and we're allowed to provide input. So don't have too much of a sad, you guys are working on some pretty cool stuff!

If the Elites pick up a bit in sales, I'd look to do a specialists pack next, including leaders & various different heavy weapons.

Much obliged! As a sidenote, I have certainly not let the substantial challenges involved influence my spending pattern. I regard Troublemakers as hardworking pioneers with great service levels.
I do not think that Mordotens initial comment had much to do with this, though. it's just that it feels a lot more in keeping with the idea of crowdfunder projects to have a well planned list of objectives set out from the start.

Thanks guys. We do try to run a happy medium between planning everything out in advance, and listening to what the community asks for during the campaign too.

There are plenty of campaigns where not all the stretch goals are made public, this can mean that they've ever got them (but are still secret), or that they still have to make them up. If it's the latter: why not involve the fans/backers in the process?

That's exactly what we're trying to do here on TC.

nitpicking further. having a say in how your crowdfunders are planned is one of your strengths, no doubt. it is just a feeling that there could be an advantage in having that open configuration process finished well ahead of launching the actual crowdfunder.

They still seem long to me, is it the crouched pose that is throwing it out?

Could you provide a stood upright arms at sides image to guage proportions so we can see if there is a problem or not please.

Yeah, they still look a little long to me as well - mainly from elbow to wrist.

I think making the arms much shorter will result in poorer actual models. This is one of those times where for any kind of definition we're going to have to accept slightly off body types.
