Not enough bang for my buck IMHO. I can buy a metal mini for about the same price online, so why would I back a Kickstarter to do so? The point of Kickstarter was for the buyer to assume some level of risk in exchange for a good deal on the purchase. The first Bones, I received 212 mini's for $100. I still see many of those mini's selling for $2-$3 each online. While I don't expect that degree of return on all Kickstarters, this one falls far short.

At this point, many of the Kickstarters are nothing more than alternative marketing. From a business perspective it makes perfect sense. Of course you would like to have enough guaranteed sales to cover your production costs before you even begin production. As a consumer, you need to make it worth my while to make that commitment.

That's a strange question. These minis are from the Tome of Beasts. You can't get an Eye Golem or a Dust Goblin elsewhere. They don't exist.

So comparing them to a mini you can get from Reaper isn't really the same thing. I could get a Dire Wolf from a number of different places, but I can't get a Blemmyes outside of this Kickstarter campaign.

Yes, you could convert one or sculpt your own, but not everyone has the time or ability to do that.

I'll probably back this. I love metal minis... and miss them. Not a fan of plastic ones, even if they are pre-painted. I would rather use unpainted metal.
