That would be awesome. Perhaps a Big Nose Kate head sculpt bearing Joanna Pacula's likeness when the time comes?
Oh, and who's gonna do the custom of a bare-assed Jane Greathouse from Young Guns II?

Hell, they'll be doing BLANKS, so everyone here should certainly be able to fab up any old greenhorn they want.
Tombstone is probably the movie I've seen the most times... outside of the original three Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. So much to love, despite the glaring historical inaccuracies.
My favorite line, one I use in real life several times a week when encountering stupid people...
"I swear, it's like I'm playing cards with my brother's kids or something..."
+1 for fat Billy Bob.

It couldn't get a whole lot more fictional, but it's a damn entertaining film. I'd sure like to see the cut footage that slipped into the trailer.
You know there are cut scenes and alternate takes that have some Holliday/Ringo gold.
Maybe in a couple of years we'll get a 25th anniversary extended cut or something.

Per JE Russell:
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, as it's coming up on decision time to decide whether it's going to be made in series 1 as we'd planned, or have to be pushed.
Given the GARGANTUAN costs of tooling (it's about the same budget as the ENTIRE figure lineup), the Stagecoach will have some caveats. It will firstly, be a stretch goal all on it's own and NOT included in the "All-IN!" packages.
Also, we are working on how to get it produced. The horses have to be static (with removable tack), if you want horses with it at all. We may be able to swing a ball jointed head. Tooling costs and all that.
Also, helping reach the stretch goal will only pay for the tooling, and production costs will have to come out on the other side of that. This means that unlocking it, gets you a steep discount on one, not free as a bonus.
MSRP is going to be around $129 or so, we think. Given all those details, is it something you can budget for? Conceivably, if you bought just a smaller package (not All-IN!) and this unlocks, you would be able to purchase. Same obviously goes with the "All-IN!" package holders.
I know this is all strange, and not how things usually work, but given the massive cash outlay it's going to cost, it's the only way we can think of to get it done. Also, it will come with a driver made out of pre-existing parts. No new tooling, but there will be a figure included.
What do you think? In or out?

And there are several stagecoaches that look just as nice, as well as horses that have movable parts...both of which are considerably cheaper than $129.
Start hording the PTE Horses from Big Lots. Also I bought some static horses from the Dollar store that might work. (wanted to make a Pegasus)
They want the Stage Coach because its the big ticket item that if successful will drive the sales of smaller items.

In truth, I doubt *they* think it'll work out for them. For a company that's only two guys with one guy paying for digisculptor subcontractors so far (that I'm aware), the coach is an extremely ambitious projects considering the fuckton of individual pieces that will need to be molded to pull it off to the market's satisfaction (similarly, I don't think Solomon's Leviathan starfighter has a good chance of happening).
But they know the people that would get it (and $129 seems pretty reasonable considering everything involved, imho) would be very happy with it alongside the figures, so they're gonna give it a chance.
They've been saying the horses coming with the coach would have to be static from the very first day this was all announced, and explained that trying to fund both the coach and fully-articced horse at once was a no-go.

Can one of the Staff change the thread name to 'Dime Novel Legends (of the West) Kickstarter' to reflect the change of the line?
Yeah, I don't need a stagecoach, especially not at that price. I'm not your huckleberry.
So when is the KS supposed to go live?

I found a 1:16 scale stage coach model kit that looks way better. ..but I think the size would be too noticeable....
Benno's Figures Forum ? Concord Stagecoach 1/16 scale

Maybe not. 1:18th and 1:16th with modern stuff is pretty obvious because there's real world counterparts around the time to give you a pretty decent sense of scale. When was the last time you saw a stagecoach in person?
Yeah, 16th is probably better for fitting 18th figures in than a proper 18th one would be anyway, due to the incompressability of flesh and clothing causing figures to 'float' over the seats instead of sinking into them; like how 18th figures don't fit in those 18th diecast cars.
How much is that kit? If it's <$40, I'd snatch it up!

(so yesterday)
i have a question that i will post here.
Alyosha is one of responsibles from the line? this is the only caster , the only guy that took my money in this hobbie. buy him some items from broken arrow toys and then emailed him, conmtact him through facebook and many more attempts and he never reply me. this guy has about 100 dollars from me and never answer me.
i saw many more complaints after that and he took the money from a lot of people.
so with such a negative feedback from the community how can everybody trust him in a kickstarter? nobody have concerns?

I've seen more than one person post that his involvement is a deal-killer, so no, you're not alone in your concerns.
What I don't understand is, why did BFS go with a different place/person this time around, instead of sticking with the same place/people that did their Greek mythos figures?
Also, people need to be letting BFS know what kind of person they are dealing with and that his involvement is keeping people away.

This isn't a BFS project. They were contracted by the wholly-separate company CFT to do some freelance design work. I assume they've been paid for that and have no further involvement beyond advice once interaction with the factory is needed due to CFT using the same factory.
