Yeah I would love to see those 4 with Joe artic!

Only so many pictures you can take of guys with guns in the woods..

But you could set up some seriously sick sword fight poses with them - all you need to do really is be outdoors and its pretty much always a perfect backdrop and most likely scale!

gooby pls let me buy articulated knights :(

On another note - I have a feeling that the HACKS will not be meeting their deadline.. I don't know.. they haven't even finished all the paint masters? let alone the skeletons!

delayed to no one's suprise

Hey again, backers!

Thank you all, once again, Boss Fighters! You helped us unlock nearly 50 items this summer!

Up to this point, we have been optimistically targeting February as our initial ship date. However, due to current circumstances, which we will discuss below, we are going to have a slight delay in the shipment of our figures.

Along with the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter, many of you also contributed to the Marauder Task Force Kickstarter. The factory being used for both has been exceeding our expectations on nearly every level and what we have seen from them has been extraordinary. There were a few minor issues in the production of the Marauder product, which are being resolved. Our product will be produced at the same factory, and until those issues are cleared up for the MTF, our product will be pushed back. We are working closely with Marauder and the factory, and we’re optimistic that things will be resolved successfully and quickly.

Both Boss Fight Studio and Marauder are committed to providing the highest quality product possible and we are working together tirelessly to make sure the product for both teams meets or exceeds our very high expectations.

Next, because our items are being moved back slightly, our factory time is going to be pushing into Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, which take place from February to March this year. For those of you who aren't aware, this is a month-long celebration. During this time, our factory closes to allow the workers to celebrate with their friends and families.

When we started the V-HACKS project, we were offering 3 waves of 4 figures and 2 different Kickstarter exclusives, for a total of 15 items. As the Kickstarter moved ahead, full-steam, however, we added more figures, some completely new sculpts, along with some accessory packs, finishing with an amazing 50 different items!

Of course, when we inputted the time-line for our finished product, we had calculated for maybe reaching 30 items, but even reaching those stretch goals seemed unrealistic to us. We had no idea just how excited our backers would be for our figures! Even though we were given the opportunity to design, sculpt and produce so many additional items, we were still very hopeful that we would be able to deliver them by our February deadline. At this point, however, that is proving to be impossible.

We are estimating a few months' delay and as we move along, we will be able to be a little less vague about exactly how long we are looking at.

We hope you all understand. We want you to be able to have the highest quality product we can provide. We will keep you updated as we receive more information and will make sure you are involved in every step of our progress. We know how excited you are. We are too!

Thank you all for all of your support! Boss Fight!

I don't think anyone was surprised. Although The I am Elemental did deliver on time and Legends of Cthulhu came really close.

This one was a much bigger project though and will still go through some more unforeseen delays, that I am sure of.

Here is the Tartarus warrior.

Kickstarter Update

Greetings Boss Fighters!

It’s been a while since our last update and we do so apologize for that. Rest assured that our lack of communication has given us time to further our goal of getting quality product into your hands. As some of you know, Marauder’s Gun Runners and their Marauder Task Force line of figures experienced some production issues. Boss Fight has been on the front line working with them to fix the issue. Why is this important to Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. and our fantastic Kickstarter backers? Well, the same factory is being used for both the Marauder Task Force and H.A.C.K.S. figures. We felt it was in everyone’s best interest to pause our production on the V-H.A.C.K.S. Series 1 until all issues had been resolved. Now that we feel confident that these issues have been sorted out and solutions have been found, we are ready to pull the ripcord and plunge into the night. In about two weeks, two of our merry band will be traveling to the factories in China to kick off production. After their return, we will have a more solid delivery date for the figures. Now that things seem to have smoothed out at the factory, for both Marauder and ourselves, we hope to have the product to the Kickstarter backers some time this summer. For those of you that missed the initial KIckstarter (or just need more figures then you originally bought), do not fret. We will begin selling the remainder of the product in waves shortly after all of the backers have their figures in hand. Once again, we apologize for the delay, but we are committed to bringing you all the quality and high standards that we ourselves expect from a collectable toy line. We’re all very excited to not only get Series 1 into your hands, but also into our own. Until then, here are some new images of the final painted prototypes complete with shield artwork. This is the first time nearly the entire line can be seen together as a whole. SO the All-Ins will be receiving each and every one of these, plus the Ghosts of the Battlefield 2-pack, sixteen blanks, seven accessory packs, and four skeletons! Hopefully the thoughts of glorious Greek battles that will play out in your living rooms and upon your shelves will hold you over until we can get Series 1 shipped to your doors.

-Boss FIGHT!!!

I only went in for a few things (was going to be expensive for being an international backer, but not as ass bleedingly bad as a 4h one).


And I'll probably going to face import tax

Right? Crossed my dollar amount line in the sand so tough titties for me.

Yep. Another thing for me is I really want to a la carte bits to customize, but there's no way to affordably do that.

Maybe once in-hand pics start showing up I'll be swayed, but if Hiya couldn't snag me with WWII Germans with "Joeticulation" I don't think these have a shot.

That's a relatively simple fix in the grand scheme of things.

It's a real shame that so many great new figures are getting priced out of so many collectors comfort zones.

When retail jacks the price of the new MI figures to $13 - 15 each, then these won't be that far off in their pricing. Plus the articulation will be far better than the new MI figures.

Holy balls that's awesome! Wonder if there'll be a balljoint at the base of the spine where it appears to be glued. A double neck would be icing on the cake!

Course there's no way in hell I'm buying $20 skeletons. Cool to look at though. :D

I saw the articulation list, and the only joints on there that aren't balls are the double knees.

Jason and the Argonauts mfers.

Just one of the uses. This in 1:18 is gonna be awesome to see:

I'm hoping they give us All-Iners a chance to add more items (SKELETONS) to our A-I box before it ships. I'm gonna need more than just the four diff-colored skellies I'll be getting.

And going back to the Pre/Post-Curse Medusa issue, in the very first myths, there was just Medusa and Athena's curse was the snake hair and enstonification visage. Her sisters were added into the mythology a bit later to give the Gorgons a 'triumvirate of power' as seen in so many many many religions across the planet, and Medusa was reputed to still be mortal (hence why she could be decapitated) while her sisters were made immortal when cursed. None of them ever had snake bodies in the myths, and that appears to be an innovation of the original Clash of the Titans flick. Her two versions really should be labeled as Curse1 and Curse2, imho.

I imagine the trauma of giving birth to her god-sired daughters combined with being under another god's curse is what transformed her body to match that of her daughters.

Their figures look amazing in person. Here are some of their future figures.

I dunno about the color palette of the Elf Queen, but then Talos the Bronze Spartan turned out to be the most impressive paintjob and his control art made me think he was gonna be a solid cast of that 25A Serpentor butterscotch color.

I like the colors of the Elf Queen, but what I'm most interested in is the sculpt. It's my favorite of all that they have done so far.

The figures look great so far.
They definitely need some male elves/fairies
I was hoping for some dwarves and other creature type figures as well.
I'm glad the skeletons came out so well though.

They said awhile back that they're only gonna do a modded-human buck once per theme. Snakebody was for the Greeks, winged torso appears to be the one for the Fantasy theme. It's a wisely conservative expense on a still-unproven line that adds a good feature, imho. It would be a bit of a let-down if it showed up later on after more extensive mods.

Fantasy line is a wash. Knight of Asperity is mildly interesting, but everything else is pretty pedestrian. But then following up historically "true" Hoplites was always gonna be a tough act to follow.

Wait to see some painted samples, man. There's a huge diff between the Greek control art pics and what we're seeing of the actual figures. I'm still waiting for BFS to do a single thing wrong or less at hand awesome (although the Con exclusive set might be it if they don't offer it on their store site).
