Ok BFS... now you're losing my interest.
I wish I was more interested in their stuff, but most of it is designs I don't care about or ones that aren't worth to me at the price.
The more I see, the less enthusiastic I become.
IMO they should have just made a permanent team-up with Marauder and used those blank bodies as the bases for some amazingly sculpted detail, along with those modular bits and pieces for armor, weapons, etc.

Greek stuff is cool with me... not a huge fan of it, but I will definitely be buying some of it. With that in mind, I'm still looking forward to seeing what else they come up with - in regards to similar themes. While mythology is being used with the Greeks, it's still grounded in reality. Here's an idea - keep that mentality! How about a line based on Arthurian legends? Now that would having me selling crack for extra money. 
This Mobile Suit/Megaman looking thing will surely entice most HT's, but it's not going in any direction I'd like to see. Then again... I'm not
:lmao:

I guess my lack of enthusiasm is based on:
"We're BFS! We love GI Joe and Star Wars and the 1:18th/3 3/4" scale! So we're going to make..."
"Greeks. And Gorgons."
...THAT'S where we go with this void? Greeks and Gorgons.

Have you read my sig? I mean, seriously... golden fucking opportunity staring someone in the face.
But nooooooo...

Can some one link me to the 4 Horsemen figures? looked around and only found like half bird 7 inch figures lol.
I can see why they didn't do CoD figures for the licensing issues, and maybe why they avoided modern military altogether, but I've no idea why they're going this Greek route instead. Maybe someone at BFS is a big fan.
Maybe the fantasy and sci-fi assortments will make more sense.

Here's one with some good shots of the parts, etc. -

Limited articulation from what I can tell.
... then 
I find Greek mythology interesting, but they aren't gonna scratch the surface of what the subject has to offer. Think NECA, in that respect. Fantasy could yet prove interesting, but Sci-fi is a lost cause if they're just aping Gundam.
Here's the android they were talking about:
I was hoping for something less... I dunno, Gundam?
I actually like it!

I could have used that figure as a kid. I would sometimes use my more robotic looking Joes as Gundams.
So much this! ^^
Read my mind...
I'm also getting a MTMTE/RID TF comic vibe from him...
But no, zero interest in that thing here...

it's nice to know Hasbro was listening & did tryAndrew BFS said:
I see your point and based on the responses here I think most people agree with you. Maybe they didn't want to share the profits with Marauder and don't have long term plans them?
I'm thinking they didn't want to hurt their relationship with hasbro and the club by "competing" with them.
I think you're right that at least one person at BFS must be a huge Greek Mythology fan and that's why it's being pushed first. Also, I'm sure the CoD licensing will cost mega bucks. BFS probably can't afford that right now.
Newest reveal since they hit 100K.
That'll be perfect for me and my silly Fantasy customs I've been building on and off.
Both would work for the Heroes-Quest game really, since it's not a specific time.
We'll see how it goes, come time for the Con, but the plan is for a Modern Warfare game!
My guess as to why they are not doing a military version 1st
1. It might be part of a direct non-compete with Hasbro or at least to help keep future Hasbro business.
2. That gorgon mold looks like it could have been designed for a certain unpopular leader of Cobra LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA!
3. All the other kickstarters are military based which seems like it would hurt sales (for everyone) if everyone was suddenly a direct competitor.
It makes sense to offer something that you can't get elsewhere.

They've said that the snake tail doesn't work with the male torsos, though. Yet, anyway.
Boss Fight Studio in comments section of the Kickstarter said:
I wonder how much interest is in the non-flesh colored blank figures. (red blue purple, etc)
They could work for Star Wars alen customs, & the transparent could be DR Manhatian, but I'm not sure what other uses they might have?

I'm thinking of doing the $115 Kickstarter deal. I like all 4 of the regular figs. I may order some of the others like the underworld warrior or something.
hard to believe companies like Hasbro can't make decent figures like this compared to these small "basement" style businesses.

There's a few of the stretch goal figures I might be interested in, but the price is still a bit off-putting, and the only way to get them is to buy the set of regular figures, which I don't really want.
I think most of them will be available "at retail" if they make their goal, just at a higher cost, for non kickstarter people.
