I hope this succeeds. A lot of people said they wanted this format as opposed to the 5 points of articulation. I am in.

Don't forget to buy a piece of comic book history,
Quote:
Jim Starlin (Thanos creator) will sign a certificate of authenticity, for your Dreadstar figure at $65. Comic Con is $63 for a day and $261 for an average hotel night, totaling $324.00. How much it can cost, just to get Starlin's autograph. So just go "All In / Signed Figure" in this Amazing Heroes KS. Millions of kids are growing up on MCU watching the Infinity Gauntlet movies. Who knows what they'll pay, years from now, for your authenticated autograph from thee hand who created much of it all - Jim Starlin.

I'm not a huge fan of Kickstarter, but I'm really tempted to contribute. I would love that Madman, Devil, Jack Staff, hell, most of these to be honest.

Thanks Mods for front-paging this! With its obscure connection to G.I.Joe maybe Hisstank can front page this too. We need all the help we can get for Uncle Sam.

Disappointed the female figures got dusted off to the side. Hope this one does well enough to merit their release.

Maybe it will be a female character for the "Mystery Figure" when purchasing the "All In" option. Let's hope that's the case.

I've been looking forward to this Kickstarter for a while. I'm in for Beetle, but I really, really want a Flaming Carrot.

These look promising, hope it reaches its full goals.
Also, did not realize Remo Williams was a comic book character. The movie was all I knew it from. So that's kind of extra cool to have that to fit in with GI Joe Modern Era stuff. |

I think the concept is fantastic and I almost fainted when I read that there was going to be an actual Vanth Dreadstar figure produced. However, the digital sculpts for most of these figures, including Dreadstar, are actually pretty ugly looking. Hopefully these designs are revised and the final production figures look a hell of a lot better.
And for comparison, here's a picture of a Dreadstar custom I made myself, including a custom sculpted head and sword (note: I commissioned someone else to sculpt them for me. I did everything else). Last edited by Dolemite; 08-26-2018 at 06:13 AM.. |

Marvel Comic fans, get your Uncle Sam figure, to celebrate legendary Jack Kirby's / Captain America's great Bicentennial Homage.

So, for $20 you get the figure of your choice, which is very reasonable price for an independently-produced action figure. And despite my reservations about how the initial digital sculpts look, I feel like this project will turn out well and I fully intend to support it.
However, I cannot get behind the $65 option that includes just a figure and a piece of paper signed by the creator. That's absolutely nuts, no matter how its shilled as "buying a piece of history." Um, no. Thankfully it's optional. |

I know it's wishful thinking, but I'm kind of hoping a big backer comes in, negotiates with them, and gets these into comic shops and other direct market avenues.
So they can look into expanding the line to covering some other stuff too that would have been out of reach otherwise. Like some of the stuff at Awesome Comics that were creator owned, or other material from Acclaim/Valiant that wouldn't get anything made otherwise. |

Oooh boy, can't wait to be able to recreate my favorite Savage Dragon comic scenes, like when he creampies a girl and she spits it back into his mouth!

What other indie comic book characters can make for great future Amazing Heroes figures?

Articulation and body proportion-wise, these designs look a lot better than most of the stuff being pushed out these days. DC Collectibles, please take note.
