There seems to have been a bit of confusion surrounding the current Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Action Figure Kickstarter being offered by our friends at Boss Fight Studio. Thankfully, our friend Andrew from BFS stopped by to share some clarification. Check it out -

Hi guys,

I'm Andrew from Boss Fight Studio, and I'm seeing A LOT of confusion about us and the Kickstarter setup, so I thought I'd pop on and try to answer some questions.

First, Boss Fight Studio has been around for just over a year - we were founded in last March. While all of us have worked for different combinations of freelance and in-house with Hasbro, we are a START-UP BUSINESS, and as such, do not have a great deal of operating capital. This is our FIRST original product line, and when you aim to produce a very premium product at a not particularly high volume, there are a lot of expenses associated with that - tooling, labor, shipping, packaging, etc. We're not going to get rich off of this Kickstarter, in fact, even if this thing is fully funded to all of the stretch goals, that's about what it will cost to run the entire production of our first series of figures. We can't even pay our salaries out of that.

So yeah, we're the little guys. We're fans just like you who grew up with Joe and all the associated toy lines, who are trying to inject some of the creativity and originality that we loved as kids, and that inspired us to follow this career path back into the marketplace. It's unlikely you will ever see our product at major retailers. This is BY COLLECTORS, FOR COLLECTORS. By helping fund this Kickstarter, you're helping our creative dreams come true and help a new company get off the ground that wants to be there to serve YOU, the collector community.

In terms of questions about specific combinations of items in the Kickstarter, we tried to keep our offerings relatively streamlined to reduce confusion. We didn't want to offer hundreds of different combinations of items, and we're working to clarify what's in every reward in both the body of the KS and in the FAQ attached to it.

You can join in on the discussion and thank Andrew for the clarity after the break.... [Read More]
