But if you are making a 4" Space Knight themed set I would recommend you post to the Stars Wars centric type sites. Making a robot that transforms into a weapon of mass destruction? Go hit up the TFW2005 type sites. Point being that if you can't find the audience online, they don't want it, don't bother.

I'm actually VERY interested in the Amazing Heroes figures. They're based on the 80's (not 60's) Marvel Secret Wars style, and that was one of the most fun-to-play-with toylines ever. The Amazing Heroes line is the first Kickstarter I'm actually considering giving money to. And people are going to want those cloth capes, too.

I agree they need better marketing though. They're not really getting talked about on sites from what I've seen.
