Like, if this goal hadn’t been met Spawn would come with a gun he cannot hold?

This Kickstarter is such an absolute trainwreck. One that's successful as hell admittedly, but this is still one of the worst crowdfunding campaigns I’ve ever seen.

I guess a terribly done campaign that raises a shitton of money and (hopefully) delivers a great product is much better than the best done campaign that delivers pure garbage, but I still cannot get over how poorly organized this whole ordeal is.
I hate to defend McFarlane, but it's not as bad as that really. Making an $1m on a $100k Kickstarter for a physical product like this doesn't mean you have an extra 900k. You still have to pay to produce and ship all that extra merchandise. One of the most common mistakes companies make running Kickstarters is not allowing for that extra production cost by getting too ambitious with stretch goals.
The initial 100k in this case would pay for the tooling, so they will have a higher percentage of extra money for the subsequent 900k.

Plus people are pledging to get the figure, legally and ethically McFarlane don't have to offer ANY stretch goals with that 900k if they don't want to. They aren't ripping anyone off by delivering Spawn figures to 10 times as many people as they needed to.
