[Relaxed Hands]

I don't hate the guy, I just look at that Kickstarter and alarm bells trigger in my head. Would you trust anything about that page if it wasn't a YTer you had been watching review figures for years?

By contrast, look at David Silva's first Kickstarter with the Raptor Series (still can't post links), click the risks link and he mentions all of the connections he has from previous work, that he has personally produced and sold products before, etc.

Now it's entirely possible Shartimus has prototypes in the works and almost ready to go, but if he is close to that point, why not wait until he has them prior to launching it? He's not making any money off the Kickstarter until it ends anyway. Hell, I've even seen AnthonysCustoms showing off prototypes of toys he has designed on his channel before, and that must have been at least a year ago at this point.


I really just think it's irresponsible to be asking people for money with the project at it current state, especially when his target audience is (whether or not he wants it to be), fairly young.
