Guys. Guys. I am aware the intent isn't to insult me or belittle my question, but I think I of all people know a thing or two about the love and care Eric and Jimmy put into this line. Without a single dime invested in the line I'd already ended up with three unique figures (and a fourth on the way). I've already seen the quality of this line firsthand and was satisfied enough to drop a chunk of change on the line and plan to get even more when the chance arises. They are beautiful, imaginative designs and for what they are very fairly priced. I asked because I had to or someone else would less cordially, because I've had enough experience where less scrupulous toy manufacturers move the goal posts with no satisfactory justification. I will admit I had more of a brief "WTF" reaction to the news initially, but that was before the talk of the exclusive Gorewads.
I don't recall any teaser images showing Hell Turtle next to existing sculpts, but I could have forgotten one, so you could understand why I asked whether Bosses were larger UoV figures or not. I'd recommend a shot like that in the store (with an obvious "sold separately" clause) or in a blog update, but that's just me.
Eric, Jimmy, you guys have alleviated every one of my concerns, real and imaginary. Thanks. Eric, hopefully I can bother you for a Hell Turtle with my current order...
It's much appreciated.
We knew when we decided to change up the approach to releasing the figures, that we'd have to answer some questions... And the pricing of HT and the future releases is something that I feel I dropped the ball on. I can see where at first glance, one may think "They're now only giving me one figure for the same price? That's not fair! That's not good business!"
And they'd be right.
As luck would have it, that isn't how we do things... We just wanted to give our customers a deeper mini figure experience, at a more consistent rate of output.
I am really happy that you guys have been free with your opinions, and I say keep 'em coming. If this works in 2013, we'll have much bigger news for 2014.
