Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

Anyone do much by way of feet swapping on these guys? I'm trying to make Diis Paatar (god I fucking hate that name) into a more useful humanoid and the only thing I don't have is feet - I actually have a shadow elf head that'll work just fine on the body and spare hands out the hoo-hah. Trying to figure out if the regular old leather boot feet will fit or if I need to go all the way back and find some 2.0 body feet.

This is an action figure Kickstarter. That's literally all it is. Take away the book they might never even produce and I bet the funding goals wouldn't even change. It's all about making toys. I have no idea why they even felt the need to dress this up in a TTRPG trenchcoat.
I'm 100% sure aside from if you subtract X dollars for the cost of the book or whatever their funding amount stays within spitting distance of what it is now if they just did action figures.
It really is an interesting Kickstarter. The whole reason they chose to go to Kickstarter was because it was such a good TTRPG advertising platform. Yet, the game has very much not been the focal point of the campaign - it’s still action figures.
It's such a frustrating dichotomy - like for a real TTRPG kickstarter you see real excitement - adding stat blocks for creatures, unlocking classes, unlocking bonus modules/adventure hooks, like actual game shit. This has been all action figure unlocks with some token items for the game. I bet they would've made more money just doing the figures on their site.
 
I dare anyone to even tell me anything about the game that this Kickstarter is ostensibly -for-.
I'll wait.
you see you flip the map over and enter what’s known as a “Mythic Encounter” (mythic is of course synonymous for “epic”, don’t question it! This is a fact!) where the squares are four times larger.

In these “Mythic Encounters” you’ll use Mythic Legions action figures and pose them in the spells you’re about to cast or the blow you’re about to land… you know, Mythic Legions well known for their articulation and ability to hit naturalistic poses! And we all know the most fun part of toys is watching someone struggle to pose one while you wait for your turn to play! You can also use the plastic standees included in the beginner’s box… why yes, that does imply the posing of the figures isn’t actually part of the game and the mythic encounters could just be played on the standard sized map meaning the game is functionally just a shitty D&D module with no unique gimmicks…

But have you also considered they call Tabaxi “Jaugarians”?!
 
Having just crossed one million there is no denying this has been a successful campaign. Not really sure a successful campaign for what exactly but that’s still a lot of money. I can only hope it is doing what they need it to do to continue offering these paired down figures and accessory sets - which is what everyone seems to be really wanting out of this. Maybe drop the game but keep catering to this ‘build your character’ idea for those people that do want to make their character but not necessarily use it in-game.
