I think Iron Golems lifted about 36k with their dwarves, I reckon these frogs will get to 29k. Not to be too presumptious, but these minis are quite unique and the ones shown are well executed.

Dwarves are more popular than Slann, to put it mildly. Still, as J_Bone pointed out, this is an interesting experiment - are Slann unpopular because there are so few models for them? Or are there few models because they're unpopular?

The stretch goal I'm most looking forward to is the (23k) Head Coach. I'm hoping for a cigar-chomping Mr. Toad style figure:

It's coming... I need the final version from Pedro. I'm sure everybody can understand that he is very busy at the moment.

Well, the original target was all I ever hoped for so €13,000 funding after one week I'm happy with. I know a lot of people are looking forward to backing it and there are plenty of great miniatures to come so I'm confident we'll get up towards those final stretch goals! :)

That would be great, but the miniatures look serious a ferocious unlike the art, so expect an angry coach if we reach the goal. I think I'm going to pay a friend to put some green in the eyes of those frogs and paint them weirdly.
My personal goal of satisfaction was 13000, 23k is going to be difficult, I would have preferred the coach and other staff before the 8th lineman.

Patiently waiting for Toador art... why the name? :smoking:
Another question now that we have 4 different blitzers, full sculpts or still with separate heads?

JBone, just pulling your leg a bit here. Between it being a weekend, Pedro involved in other projects and I expect you have a life and a full time job which all make sit quite understandable that updates do not take place the minute a stretch goal is achieved.

My hats off to you for funding all the preparing work out of your own pocket. I do think that the success this campaign has so far is well deserved. I only supported 2 crowdfunding campaigns ever and yours is one. The other one was an Impact crowdfunding campaign

I have, incl. J_Bones, now three campaigns under my belt.
But yeah, The first was very exciting, the second not so much but this did grab me again.#I'd like to check every couple of hours if we broke another SG already... :lol:
Sideline figures are not a must have for me but that 8th linefrog will bring my order to 12 what is the number I prefer to have at least for lineman positions for all teams I have.
So I'm hoping for a 20K campaging and, until now, am still very positive about getting my wish! :wink:

Where, I will admit, I am shattered right now.
