Hello Effincooligans,
Your friendly neighborhood EffinEd here with the next in a series of updates for the pledge manager going live. As soon as I'm done typing this update, I'll stroll (Click) on over to BackerKit and activate the Smoke Test. As mentioned before, this will send to about 5% of each pledge level. I ask for your feedback on how this process works for you. There's always at least one bug to work out in this and I do appreciate any feedback before I make the entire thing live for the remainder of the 446 backers.
As soon as I get some feedback and review the surveys that are completed I'll make the project live for everyone.
There was a comment about plastic versus metal pictures. Well, since we did the Swolbold as one of our test pieces for mold making, I have taken a picture of one in metal and one in plastic for your viewing pleasure.
Swolbold in Plastic and Metal - Visual Comparison Example
One thing to remember with wonderful pictures from a phone, the metal does get washed out a little. They both have great detail though you can see it better on a grey/matte substrate versus a silver/shiny substrate.
That's today's quick update, I'm off to send the Smoke Test. Please offer any feedback for those that receive it.
Stay Effincool,
Ed
Pledge Manager Update!
almost 4 years ago

Hello Effincooligans,
Your friendly neighborhood EffinEd here. The Pledge Manager (BackerKit) is now under review. It'll take 2 business days to review and if they find or suggest any changes we'll decide whether to make them or not. There are 104 unique figures in this campaign, then factor in that the All in pledges get 113 pieces each, and there's a mix of metal and plastic, that's about 200 SKU's. Based on what you've already selected, there's over 12,000 minis to produce before you even start your surveys. As of now that's 10,000 plastic and 2,000 Metal.
We had 85 backers pick the ALA CARTE level so that's more selections for sure, as well as if people would like to double any current selections. This is a Great Project!
So once the pledge manager is reviewed and approved, we get to do a smoke test, which sends surveys out to about 5% of the backers in each pledge level. This is to help us see if there are any bugs in our setup. The 5% are randomly selected so we'll post when that happens too so we can get some feedback from you. Once we see how it's working.. One Click and it's then live for Everyone! Of course, there will be an update when that happens as well.
Thank you all for your support.
Stay Effincool

What a finish!

Thanks to all 444 of you for making this happen. This is the most funded project that Effincool Miniatures has done to date.
Did you all think I would really not unlock the Dracotaur? I decided it was close enough to 450 backers, but the graphic did not upload in time. I cannot edit the project anymore, so what this means is that if you would like to have the miniature and are not in the ALL IN pledge, you will have to wait until the survey goes out and then add it at that point.
Thank you all again for this fun ride of a project!

Thanks to your support Everything is now unlocked!

As our way of saying thank you all for this last minute rush of funding, we have decided to unlock the last four financial goals. Our mission as a company is to make miniatures and we would not have selected the miniatures that we did for this project if we did not intend on trying to make all of them. Our goal might not be what we secretly wanted, but it is for sure enough to produce everything we have here even if our profit is a bit lower!
So with that the Empty Cloak, the Carniverous Sod, the Hoarfrost Drake and the War Wyvern with Rider are all unlocked.
If you are in the ALL IN pledge group, these miniature will be automatically included in your order. That brings the total miniature count to 112 which is 98 Medium, 9 Large and 6 Huge!
If you would like any of these miniatures and are not in the ALL IN pledge, please add funds equal to the price indicated in the graphics for the miniature you want. Also if you would like to upgrade your pledge to the ALL IN pledge, you will need to click "Adjust My Pledge" and select ALL IN.
We ar eholding our ground on the last social stretch goal though. We need 22 more backers in the time we have left!!!

We are a few hours into the final 48 of this campaign. This is almost about to be the highest funding campaign that Effincool Miniatures has had, so thank you all very much!
We have unlocked the Kobold Wizard at $30k as well as the Two Unique Husks at $32k funding levels so there are now three more for the people who have selected the ALL IN pledge. If you are not in the ALL IN pledge and would like these miniautures please adjust your pledge total by the amount indicated in the graphic.
These unlocks bring the current total for the ALL IN pledge to 100 Miniatures with 91 Medium, 5 Large and 4 Huge!
We are also moving into position to unlock the next Social STRETCH GOAL: The Millitaur which unlocks at 350 backers.
That brings us to the next 2 Social STRETCH GOALS.
The Hierophant Lich and the Dracotaur will be unlocked at 400 and 450 backers when we hit those!
As always please make sure you are sharing the campaign on your social media accounts. These social goals unlock even if the backers only pledge $1!
