Congrats to all who wanted this. If I knew how to search I'd pull up all the separate occasions that I said this would fund (there was at least three), the crystal ball never lies!Β πΒ Happy for the excitement this brings to the backers.
Happy to see this backed. Canβt wait to have this in hand next year!
Whoo! I'm excited like I backed it. Congrats to everyone who did π
HUZZAH!
I was working all day, so couldn't really interact, but been following the campaign and refreshing the count and this thread constantly. Exciting!
I was pretty sure that if Hank got a little momentum, say, to 8000, and it looked like it was possibleΒ that he would/could exist, all the fence-sitters (and yes, even the nay-sayers) would feel forced to jump on. No one wants to miss the bandwagon if it is actually driving by...
Case in point: last year's EoV base offering I had NO interest in-- don't know that iteration of Ghost Rider, and am not a car guy-- but I did like and want the tier figures, and enjoyed following the campaign. If it had gotten a couple thousand away from funding, I probably would have broken down and bought in. But because the campaign went negative and never got past 6000, it didn't have a hope in, uh, hell. When I knew no one was getting it, it didn't bother me as much.
In Giant-Man's case, it just took enough of a push, to get him to start like a snowball rolling down a hill.Β
Now let's see those tiers!
Stoked for you guys. Itβs a great looking figure. I didnβt back for a combination of still being happy with the Toybiz one and lacking fundsΒ
And Iβll be here, cash in hand, for next yearβs huge Fin Fang Foomβ¦
Same here.Β Actually, you can substitute "lacking funds" for "the wife putting spending under the microscope for the month of October", and you'd have my position as well.
Fin Fang Foom next year.Β You can take that to the bank!
Β
Really happy for the win for Dan, Ryan and Dwight.Β They needed this one and this Legends team has kept me interested even when the prices got all wonky.
Secondary market?Β I think this relatively low initial investment will warrant a strong after market.Β The amount of people jumping on at this point seems to indicate the fear that it'll be a lot more than $200 later.Β Β It's been 1/2 an hour since it hit the goal and 500 600 700 more units have backed.Β
C'mon Skrull head!!
Some of you are salty-as-F that others aren't spending their money the way you want them to. You're not special because you're backer #1 or a day-one backer. It funded. Hour zero or hour twelve, everyone is getting the same thing.
Wooo! So glad it made it!
Now that it's funded I can say this - I didn't to contribute to any negativity, but I'd been feeling pretty pessimistic about this since yesterday. Even knowing the last-minute surge trend I still was worried. I was in the minority of people that really wanted the EoV, and while this campaign was obviously nothing like that one, maybe I was a little scarred.
Very happy to be getting a big 'ol Pym for our collections!
Now that this funded get ready for that big FOMO energy. I bet we get every tier.
This one I skipped. It's pushing my collecting criterial for Legends, and I already rearrange the room 3 times this year.
If they have the danglies to do Fin Fang Foom, boy I'm in for multiples! I can't wait to see all the pictures coming in the future. There are going to be some BIG dioramas in the works now.Β
Outstanding. I am so pumped that it funded. I had hope, but I admit I was nervous.Β
Now to start reevaluating my display space and figure out how best to make him room.Β
Dan Yun is on Unparalleled Universe.Β He just said he only slept one hour last night because he sat on the Haslab page refreshing it over and over.Β 😳Β
β¦ and Dan confirmed he gets messages from people saying they hope it fails and that he, Ryan & Dwight get fired.Β
