So, I did some cypherin' and came up with this list of KickStarter sole-item pledges to gauge the popularity of various items in this many-featured project:
I excluded All-In and Wave set counts as they don't show any sort of preference between items. Seven of the Top Ten items are sole critters with the other three combo sets of critter, armor, and figure. This tells me most contributors were following on their general 'I love dinosaurs' kick from previous projects, with a few coming in for the new play pattern of the armor and figure add-ons to the dinos.
The most popular single item being the basic Smilodon should suprise no one as many 6" collectors are wanting him for Zabu. The second-most popular item being my own choice's Dino Rider Sabretooth + Helina homage set is also little surprise since it's KS-only.
Silva says he's trying to get the BackerKit up by this Friday, and showed off the painted proto of Dybukk:
BackerKits should be in your email.
I thought BackerKit let one make payments as one goes. The KS-update email that went out simultaneously says
Lockdown
The lockdown date for these surveys is February 20th, 2024. What this means is that you have until then to add everything that you'd like, and no new charges will be made until the lockdown date.
I'm not seeing a lot of an advantage to BK over KS if I gotta have all my money ready at the lockdown instead of making 'lay-away' payments. I thought that was one of the points of BK's existence at all.
If you're like me today is probably your last paycheck before he locks the Backerkit down for production. I've gotten in an order for one each of all 9 individual figures on top of the chick with the blue-armor Sabretooth so I'm good for now.
WOW. The sitting and stalking poses...

EDIT: Why has it stopped including image previews? Here's the first one, plenty more impressive ones at the link:
Smilodon looks badass. Very excited that I was able to grab that set. Can't believe it can hit that incredible sitting pose so well.
Looks really great! The Cyberzoic KS will be my first experience with Creative Beast stuff, and I'm pretty excited for it!
I love everything I've gotten from them thus far, and CyberZoic is like 3 or 4 steps above that stuff.
And yeah, that sitting pose is a gem of a thing. I need a third head with a bit of tongue blep showing, and some swappable murder mittens paws with the claws extended.
They showed a black version on IG, do we know when/where/how that'll be coming? I passed on a second tan version but will need the SaberVoid.
@adrienveidt That's good to hear, thanks man! I went in for everything except the Dragons, but I don't remember seeing a black Smilodon. Will have to take al look at their IG account and see if I can find it.
