Marauder’s KickStarter is a project to get the 1:18th miniature figure & gaming accessories you want now!
Why are they doing this?
Since the launch of Marauder GR 7 years ago, MGR has received a tremendous amount of support from you. They’re honored that many have chosen Marauder to equip their action & gaming figures. They’ve received hundreds of suggestions for additional Marauder 1:18 scale miniature accessories. It’s clear that you, their supporters, want more of these gear & accessories. Their goal, since day one, is to deliver quality 1:18 scale miniature action figure & gaming gear at affordable prices…and always show their gratitude!
To release items that will meet your standards takes a tremendous amount of effort and as it turns out, they’re also really expensive to produce. The mold costs alone are astronomical. In order to grow this line, Marauder Gun Runners can do it slow and steady over the next several years, or they can defer to you guys and launch new items as soon as possible. Each plastic miniature accessory measures 1/2 of an inch to 3 inches long.
Which brings us to Marauder GR’s “project” here on kickstarter. If they stick with their current time table for the “new” items, they’re looking at a May/June 2014 release (almost 2 years from now) and then a summer 2016 release for the next “new” items….yes, that is a LONG TIME TO WAIT! Marauder John’s wish to get the production/development started for new Marauder GR items now, so they can make the new items available to their supporters by May 2013 (about 8 months or possilby sooner!). They hope to cover the prototype, tooling and production process of the new series much quicker than the estimated spring 2014 release.
You can show your support by visiting the following link and making a donation (donations start as low as $1!). For donations of $15 and up, John and the crew will make sure that you’re taken care of by sending you some sweet schwag!

I never realised it was so expensive to cast items, $17k investment in order to cast 10 new items, ouch!
M_renegade says
It's development, test, cast and release.
You have to pay materials, pay sculptors etc
(most likely some test shots too and any "failed" model, i assume)

I highly encourage EVERYONE to support this. Marauder John and Co make some of, if not the BEST 3rd party Joe weaponry. Seriously, they are a class act and the stuff you can get for funding the kickstarter is pretty sweet too!
