I don't have Twitter, but do let me know if they're confronted with questions about the new characters.

Day 37: $97,943 in sales Total of $2,756,563 as of 8:25PM

The sales trend rose to a moving average of ~$35K/Day over the past 5 days (since the 32st.)
8 Day average ~$32K/Day (counting from the 29th)
There are ~8 Days left in the campaign.

The next unlock is the female mummies sculpt in ~$43.5K The alt-sculpt female mummies will likely unlock within the next two days of NA sales based on current trends. However there has been a definite push for additional backers.

Overall the numbers are trending up by a large margin over the past 5 days when looking at global, the expected “international bump” occurred which should place the next one about ~6 days from now (unless they do a secondary bump tomorrow).

The 3M goal for the bard hero and quest book is ~243k away, or ~$30.5k/day

To hit the 3.2M stretch goal for the alternate abomination sculpts would require ~$443K or ~$55K/day.

To reach the 4M stretch goal (and the dragon!) would require an average of ~$155k/day over the next 8 days.

I don't have Twitter, but do let me know if they're confronted with questions about the new characters.

Most of the comments are about increasing the availability. There are almost no comments or questions about how bad the new Heroes are, which is weird considering the vast majority of fans seem to really dislike them.

More colorizing tests... (not official, obviously). Hopefully they make some of the furniture gray (Sorcerer's Table, Tomb, Doors) and not just brown (the rest).

Pre production dwarf on Boardgame geek

[Pancho]

So the new dwarf is almost twice the height of the old dwarf. This seems to confirm my earlier claim that the new models would not be compatible with the old game, even if I slice off the circular bases and squint a bit to ignore the obvious stylistic differences.

The male dwarf appears to be about a head taller (taking into consideration the much taller base).
(Based on the miniature comparison in the video from Always Board never boring.

It really depends on how big you think a dwarf should be in comparison to an orc, and whether the models should all be exactly representative of their species. The old skeletons were clearly from a tribe of humans that were much bigger than the tribes that the barbarian and wizard came from.

I’m comparing the dwarf with the dwarf, as per the photo linked to. You couldn’t run the two dwarves on the same table without it looking really odd.
I’m inclined to think that hardly any of the new figures will be compatible with our cherished game, but let’s wait and see. Maybe the gargoyle and abominations, but with improved stats...

And the orcs were pretty stunted and not very muscular in the classic set. Unlike the Barbarian. I mean look at the muscalaaaarity on that Barbarian, now compare that to the orcs. They obviously don’t go to the gym or seriously work out. The orcs in the old set don’t look the part of “scary dungeon dweller” they’re slightly inflated goblins. And the heroes were obviously being chased by at least two Orc chefs... look at those meat cleavers.
