Here’s an update on the progress of the juggernaut that is the Boss Fight Studio Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter. They have officially passed the $150K mark, unlocking King Leonidas and The Black Racer Gorgon. With 40 more supporters, they will unlock the Female Amazon Warrior Figure and less than $15K away from unlocking Eurayle and a Myrmidon Warrior. They have revealed another sneak peek at series 2 with the first look at the Shadowcast: Psionic Warrior with his Shadow Cast Warriors.
Read on to check it out. You can view their Kickstarter campaign Here.

Bring it!
The sculpt on the figure looks great in person. They were really excited for it. I was talking to them a bit and, like a lot of fans, they're tired of the 5 points of articulation stuff too. They hinted at some cool stuff being done down the road, and not just the spartan figures, but a wide range of themes. Really looking forward to seeing what they have planned.
clearly these fellows(and maybe ladies, I'm not a prick) have a vision. and...
AND....yes, please, I'm in. when they figure out the kickstarter, I'm in. full. on. support.
breath it in.
I wanna see that thing in different poses. The only thing I can complain about is the lack of a thigh swivel. Other than that, THIS is how you pique my interest in 4 inch figures. That thing has articulation that can almost match Marvel Legends.
Im in too. Im not personally into the Greek / Mythical stuff, but I'll support it as they move forward so they can do other things
.
One can dream.
Personally, I'd like to see some robotic or future-tech military stuff. Not a G.I. Joe clone, something unique yet still military. Haloish I guess. And robits. Terminator/Robocop/BATS vs Halo/Gears/KillZone. Or something.

more please.
I just want a 10 pack of those stands, x10. Smaller footprint than Joe ones, not as small as the other ones out there, can stop buying loosies with the wrong names on eBay.
so she gets ankle pivot articulation and the guy doesn't
I'm real happy with what Boss Fight is doing so far. I'm a little iffy on the hip articulation but I want to see one in person before I get too judgmental. Really looking forward to this release.
Edit: I saw a picture on their Facebook page that had the prototype posed a little and I am happy to say that the hip articulation looks like their take on the GI Joe T-bar. I don't know if that piece will be metal or plastic but it is one of my favorite (and in my opinion) best hip articulation system I've seen so far and to see Boss Fight use something similar has me excited more.
Hopefully they sell blank bodies too! I would love to get one of those to custom make a figure or two!
Q: Will you offer blank versions of your figure bodies for customizers?
A: That’s something we’ve talked about a great deal, and will likely be offered as a stretch-goal in our kickstarter campaign.

I think that the female figure's abs are a little too chiseled. Aside from that, the lack of thigh rotation, and the arm swivel being at the elbow, and not the bicep. They look good. I think that the guy should get ankle rockers too, but that's not that big of a deal breaker.
I was surprised they didn't decide to just do this outright since it's something customizers really want access to (and they claim to be customizers) so maybe they are guessing that a straight-up blank as their initial release wouldn't generate as much sales as a themed figure. I have faith in their vision for this line and I really think the blanks will get to the public regularly. I even think blanks on their own will outsell the themed figure line... As long as the figures are competitively priced.
But yeah, thigh rotation would be nice. It's something I think Joe figures are sorely lacking in.
Another, less important issue I have with rocker ankles is that they're harder to render compatible when swapping feet out. The traditional feet can simply be pulled off and plugged into effectively any other leg with the same kind of hole. But rocker ankles have a concavity that is proprietarily sculpted for the specific leg they're meant to connect to.
