David Silva's Beasts of the Cenozoic and Eons mammoth Backerkit

So this doesn't have a chance, huh?

So this doesn't have a chance, huh?

I don't know, jumped up about 5k since just this morning. Never say never, I suppose.

[Faelrin]

I was just looking at it like an hour ago. Went from $139k to $144k. Nearly $40k left.

@Faelrin any idea on the trends we saw with the final hours of the previous campaigns? I'm curious to know what percentage of the final number came during the last few days and if we'll see something similar here.

[Elengassen]

I don't collect Cenozoic animals but I was thinking of pledging for one of the smaller figures, just to help out the campaign. However, my current financial situation unfortunately precludes this. I hope these figures are still able to get made somehow, even if the Backerkit doesn't reach its goal.

[Giganotosaurus]

I added the 1/35 mammoth to my 1/18 mammoth pledge. Not much more, but I really want this to at least reach 185k!

[Duke Dino]

This is my first time backing figures like this. I committed to $280 for the two Mammoths and the cub.

I would be willing to also to commit to the other three figures--the Moeritherium, the Platybelodon, and the Gomphotherium.

Can I do that now, to help pad the overall numbers? Or are those not able to be pledged at this time, and why not?

Thank for any insights.

I got an email from Complexly/Creative Beast Studio saying that they are trying to convince Backerkit to extend the campaign!

[Faelrin]

D @Duke Dino They aren't unlocked yet because their goals have yet to be met (never mind the main campaign itself). I would advise against increasing your pledge to accommodate them, until they get unlocked (if they do this late in the game).

@Carnoking I posted the graphs for all the previous campaigns here. Feel free to compare them. And if you need to see this campaign's, use backertracker:

For backertracker you can see the numbers by hovering over the bars on the graphs.

For example at the time of this post, the campaign has raised over $10k with over 30 new backers (edit: for today).

The campaign has been extended and now ends on October 10

[suspsy]

The campaign is now at just over $160,000 USD. I think it's going to succeed!

[Carnoking]

The extension all but guarantees the mammoths. I'm curious to see where the campaign will be tonight during the original deadline

[Flaffy]

A damn shame none of the stretch goals are in reach. Hopefully they'll see production in the future with some of David's magic.

[Flaffy]

This all but confirms why this project was run so... differently, compared to David's own campaigns. Creative Beast Studio indeed was only involved in the R&D aspect.

[Papi-Anon]

I pledged for an adult and baby 1/18th non-snowy mammoth, and also the 1/35th mammoth (Backer #42!). The night of the deadline I'll pledge for one more 1/18th adult. I REALLY wanted the pledge goals to be achieved (and who knows, we might get one or two in the next few days), but I'll be happy to just make a mammoth family.

That being said, if the campaign fails I hope it doesn't deter Silvas from still pursuing his own Beasts of the Cenozoic line.

[BlueKrono]

By all rights this campaign should have failed. They used some kind of cheat code and just pushed the duration out, which I didn't know was possible. But $185,000 is just too high a mark for only woolly mammoths.

[Faelrin]

Nearly 10k left now, with 4 days left still. I think the mammoths will be funded for sure thanks to this extension. Unfortunately don't think the stretch goals are going to make the cut.

@BlueKrono They had to have like 50 people spread the campaign on twitter in order for backerkit to approve their request to extend the campaign, if I understand things correctly.

[Flaffy]

Just under $9000 to go, so around 45 units of the $200 mammoth at least.

Hopefully this campaign will succeed by the new extended deadline.

[croco_105]

The campaign has met its 185k goal, so we will at least get the mammoths.

[Carnoking]

Cheat code or no cheat code, glad to see this reached its funding goal.

This may have been mentioned elsewhere but are there any plans to sell these figures prior to the campaign? I would think yes but I don't recall them mentioning who would be carrying them. David perhaps?
