The fantastic Boss Fight Studio Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign hit a big stretch goal today with their 700th backer, unlocking the highly desired Amazon Warrior! She gets automatically added to any “All In” pledges, and is available as a stretch goal for anyone who meets the $115 minimum.
Keep in mind, too, if you want to add the extras to your pledge, please do it BEFORE the Kickstarter ends! All you need to do is just adjust your pledge and add the amount in that you want to spend on extras, then when the Kickstarter ends, you simply choose the ones you want. Over on JoeCustoms, pluv posted a fantastic tutorial:
Now you may be asking why we’re pushing this so hard right now?
Well, it just so happens that the $165,000 stretch goal is very, VERY close. Once that stretch goal hits, not only do we get Medusa’s sister Eurayle and the Myrmidon Warrior unlocked, but also folks who go “All In” at the $500 level (or above) start getting much better deals. It’s a great chance for folks to bump up their pledges and get more for less!
So if you haven’t supported the Boss Fight Studio Kickstarter yet, please consider doing it! They all really appreciate the support.

The world of action figure Kickstarters is a roller coaster ride, and the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign is no different! Today they surged through another milestone stretch goal, breaking $150,000 and unlocking King Leonidas and the Black Racer Gorgon.
Even better is every day we get closer to the $165,000 stretch goal level, and once that level is hit the “All In” funding option becomes a great deal, only getting better as the stretch goals go on.
Along with all of this, they are only 45 backers away from the magic 700, which adds the Amazon to those same levels, and makes the “All In” even better! Keep watching the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter and take best advantage of those stretch goals!

The past few days have brought some exciting news about the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter from Boss Fight Studio, and everyone supporting it deserves a huge round of thanks!
A few milestones to talk about…
First of all, the latest stretch goal was reached early yesterday, and the first four “Blank Figures” are now unlocked! This includes the very popular “Python Purple” female.
Also announced was that at 700 Backers, Boss Fight Studio will be adding the exciting Amazon Warrior to the Kickstarter. It stands at 604 backers right now, we need another 96. Spread the word! This Amazon will be available to purchase at $25 for anyone who has pledged at least $115, and will be included with the “All In” pledges as well! GO GO GO!
The next stretch goal to watch for stands at $150,000 which will give us King Leonidas himself as well as the “Black Racer” Gorgon Warrior. Two exciting Wave 3 figures! Let’s make this happen! With each Stretch Goal unlocked that only makes the $500 “All In” option an even better deal, so let’s unlock these stretch goals, boost some pledges, and capitalize on it!

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Hell no! For Special Edition #40, we get four members of the illustrious Boss Fight Studio on the mikes, including Andrew, Erik, Fred, and Dave. They came on the show to talk about their Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter Campaign, answer some hotly demanded questions, and just generally shoot the breeze.
Regular listeners know that Boss Fight are all good friends of the show, and we were happy to be able to sit down and talk with them for a good solid chunk of time. Speaking of their Kickstarter campaign, consider supporting it if you haven’t already, we’re marching towards another stretch goal! Listen to the episode on Podbean, or use the embedded player, and Show Notes are below.
SHOW NOTES
OK, we admit it, we are friends, fans and huge shills for our buddies at Boss Fight Studios. Since their Kickstarter campaign launched, we’ve done nothing but talk about these guys. Rightfully so! They are a very talented group of artists who worked on our favorite brand and we want to see them do well away from the corporate shackles. They are fans just like us trying to live the dream! The great part is, even you can help! Have a spare dollar? Maybe a spare $30? How about a spare $100 or more? EVERY DOLLAR AND EVERY BACKER TO THE CAMPAIGN COUNTS! It is a safe investment as the initial funding level has been met, but don’t let that deter you from pitching in! Now, sometimes these Kickstarter things are a little bit difficult to understand. How do I contribute my money? Is it secure? Do they take my money now? What are the different contribution levels? What are stretch goals? Learn all about these questions and more in this special edition. Pardon in advance on some of the audio breaking up. We were stretching the bandwidth to its limits. However, settle in as we discuss their project (and have some fun at Chuck’s expense) over the next hour. We hope you enjoy and when you are done, here is the almighty link to allow you to contribute. You won’t be disappointed!

As I currently write this, the Virtuvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign sits at about $116,000 and is reaching towards the next stretch goal at $120,000. Once that next stretch goal is unlocked, hungry toy fans will get the Underworld Warrior and Sthenos (Medusa’s sister) unlocked!
I’ve mentioned both of these characters before, but as I was taking a close up look at Sthenos today, I noticed something quite interesting.
If you check the image out below, on the left you’ll see some concept art for an unused “Pythona” action figure, art by Ron Rudat. On the right, you’ll see the input art for Sthenos.
I gotta say that’s pretty awesome. It looks like (intentional or not) this Pythona art is reflected in a couple of cool ways with Sthenos. And of course, Sthenos has that amazing Cobra-themed command staff. Some real fun stuff in this one, even if you’re not a mythology fan. A little something for everyone.
So, think about supporting the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign. We’ll have to see what other Easter Eggs are hanging out there for us!
