Shame on me for not talking about this yet…
Somewhat lost in the shuffle of convention news and G.I. Joe: Retaliation stuff is that everyone’s favorite Gun Runner, Marauder, Inc. has fired off another Kickstarter campaign! The funding of his next series of weapons was such a successful endeavor, he is using Kickstarter again, this time for a “Mark II” supplemental set.
This supplemental set includes items that were planned for possible “stretch goals” in the previous campaign, but done on their own, they can be had for a much more modest amount. These items should be familiar to all fans out there! We’ve got a “Pulse” modular accessory, a flashbang accessory, and a laser accessory. You can check out the mirrored images below.
no images were found
Various different contributions will earn various different levels of these weapons, including multiple weapons in the package, and even painted versions of these guns! As you can see above these are some highly valued and very desirable accessories for all of you G.I. Joe fans out there.
So go ahead and hit up the latest Kickstarter campaign from Marauder “Gun Runners”. He has already achieved his primary goal, but by hitting the stretch goals, many more options are open. See the details at Kickstarter.

Okay, we’re down within the final 24 hours of the Marauder “Gun Runners” Kickstarter campaign and the good news is, Marauder has MET THE KICKSTARTER GOAL! Woo hoo! As of 7:45 this morning, contributions have been met to make this project happen.
Keep in mind, Marauder has plenty of stretch goals as well, and the more money that comes in, the more stuff that will be available to everyone.
As an added thank you, Marauder has also beefed up the rewards for folks contributing at the Pirate Horde or Double Horde levels. This may provide an added incentive to bolster your contribution. The Marauder “Gun Runners” Kickstarter page is right here, and read the details of the latest update below.
Hey Folks!
Since we might not hit some of the “stretch” goals and we really want to add “more” stuff to the packages….we are ADDING a Complete Series #6 set in “Realistic” paint scheme to the Pirate Hoard level (and 2 to the Double Hoard level) as a “thank you” for those contributing to our project (at NO addtional costs to those who have participated at those levels or will participate at those levels). Also, will be glad to “swap” out the below painted Series #6 set for the “Realistic” painted new items (Picaroon level) or the “Desert Tan” painted new items (again, can make your selection in the after event “survey”).
Here are some painted samples (final designs may vary slightly from items shown):
Here are ALL the items NOW in the $100 Pirate Hoard level:
Thanks again for your support!

For going several years now I’ve been saying good things about Marauder “Gun Runners”, not just for the excellent product they release, but their outstanding customer service, willingness to accept fan input, and outstanding communication has created a strong and intense fan following.
Now those fans need to step up.
Marauder “Gun Runners” has been receiving lots of customer requests for new product, to the point where they can’t logistically produce their excellent items on a time frame to meet demand. So Marauder John has announced via Facebook that they are launching an exciting Kickstarter Campaign to fund future releases!
Their current goal is $17,000, which would allow them to fund production for 10 ALL NEW items for their “Gun Runners” business, and that includes unpainted weapons as well as pre-painted versions as well.
There will be several “stretch goals” as well, which means for a certain amount over their $17,000 goal, they will add more NEW ITEMS to this assortment. This is our chance, Joe fans. Marauder “Gun Runners” has done amazing stuff for us over the past seven years, we NEED to step up and kick in some funds to help get this new assortment into the production chain. It will only benefit all of us with great new gear and accessories for our favorite 1:18 scale figures.
Hit up the Kickstarter project RIGHT HERE!
