Hey! Since the end of the Kickstarter we’ve been hard at work testing the game and laying out the components. Work has continued on sculpting the figures for the range – and today we’ve got two new figures to show you. And these are special, because they’re exclusive to the Kickstarter. First up, it’s Abraham: Those of you who caught the end of the latest season of the tv show, you’re in for a treat. Here’s Negan! We are still working on finishing up the pledge manager so that you can tell us where to send your pledge and what you wanted for your pledge amount. We’re thinking of adding a set to the pledge manager where you can get a good deal on some of the red brick terrain we showed off in our photography – would you like to see something like that? Let us know.

Well...better later than never. Minis are cool. More scenery at discount price is nice too. Will consider it

yeah, I would be interested in more scenery, but I don't like the red brick buildings from their mars attacks stuff that much. However, they do have some nice cars and trucks from that line.

The resin vehicles for MA were produced by Antenocity's Workshop and trying to add them to the TWD license when they are already under the MA one would be a legal nightmare so we won't see them . Ainsty Castings make some great suitable resin wrecked vehicles though Loving the Negan and Abe minis though, they are perfect representations of their comic counterparts (though Abe's AK does look a bit barren).

i would have preferred a Negan waiving Lucille with a big smile on his face... but I guess as now it's a ks exclusive... the regular one for next campaign/retail might answer my wish.

I think they look great as well. They are still just renderings at the moment, I'm sure there are many times where models need to be tweaked or altered due to manufacturing requirements, so these may not be the final product just yet.
I don't know why, but I almost feel like this was a forced update from mantic due to the outcry on the comments section of the kickstarter. While it seems to have settled that, we have no significant information regarding, timelines, approvals, rule/playtesting or manufacturing details. Personally, I would be more interested in this information and I have a suspicion that mantic was/is waiting to uncover and finalize this type of info before a legitimate update come out. Still, I will take the new look at the new mini's gladly.

I''ve not been following the comments on the KS, but I do appreciate feedback / updates from KS creators. For that reason in my opinion, we were due one, almost regardless of content. Just keeps you believing that all is ticking along and (hopefully) calms the temper of any frustrated backers. As to the models: I like them. Shame about the vehicles though, coz I'd snap them up. agreed!

I feel as if some noisy people forced this update also, it's the same voices every day too, lol. It appears most of us are happy with waiting while a half dozen that comment complain if something hasn't been mentioned for a week or so (hell, some of them were nagging for a update a few days after the KS funding closed). It is also surprising how often some of them have asked the same things too, despite how many times they have been given a answer

Loving these new models. Not sure on the red brick scenery, doesn't really fit with my image of the places they go. Maybe if they did them grayscale like the comics...

I could easily do that but what is the harm for asking for it in a different colour as well? I wasn't demanding, just a suggestion.

no harm i agree that as is the red tone is not really nice. but i would use them for warehouse/industrial plant setting.
