Happy Sunday everyone. Reaper Bones closed, and once again north of 3 Million. Now, Bones II did stop short – by some 300.000,- – of the US$ 3.429.236,-, record set by Bones I. Still, having cracked the secret to raising 3 Million US$ for miniatures – twice in two years…. man! Congratulations Reaper Bones! #1 – Reaper […]
Last year’s Reaper Bones Kickstarter was easily the highest-grossing crowd-funding campaign for miniatures.

With recent successes, such as Reaper’s Million Dollar Kickstarter, this model is clearly shaking up the miniature business. I wonder if it is a model that could be attractive for the “big guys” […]
A week ago I wrote a short brief about Reaper Miniature‘s Bones Kickstarter in my post about ‘Five Current Crowd-Fund Miniature Projects You Could Back Today‘.
