Reaper Miniatures launched another Kickstarter campaign Monday, and netted more than $1 million from 9,000 backers in less than 24 hours.
The new Reaper Miniatures Bones II: The Return of Mr. Bones campaign hit its modest $30,000 goal in less than three minutes, according to backer updates, and has run through more than 30 stretch goals in less than 24 hours. The new set started with 30 core miniatures, with options to expand and pledge more for additional stretch goal sets over time. Some of the interesting additions include licensed miniatures from Pathfinder Miniatures and Savage Worlds (Deadlands), as well as more demon and large dragon models than last campaign.
And they still have 24 days to go.
The undisputed King of Tabletop Kickstarters (on ICv2’s updated list from September, see "Top 10 Tabletop Game Kickstarters"), Reaper grossed $3.4 million from nearly 18,000 backers during its August 2012 Dark Heaven: Bones Kickstarter (see "Reaper Kickstarter Raises $3.4 Million"). The unprecedented success of the plastic miniatures line eventually led to the production of over 200 new figures and over seven million individual figures produced (this according to their latest Kickstarter video).
