I just wanted to give a general update for Fan Funding in 2022. We will have a pause on new Fan Funding for a few more months this year. There are several reason for this, such as a few items from the backlog still need to be released (these will be up soon), kind of full new BT item in the pipeline for the year with a few items that would be web only variant, and a new factor increasing cost of materials. As with many things in the last few years, the cost of molds have increase dramatically along with metal prices. Some of the costs for having items produced via Fan Funding will have to be adjusted to incorporate more funds to go towards the printing of part (I have been adding already) put extra for the molds and molding time. Because of these changes, we may end up doing fewer Fan Funding products / spread them out more. I will also have to be more mindful of what some variants will take to be done, if its just a pair of arms, that is easy. But when we go with arms, toros body, and another parts that is when we add even more molding costs to the equation.
The Gossamer and Celerity will still be the first units that Fan Funding will tackle later this year. I have already talked to who would do the sculpting for each so I can start to work what the Fan Funding project goal for each will be.
