The Plastic Army Women Kickstarter has just ended. In the end 1238 backers pledged USD $55,401.


Stretch goals added a Nurse, Stretcher Team, Military Working Dag and Dog Hanler to the set. Backers who pledged $25 or more will receive a Rosie the Riveter figure.

These figures are not for me but it's great news that an unusual range can be produced in this way. Does anyone know what it costs to produce a mold for eight figures these days?

Wow!! How does an "ordinary citizen" get one of the "Rosie the Riveter" figures?

She is great!

Another manufacturer was going to make one, but I am still waiting.

Happy collecting,

Oberstinhaber.

Your misogyny is showing.

 

[WeekendWarrior]

Cool idea, horrible execution. Reposing male figures with female bodies and hair is a bit of a lost opportunity; I know some females who have served with great distinction in OIF/OEF and it would be nice to see them depicted realistically, not this silliness.

Ever serve with females in an infantry outfit Amigo? I have.

Meh. Doesn't change what I posted, No Amigo.

I'm not mincing words with this. I think this is one of the stupidest releases of all time. Unless you are a 10 year old tom boy little girl I see no market for these.

 

[CHuDWah]

Just had to make it political as well as misogynistic, didn't you? :rolleyes2:

Actually, it was a 6-year-old little girl - dunno if she's a tomboy. Apparently BMC did research and got enough positive response to justify production. Even if they never sell any figures, the publicity may make it worthwhile.

Just pokin'some fun at CHuDWah.No harm,no foul....or...

Let's keep it clean and on topic boys. I have no problem deleting inappropriate comments and closing the thread completely if needed.

I have and they were excellent soldiers and officers. If this move attracts more people to the hobby, I'm all for it!
