I wouldn't mind them adding in a shirt or hat instead of more minis after the anti-heroes....I almost feel bad with how much I am gonna be getting already.....almost. I can't believe they raised so much money. I informed my group and I know my buddy is drooling over the Elder Ones and is gonna hit this for some serious bucks. Too hard to resist with what you are getting.
We always need more animals... And the vermin mini's were nice but I could use some beetles.
I thought that was what credit cards for created for.*sighs* I'd have loved to have supported this, but alas no money until next month.
C'est la vie
Perhaps so, but seeing as how I don't have a credit card... still in the same boat. :/
I keep seeing reaper says "you requested these" when they show the next stretch goal, but where are these requests coming from? Is there some other link to voting or something for the next releases?
Whoa, so I if you buy into this, you just get paints and the sophie next month and have to wait until March of next year for all the rest of the minis?

Not sure if they plan on packaging everything together or not. The Bones definetely wont ship until March at the earliest. They are raising funds for the molds to actually make them, and then they need to be shipped from China. Honestly, since every kickstarter with shipping I have funded has been held up in customs longer than expected, I don't expect these until April. Though Reaper probably knows what it is doing when setting this date better than others.
But...Moooooonk! :) I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Oh, are we still missing the monk?
Missing the Monk, Cavalier, Druid, Summoner, Ranger, Inquisitor, Oracle, Ninja, Samurai, and Gunslinger
Next goal is the last four pathfinder iconics, Lem, Ezren, Kyra, and the emo fighter mage guy.
So over 200 minis for 100 dollars, or less than 50 cents a mini. Never going to see a deal this good again.
Last four Iconics? By my count that will leave us with 10 stil unaccounted for (And Reaper does make all of them):
Harsk - Dwarven Ranger
Sajan - Human Monk
Lini - Gnome Druid (w/ Snow Leopard Animal Companion)
Lirianne - Half-Elf Gunslinger
Alahazra - Human Oracle
Imrijka - Half-Orc Inquisitor
Balazar - Gnome Summoner
Alain - Human Cavalier
Nakayama Hayato - Human Samurai
Reiko - Human Ninja
The top three are straight out of the Core Rulebook. (I still have no idea why, the Witch, Alchemist, and Magus were out ahead of the Ranger, Druid, and Monk)
And as for September shipping it's Sophie and the Dungeon attack (the 36 already available bones - Non-Golarion Goblins, Kobolds, and Giant Rats), at least according to the Kickstarter pagge.
Damn, Ninja'd (but at least I gave them names I suppose)
But...Moooooonk! :) I'll keep my fingers crossed.
P.S. I just want to say I'm not trying to be impossible...I am super stoked for this and love everything Reaper's revealed so far, and at the fantastic deal we are getting here.
Think they'll really hit more than a Mill and a half?

The very conservative kicktraq estimate is over 2 million. Kickstarter mini projects (historically) earn between 40-50% of their funding in the last few days. For example: http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1744629938/kings-of-war#chart-daily or http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1103158358/red-box-games-helsvakt-horde#ch art-daily
If reaper follows the trend set by sedition wars, zombicide, mantic and red box games it will end up north of 3 million. Things sort of snowball at the end.
A Vampire pledge is now $897.42 in miniatures for $100 in their current form (mostly metal, some resin, a few in Bones plastic already) + 21 new sculpts + Sophie.
I was not aware of either of those facts (either the kickstarter averages or the Holy smokes factor of I'm getting how much for my 100$ pledge)

Reaper has confirmed that there are more pathfinder minis coming:
We have a lot of goals to go and only 4 full 24-hour periods to go. I can confirm that all of the remaining iconics, as well as some pathfinder monsters form our metal lines are on the list, but cannot guarantee that we will reach or even go far enough to reveal them. remember, we planned out to 4 million (Ok, 4.15 million, to be honest).
Coolness, though in all honesty (much as I love the Pathfinder minis) I was kinda hoping to see more of their Chronoscape Line, or perhaps even some of their WarLord Pieces (particularly Razig's band; who doesn't like undead pirates?). Oh well they have stretch rewards all the way out to 4.15 mil, here's hoping we get to see them all!!
Or some more townspeople, or animals, or water elementals. If only they can hit loads more goals...

A new update video.
Sounds like you can swap the sophie out for 25 bucks in addons. Which is a fantastic deal, turns your 100 dollar pledge into 125 if you aren't into motorcycle riding succubi.
That means for 100 bucks you can get all of the bones minis and get a huge dracolich. Or a case. Or two other dragons. Or four giants and some other figs. Etc..
And as for September shipping it's Sophie and the Dungeon attack (the 36 already available bones - Non-Golarion Goblins, Kobolds, and Giant Rats), at least according to the Kickstarter pagge.
Really, I read on the kickstarter main page that it was just Sophie and the paints? Where did you see that information? (and thanks)
From the website:
When will stuff ship:
Sophie and Paints will ship next month [September 2012].
Everything else will ship approximately March of next year, 2013.
You can request that everything ships in March of next year when you respond to your backer survey.

Well I couldn't really talk myself into buying 20 extra orcs (looks at the shelf with hundreds of orcs of various makes), but you know, trading 1 succubus for 20 seems a pretty good deal. ;)
*Please stop bending my arm and making me take all these cool looking orcs!*

This is awesome news! I did not want Sophie.
Vampire Pledge Level straight from Kickstarter
Vampire Level = Zombie Level + Ghast Level + Wraith Level + Mummy Level - (Zombie and Wraith Levels will ship in September 2012. The Ghast amd Mummy Levels are expected to ship in March 2013) USA and Canada Free Shipping; all other countries please add $25.00 for shipping.
Est. delivery: Mar 2013
My apologies, I misread it, it would just be Sophie and the paints shipping in September. Zombie is the Forum badge, Ghast is the Dungeon Horde, Wraith is Sophie (as is Ghost, for a 3$ upgrade) and Mummy is the 30 new bones. Everything else ships at the same time in March or so.

It'll be a long wait! I was hoping you were right.
I wouldn't say that I don't want the Sophie, I just would rather have an army of orcs more. ;D

This is a ridiculously good deal. And I will definitely be trading in my Sophie for a Dracolich.
I've never painted minis before, so I'm ordering 3 of the paint sets (36 total bottles). I'm beginning to wonder, though, if that's going to be enough paint for ALL of these miniatures. I added on the Demons and Orcpocalypse sets in addition to my Vampire pledge, plus the dracolich and Pathfinder red dragon.
Can anyone with more painting experience tell me... do I need more paint? Should I maybe order 2 of each paint set instead? Or 3?
I plan on learning the techniques by painting the ones I care the least about first (townsfolk, the Nova team, and most of the future/sci-fi stuff). Then once I've got it figured out, I'll work on the stuff that matters to me. :)

I've only just gotten back into painting miniatures after decades away (just in time for the kickstarter! Must be fate!), and I find that the paints go a really long way. You'll probably be inefficient at first -- I had loads of paint left on my palette after my first batch. But you figure it out quick, especially since it's usually wise to water down your paint a bit. It will also depend on how wide a variety of colors you use; there are a few colors I come back to all the time, so of course they get used up faster. But those kickstarter paints will last you a really long time, and even if they don't last through all 200 (!!!) minis, you probably won't need extras of most colors, and it will be cheaper to buy extras of just the few you use all the time.
Btw, there's loads of great stuff out there on the web to help beginners (like me), and here's a couple I've found particularly helpful:
http://www.how-to-paint-miniatures.com/
http://www.ttcreation.org/modules/articles/index.php?id=1
That second one has its articles in multiple languages, but it's not hard to find the English version.
Hope that helps!

@Fatespinner
need a brush! :) Reaper sell begineer paint sets as well. You can get it from Paizo.
Well yes, the brush was a given. My wife has many paint brushes, so I'm okay on that front. I'm mostly concerned with knowing that I'll have enough paint to do all the miniatures. I can certainly buy more paint if I run out, but at that time they'll be $3.50 per bottle, so I want to maximize my value while I can get them through this Kickstarter at $1.50 instead.
I will almost certainly need an additional bottle or two of the flesh tones...
EDIT: Thanks, Cleanthes! Those will be helpful indeed.

@fatepinner Those paints can last a fair while. I'm only just replacing certain colours that I got a few years ago, and only then really commonly used ones like black... I'd just get the one of each set and then replace paints as you need them. Otherwise you'll end up with spares of colours you don't use often
Something that can go a long way towards improving the longevity of your paints is to use a wet pallete, like this one:http://paizo.com/products/btpy8239?P3-Wet-Palette
Aaaaaaand, the next level is revealed. Swamp things (all new lizard men) and a frigging big hydra!
That hydra is awesome. I really like that! And it seems like nearly double yesterdays pledges so far GMT.
The clarification and Hydra extra should help raise it faster.
Probably the last 2 simultaneous reveals?
This is such a awesome Kickstarter. Sooo much goodness for the money. I will probably end up pledging about 200+ getting extra sets and cases. So amazing.
350 at the time, and probably going to increase even further...

I hear you. I'm at $290 myself, having just added another $20 for Ebonwrath and "Mind Your Manors."
