Considering they're not doing Early Access and wont release until the game is done...

Probably.

I need a nova plushie (but I guess making an urbie is more realistical to sell, or a TBR/atlas)

An Urbanmech plushie would be nice, but what about an Awesome?

What?


HBS beta on Dec 21st. Looking forward to some new standing models from HBS. And since they are working with PGI I am guessing we will see some of that badass art as standing mechs! I am hoooooooooooping for 1/60 scale!

A very detailed Founders Atlas, that has just returned from a small skirmish (battle damaged) and 8" tall for my PC Desk. Have cash in advance. lol

Something like this perhaps (but 8" tall and showing battle damage).

I loved all the HBS merchandise ... but I didn't back to the level required because I just could never imagine myself having anywhere that I could actually wear it without looking like some ridiculous old guy

However, if they offer figurines and models... my wallet will be open.

I was that ridiculous old guy at MCM London in October, wore the hat on the Tube.

Not a solitary glance.

Which isn't that surprising when your surrounded by three Jokers, two Spidermen, four Darth Vaders, and a hot twenty something, almost falling out her Harley Quinn corset

Well, Winter starts December 21st so it’s time to spill some (limited) info. [...] we won’t be able to give you a firmer date for the Backer Beta, but we can tell you that it’s targeted to begin sometime in the late January - early March timeframe

This is after multiple years of PGI saying can't be done.

With the license so split as it is, it probably wasn't as easy for pgi to go to Topps for the merch rights, as their license is with MS for MW rather than BT. And I'm sure it helps when the original creator of the IP is coming back to get back in the saddle of BT.

If only it could be table top mini's based on MWO's designs. I would buy hordes of them but sadly that is Ironwind Metals gig.

Yah, if we're being fair... Jordan Weisman, one of the founders of HBS, has created and sold multiple companies. One of those companies was a little outfit know as WizKids. Which he sold to... wait for it...

Topps.

I think it's safe to assume he knows some people over there.

[MechaBattler]

What I would really love to see is model kits. That would be cool and fun.

HBS licensing is with Microsoft as well. Microsoft own all rights to Battletech/Mechwarrior computer IP (From buying FASA interactive). Russ commented on twitter (a year or so ago) that HBS has the same licensing agreement that had the same license as HBS when it came to merchandise. PGI could have "given" away merchandise with MechPacks if they wanted to or in the founders program, they just (until now) could not sell any Battletech related Merchandise directly.

[JC Daxion]

very cool.. It is nice to see 2 companies working together to give us 2 completely difference kind of games. Nice to see some Merch coming too!


that said, i picked up HBS's game Shadow run for 3 bucks a few weeks back, figured i would check out some of there previous stuff.. Cyberpunk strategy RPG sounded kinda cool. reminded me a lot of wasteland 2 from screenies

Statues of Locust, Blackjack,and Mist Lynx. Unpainted. Perhaps with modular pieces so we can make them look like our in-game variants.

If they offer the Rifleman....that's going to be a hard one to say no to. Or the Jester. That'll open my purse for sure.
