And by &#8220;Fun&#8221;, I mean fun for me. I love numbers. Plus, it&#8217;s SDCC Week and that means a whole host of checklist updates will need done and I don&#8217;t really have a lot of time for reviews as such. What I do have time for though is let all those numbers that swirl around in my head* all day bleed out onto the page! <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=right src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/2013\/fourh\/ravenks.jpg?w=640\" hspace=\"4\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><em>* &#8211; It&#8217;s pathetic, really. My friends shout out ridiculous multiplication and division just to see if I can beat their calculator &#8211; luckily, they type slow.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So last night after 72 hours of Kickstarter goodness &#8211; and my goodness, it&#8217;s already reached 95% the goal in 72 hours &#8211; I took down the current numbers and crunched them into some fun statistics (and not to mention market research for the 4H!). All these numbers are as of 11pm CST on Sunday, July 14th:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As previously mentioned the Kickstarter hit 95% of its goal in just three days. <em>Can you say Bone Wings?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>2.6% of the pledged amount comes from non-figure pledges (stickers, t-shirts, and $1 Thank yous).<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>90% of which comes from the 6 backers who opted to be &#8220;Interns for Day&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>0.25% of the pledged amount comes from the Busts &#038; 2-Ups that were offered. Not much love for the one-of-a-kind pieces?<\/li>\n<li>23.8% of the pledges are for international packages while 73.3% are from domestic packages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25% of the backers purchased a 6pk, contributing to 53% of the total pledged amount.<\/li>\n<li>27% of the backers purchased a 2pk bundle, contributing to 21% of the total pledged amount.<\/li>\n<li>18% of the backer purchased a single figure, contributing to 12% of the total pledged amount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" align=right src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/2013\/fourh\/duckks.jpg?w=640\" hspace=\"4\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Of the 2pk purchases:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>3% purchased a set including two Ravens.<\/li>\n<li>4% purchased a set including the Griffin.<\/li>\n<li>13% purchased a set including the Falcon.<\/li>\n<li>16% purchased a set including the Vulture.<\/li>\n<li>18% purchased a set including the Cardinal.<\/li>\n<li>45% purchased a set including Minotaur the Duck.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Of the single purchases:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>35% purchased the Raven.<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>45% of those backers selected the regular Raven<\/li>\n<li>55% selected the Ultimate Raven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>4% purchased the Griffin.<\/li>\n<li>9% purchased the Vulture.<\/li>\n<li>10% purchased the Falcon.<\/li>\n<li>12% purchased the Cardinal.<\/li>\n<li>31% purchased Minotaur the Duck.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Out of the 1432 figures pledged so far:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>26% are the Ultimate Raven.<\/li>\n<li>3% are the regular Raven.<\/li>\n<li>5% are Scarabus.<\/li>\n<li>5% are a Timekeeper.<\/li>\n<li>9% are the Griffon.<\/li>\n<li>11% are the Falcon.<\/li>\n<li>12% are the Vulture.<\/li>\n<li>12% are the Cardinal.<\/li>\n<li>16% are Minotaur the Duck.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=left src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/2013\/fourh\/ravenks1.jpg?w=640\" hspace=\"4\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">So, what does that tell us? Well, first of all the Four Horsemen are on pace to add a very successful Kickstarter to their already packed resumes. But it could also tell us a bit about our buying habits. <\/p>\n<p>While the &#8220;Ultimate&#8221; Raven (which includes the alternate head, helmet, and saber) is outselling the regular version overall, that&#8217;s largely because it is the version included with all the 2pk &#038; 6pk bundles. In terms of singles, the Ultimate Raven is narrowly edging out his less-equipped counterpart. Are some collectors willing to skip on extra pieces (they go in a box anyway, right?) to save a few dollars? Are collectors on a budget or those that are not interested beyond the Raven less likely to want to the extra pieces? I found that interesting either way. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=right src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/newsimages\/2013\/fourh\/grifks.jpg?w=640\" hspace=\"4\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">When it comes to which figure is selling the best after the Raven, it&#8217;s clear that Minotaur the Duck is the easy winner. While the Raven is approaching 400 units, Minotaur is the only other figure to already break into the 200s. It might seem illogical, particularly considering I&#8217;d heard that the 4H  might not include Minotaur in the offering, but the Duck is a surefire hit and on pace to be one of the more collectible pieces alongside the Royal Guardsman (Dairy Cow), Chalice of Guudenuph (Pink Elephant), &#038; Bikini Alluxundra (speaking of, I never did get Bikini Alluxundra, damn!). Four Horsemen fans just seem to love the fun stuff. <\/p>\n<p>On the flipside is the Griffin. While the Cardinal, Vulture, &#038; Falcon are all hovering near each other in the overall rankings, the Griffin is selling just a tad less and in last place out of the six. I, myself, might prefer a standard eagle in his spot, but I think the figure is one of the cooler ones &#8211; and has one of the best armor decos. There&#8217;s still a whole month to go though, so let&#8217;s hope he can catch up and join the pack&#8230; er, the flock?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, while I was compiling these numbers, five more people backed the project and pushed it to 97%!  I think it&#8217;s officially time to start talking about those stretch goals, don&#8217;t you? <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:175%\"><strong>For more details or to sign up, continue to
