Gurkha 2183 style - SG2 figs?

Hello all

Nic at Eureka has this wonderful thing called the 100 club. A number of us
here think the Gurkhas of 2183 would make a wonderful figure set/line.
However, wisely Nic requests that we authorize at least 100 to get a
worthwhile initial purchase. This gets you 4 poses.

Well, in order to form a useful platoon, I'd guess 8 poses are needed, so I'd
say we need to be able to put together enough interest to authorize 200
figures.

Myself and a few friends here in Canada can gaurantee we'll take 100-110
figures (minimum) if we can get the order for 200 to authorize 8 poses be
produced. What I'm looking for now is people willing to "put their money
where their mouth is" and order about 80-90 of these figures. This has
to be sight unseen, but if you've seen other OU and similar GZG figures, you
know the quality you are dealing with.

My idea for Gurkhas would involve
- tropical fighting order
- some webgear
- Gurkha broad-brimmed hats
- NAC ARs or a home-brew AR
- kukris

Since we'd have eight poses, I'd campaign for: 1) A figure standing firing
from the hip 2) A figure standing firing from the shoulder 3) A figure
advancing with rifle 4) A figure holding rifle in one hand pointed up and
pointing with the other
(squad leader/sgt)
5) A figure firing a SAW from the hip 6) An alternate standing advancing with
rifle pose 7) A figure with an IPG (I figure historically Gurkhas have always
been fond of things that make things go boom!) 8) A figure advancing in a
crouch with rifle in one hand and drawn kurkri in the other

I have access to some good resources from which the facial features, uniforms,
etc can be drawn from to aide the sculptor.

So, in order to make this happen, I need the warm fuzzy feeling that if I say
to Nic "go ahead and cut 200 of these fellows", I don't get stuck with 120
myself. So anyone willing to take a squad or much better a platoon, get in
touch with me. Once I figure we have 200 figures worth and I'm fairly
confident everyone will go ahead with this, I'll give Nic my credit card and
say "Go Mate!".

My email is in my sig. Let me here from you if you're interested and ready to
drop the cash today.
