Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures Partnership

Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures Partnership

Thursday, July 25, 2019

Three flaming skeletons with mouths open wide attacking a 4-armed, bipedal alien with grey skin and an angular face and dark pits for eyes. The alien's upper left arm is wielding some sort of yellow energy bolt. The silhouette of another adventurer looking on in horror can be seen in the foreground.

We have some really good news to share about the Starfinder Masterclass miniatures Kickstarter! Paizo is pleased to announce that Archon Studio will be taking over the license to produce Starfinder Masterclass miniatures, formerly produced by Ninja Division. As part of the agreement, Archon will fulfill backer rewards from the Starfinder Masterclass Kickstarter.

About Archon Studio: With their Unicast technology, Archon Studio has published several board games with miniatures, including League of Ancient Defenders, Vanguard of War, and Chronicle X. Recently, Archon Studio advanced its technology to hard plastic, which resulted in even more highly detailed miniatures.

Archon Studio also recently moved into the production of tabletop terrain with Rampart Wargaming. In August this year, its second tabletop terrain project, Dungeons & Lasers, is being launched on Kickstarter.

There are a few areas we want to highlight:

Archon Studio will be producing plastic miniatures instead of resin. They will also be starting over with Kickstarter fulfillment; this means that backers who have already received resin miniatures from Ninja Division will receive those minis again from Archon, this time in plastic.

Archon Studio plans to ship Kickstarter rewards in waves. Approximately every 6 months, the pledge rewards produced during the previous 6 months will be shipped to backers free of charge. Additionally, any time a Kickstarter backer purchases any Starfinder mini from Archon Studio—whether that’s a new mini or a duplicate of a Kickstarter mini—they will also ship any released Kickstarter miniatures due to that backer for no additional charge. Details of which minis are shipping when, and how to purchase other miniatures, will be posted on the Kickstarter page.

Archon Studio will be fulfilling backers in Europe, and Ninja Division will be shipping to the rest of the world. Paizo does not have specific answers to fulfillment questions: if you’re a backer with a question about your order, you’ll need to post the question to the Starfinder Masterclass Kickstarter page.

Thanks for all of your patience as we worked with Ninja Division and Archon to get this done. We’re looking forward to some epic minis!

I got a canned response of "not our problem" from Paizo, to which I asked "can you confirm you have my payment?" Then my post in the prior thread was followed by:

We've investigated on the Paizo side and found some instances where an order was not properly routed to Archon and are correcting those now. We've also found a few orders that have been sent to Archon but have not yet been processed, and we've contacted Archon to sort those out.

If you haven't seen any movement in the next week, please contact customer.service@paizo.com and open a ticket so we can track it down.

So a least things are moving despite a communication level throughout that would certainly have had most of us fired.

On the plus side archon got back to me within one day and confirmed they have it, just shipping in between their other campaigns.

Send Archon a rountuit. :-)

I have yet to receive mine.


I'm on almost 3 months since it was "shipped" with nothing to show for it but more holes in my wallet


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Got a batch of minies from Archon. :)
Thanks to Paizo and Archon for continuing to work on it.
I now have begun wanting to play Starfinder again. A game I really loved. So thanks. :)

@Ghost725: there are relatively few horror stories on here about folks not getting their stuff (as opposed to not getting it quickly), but it does happen. What happened to me, for example, is that Paizo shipped some stuff via the post office, and the tracking eventually said the package had been delivered — four states away from me. So I got in touch with Paizo, and they said "we'll send you a new shipment". That was on a Tuesday. The following Friday, I got an email at 11 AM saying the new shipment was about to be shipped. At 1130 the post office delivered the original shipment to me. Contacted Paizo to try to shortstop the replacement, but it was too late. They told me "when you get it, just take it to the post office and send it back". So I did. No, I didn't have to pay return shipping.

Point is: Paizo was very receptive to the problem and fixed it pretty quickly. OTOH they may have had more people in CS back then. I would think if you email CS and tell 'em how long it's been they'll do for you what they did for me.

Of course, if the problem isn't Paizo, but Archon, well, I don't know Archon. :-)


Well I hope I'm not the only one who got a box...stuff with just spruce trees and a zip lock back with build book....no face box per mini...just here you go . You sort it out


still nothing


Got a box of minis (big thank you to Archon!). The details on the minis are nice. Haven't begun to clip and assemble; motivation for Starfinder is lacking. Still, when I have some free time, maybe putting a few together will rekindle some of those old feelings.


Hi,

I backed the original KS but have since changed my email address. I submitted a ticket with Archon multiple times since they took over the project. These include my old email and my KS backer number. The most recent ticket I created was 05Jan2023. Is there any way more reliable to get in contact with them? Now that they are finally shipping out to the old backers I would love to get my hands on some of these minis!

Dataphiles

No. Archon contact has been fairly awful. I opened 3 support cases and did their "change address" thing four times, only for it to still be sent to my old address.


Has anyone heard anything recently about the status of this project? I will say that as a full backer (in the USA) I have received all of the mini's I see on the Paizo website. This includes original single figure boxes as well as the most recent batch of minis packaged in bulk on large sprues in several plastic bags. Figures look nice, but are any more in the works and what would be the timing?

Thanks.

Nope, nothing in a while. I come back and check from time to time but nothing in a long time.

Dataphiles

Yeah.... nearly been a year since they announced they were actually shipping some of the minis and no news since about if the rest of the minis are ever going to exist.

Im a full backer and I never got my minis or a response to any of my posts or emails.

Dataphiles

With Starfinder 2 being announced, is there any more news about if what we got is everything we're going to or are we still getting Waves 2 and 3 for the others?

On similar notes, I have realized that one of the models only came with one when it was supposed to be a pack with three skittermanders and two Skittermander Whelps (although I apreciate the Skittermander Whelps weren't ready
