I have a project on the go right now. We are making a line of 28mm sci-fi miniatures. I was just wondering what was an acceptable schedule for new releases? How many new figures should I be aiming to bring out on a monthly basis?

How many new figures should I be aiming to bring out on a monthly basis?

Entirely depends on the size of your production fcaility.

It's a kind of Weberian weighted model.

Three main factors;

- How long to scuplt a figure right.

- How soon you need the revenue from the figure you've expended capital on creating.

- How much money will this cost your core consumer each month?

Just go as fast as you can while keeping quality high.

Enough to complete a unit, maybe. If I can buy all the figures for an marine infantry platoon, it will convince me you are serious. Maybe next month, I can add the heavy weapons platoon as you bring them out, and the month after that, your brand new jungle fighter platoon can be added.

In my experience release it all at once, so if they do not sell at all you can know right away to stop.

This is all good advice. Thanks for the information.

Grelber, that's what I was thinking. Keeping enough useful stuff coming out on a regular basis.
