[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 443087, member: 2"] About half way through. It's a shame JPs kickstarter didn't meet its goal but the reason I personally didn't back it is because I just don't see how it would work. I need convincing that it is possible to create one or several types that can cater for every single bubble style between them, and I just don't think it's possible. He mentioned trilogo being an easy one but IMO that will be one of the hardest to do, when was the last time you saw a straight trilogo bubble? They're almost always dented and deformed. Also this is slightly controversial but I personally don't think supporting the bubble is enough. Yes it looks good when people wrap cardboard around a bubble, but does it actually stop them cracking? In my opinion no. The only thing that prevents a bubble cracking is something to absorb the shock like an elastic band around it. Cardboard might stop the figure poking his head out, but it won't stop the crack. JP did mention shock absorbing but I don't see how anything solid like foam can do that. I would highly recommend they explore the elastic route. I will 100% back it in future if I see a prototype that solves the problem. For me crowd funding needs to be more than a vague idea. [/QUOTE]
