And now for the weather.
There will be light outbreaks of frotherPest pretending to be Tony Reidy, followed by the usual wet shower.

Haven't really kept track of this latest "hard suit" kickstarter, but just looked in on it and the last update says they are now going to injection mould them? Won't that cost tens of thousands of dollars and take many months to accomplish? Where will they get the money and how will they fulfill the kickstarter pledges?

It's Defiance Games.

They are not going to produce anything, so you shouldn't worry.

Blaming the Chinese for Tony's inability to run a simple business worked once, so why not try the same excuse with this company too?

There is an interesting possibility for a figure range here

Tony - clearly the hero
Evil Chinese Mastermind who thwarts his attempts
Mr Whitehouse - Sidekick who turns on the hero in the sequel
Frothers - duped effete Brits in the pay of Evil Chinese
Man Boobs - Tonys loyal sidekick
Rednecks - Tonys foot troops - wallets in left hand, flag in right

I'm sure this will sell, or maybe it would work as a kickstarter?

it appears anything works as a kickstarter - the key is to take the money and run away without making the product.

It seems they can't afford to pay for their server anymore. 8)
Access to their homepage is forbidden and there are messages "disappearing" from their Facebook account, too.
