A big set of cardboard heroes on heavy cardstock designed to go with bases is something that I would be interested in, and would definitely consider backing on Kickstarter.

(Esp. if we also get PDFs, for selecting additional individual ones to print out and do the work on ourself. Of course, I already have a PDF of the old Cardboard Heroes, so that is really already covered.)

Yes, especially if there were PDFs.

Count me in too. These are sturdy. The lure of cheap, tough minis is strong. Let me put it all this way: I own the Pathfinder Bestiary Box, which is pretty much thick Cardboard Heroes for Pathfinder. I own no other Pathfinder products.

This could be a gateway product for the DFRPG, too. Have a set of Cardboard Heroes for all the monsters in the boxed set. Make a second Companion and have 48 pages for more monsters; I figure that's about another 75 monsters. Have half be classics and the second half be DFRPG-/GURPS Dungeon Fantasy-specific. Make a Cardboard Heroes set for Companion 2 as well. The classics would lure in new players, and the new ones would work as advertising for the DFRPG.

I already answered this elsewhere, but in case others didn't see it I'm going to answer it here. I like the idea of more Cardboard Heroes, but not if they are just a reprint of the existing Cardboard Heroes in cardstock cutout format. I already have both big sets of existing CH (Fantasy & Modern), plus a number of additional sheets (from the various GURPS Traveller sets, the Horror GM Screen, and a couple other places), so just recycling the old artwork doesn't really get me interested.

OTOH, having some value-added content, such as some new CH, or a DFRPG Bestiary with matching figures, or possibly some other idea for value-added content that hasn't been floated yet - that would be enough to grab my attention.

Not sure how much a Gateway product it would be but I do see it as a way to get physical product on store shelves. But to move they need to look really good and hit a mix of generic (useful for different games) and original neat stuff.

I wonder how much more expensive it would be to print on a transparent plastic (so it's just as sturdy as rectangle-shaped card-stock, but without the white frame). I know printing white is not so common, but maybe affordable on large enough scale?

Arcknight makes a product exactly like that. They look quite nice, and are not crazy expensive but are likely considerably more expensive than printing on cardstock. (62-piece sets sell for $30; a 310 bundle set sells for $120).

I really would like figures for all the monsters in the set, not just the adventure, and figures for the pregens in Delvers to Go would be nice as well. I would probably back this if it is within my budget.

I'd be interested in a printed kickstarter for this.

I'd back this as well. I'd actually like multiple figures for the monsters in the base set.
