Thought this might be of general interest to some people over here...or not...
Tom Mason, who does a bunch of work for MERCS and other companies is looking to expand on his line of miniatures:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1470153821/effigy-miniatures-havoc-protocol-sci-fi-miniatures/?ref=kicktraq
Needs $5K for initial funding, and there is $1631 in the kiddy already. There are two additional stretch goals which are already in the que for after the initial goal is met.

For the duration of the Kickstarter Campaign, he is offering free worldwide shipping from his existing figures as well (Promo Code: KICKSTARTER).

Now to answer a few of the more common questions...
They will be cast in metal.
They are 32mm in size...whatever that may or may not mean to you based on the companies you frequent. A better answer can be seen here:

Since it is all part of the same line (the pilot figure is removing the same style of helmet as the male trooper above is wearing) they should be comparably sized. Makes them a good fit for a few of the different not-so Grim-dark sci-fi figures out there.
The initial Buy-in levels put it at $30 per squad. Right now, if the goal is met - that squad will be 1 Team Leader, 4 Squaddies and a Drone thing (4 different sculpts)...which to be honest looks a bit wonkie. Should the first stretch goal get met - that will swap out two of the male figures which are duplicates with 2 unique female figures (6 unique sculpts). If the $15K goal is met he will also do up a heavy support figure for a total of 7 unique sculpts and 7 miniatures in a squad for $30. There is also the potential for a recon type figure should we get these first two out of the way:
There is at least one recon specialist in the upcoming stretch goals.
Overseas shipping is $5 for the Kickstarter Pledge Shipments.
You can see some of his past work on his workbench blog:

Think that about covers it.
