YAIRA #1's $1.59M Haul -- Did He Cheat?

Eric July was poised to slide across the YAIRA #1 campaign's finish line with a final total of $1.48M and around 10.5K purchasers. Then, out of nowhere, he drops a McFarlane Toys Yaira Statue into the campaign, boosting his final total to $1.59M and netting himself another 800 purchasers. Was that cheating, or is all fair in crowdfunds and preorders?
