Disappointed. And again I ask, would there have been a two year delay without the new tooling? Can we still call it a delay when nothing has been produced? If this factory is so bad, then why did Animal Warriors of the Kingdom deliver early using the same manufacturer?

I "think" AWOK got bumped up the chain when Eagle Force decided to redo their tooling. Which I endorse and support the redo of the tooling, just disappointed they weren't right to start and disappointed with the lack of caring. Maybe I misinterpret that since I am dejected. I hope so.

Of the 12 Action Figure Kickstarters I currently have outstanding, Amazing Heroes and Eagle Force are the oldest. It does look like 2 of my pledges will deliver this year, Zombies and the MTF one with Dogs.
I love to see the 1/18th love, but I can't keep putting up money without delivery of prior commitments. |

I'm not personally seeing a lack of concern from FM. Factory delays don't really leave much to talk about, since the ball is more or less out of their court during that time. I don't think lots of updates saying "yep, still waiting, nothing to see here" would really make things better. They've got a lot riding on the success of this launch, in terms of both finances and reputation, so I'm sure they're plenty concerned, regardless of whether they have much to show for it.

I've been swamped with the new semester and getting WAR out, and also gearing up for the fifth EF Pulp launch tomorrow. I can't speak for Bill directly, as I more or less work on the Eagle Force stories and not on the toys themselves, but I personally know he wants nothing less than the best action figures possible. It's safe to say you're not the only ones waiting to get these babies in hand! Let me share a story with you from one of my non-Eagle Force campaigns: I had everything print-ready for the campaign by the time the KS funds came in. The vendor I used for finishing actually went AWOL for a few months, in between promises of delivering the final product while literally sitting on the entire print run. Not only was I freaking out on my end, because I'd put a ton of hard work into the product, but I was also more frustrated on how it would look to my backers. In that situation, I did everything I could to notify everyone about the delay; things eventually worked out, the product came out AMAZING, and backers were happy. But, man, that one final link in the chain put me in a really tough spot as a publisher and Kickstarter. There were times where ALL I could do was communicate to let them know I wasn't giving up on the final product. What I can also speak to is that I still believe in these figures and in FMF's ability to make them happen and happen beautifully, when they do. Otherwise, I wouldn't keep cranking out novellas and trading cards, nor would I have any intention of stopping. So, while I can't speak to the factory situation, I can speak to the fact that I plan on building my corner of the Eagle Force Universe for a long time and still have my corner in my office reserved for the ginormous wave of figures when they do make it in. Best, Chris |
