Just got him in the mail yesterday and it's a honey! A black clad, gun-toting honey of a figure. Be sure to catch one if you haven't yet. He's an indicator of how the final line is gonna look, and it's a good look.
Also, I got the metal cards for the campaigns in and will send Kickstarters off (FINALLY!) this weekend! C

He's standing next to my modern RAH Snake-Eyes and looks really good next to him. These figures are gonna rock!

Update:
Hey everyone The factory has finally sent me images of the initial paint samples of some of the figures...needless to say they need A LOT of work. Below are a few images. Please be aware these are not production samples, these are 1st pass paint samples. These figures are painted by the factory to get final approval before we go into mass production. These are nowhere near final and have many issues that we'll need to resolve, such as the use of glossy paint, mis-matched paint, incomplete or incorrect colors, etc... I was very hesitant to show any of these images, but this is part of the process and I wanted to Illustrate why these things take so long. Our current factory, although capable of producing figures, like Spero's Animal Warrior of the Kingdom line, seem to be more challenged on every level with Eagle Force. I'll be spending the next month or so course correcting the factory to revise these samples. I'm still confident we can get these done to the quality our fans expect, but it will take time to get it right. I've heard feedback from a few of you who purchased the R.I.O.T. Commando test shot and are very happy with the quality of the construction of the figure. So once we nail down the paint I believe we'll have some great figures. Thanks again FMF

Glossy flesh, yes—but paint apps looked crisp, great eyes. Looking forward to these, but reading between the lines, it seemed like he was suggesting an indefinite delay.
Bill? Still 1st/2nd Q 2019?

Yup! Even though they may not have been "to spec", they looked very good overall.

Yep, I think it'll be Q2, but the factory wants Q1. I think they just want to be done so I have to get them to not half-ass it cause they want to be delivered by Chinese New Year.

Yep, I am sure they want to get it to you before Chinese new year because they will want to get paid. Many of the workers over there get paid once a year right before Chinese New Year, live on site, etc. We deal with that in our industry hydraulics, and they are relentless about wanting their money right before that holiday.

I'm still so stoked about these finally arriving. It's been so long but we're almost there. To quote the Dark Tower: "This is not the beginning's end, but the end of the beginning." Series one is just the warm up.
