There's no special vehicles like the joe brand.

Almost there!
The character designs are wonderful and the figures look great. The delays never really bothered me to be honest, as any issues were transparent with good communication. The figures that really caught my eye in the kickstarter were the Thunder Unit. At risk of broken record nitpicking, I’m still hoping for a nice even camouflage application like the promo pic. The factory paint samples on the update seem to suggest the factory are still following a very basic brush stroke pattern as before, which doesn’t look as good as the promo if I’m being honest. Just wondering if this is something being addressed? Not trying to be overly negative here, just curious, and really appreciate the hard work you guys are doing.

Bill, I am so happy to see an entrepreneur take on 1:18 military adventure. You make it and military fans like myself will buy! I have been sharing the Kickstarter updates on alternative social media sites and the response is very positive! You have a willing consumer base out here!

I missed out the chance to be part of this kickstarter but I have a bunch of figures on preorder at BBTS. It'd be nice for production to get to a place where we could get these on the regular like Boss Fight or Marauders.

Nope not negative at all, but a great question. Sadly the factory cannot follow the camo pattern from the mock up on the Kickstarter. We've asked them to try to match it as close as possible but they are unable to achieve this look, even though originally they promised us they could. At this point it's one of the many compromises we are making so we can get the figures complete and out to the backers.

Well, maybe the camo work isn't quite up to the original target, but it's definitely not bad. If future waves can get the camo improved, then great, but the current state is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, everything looks great so far, and it's thrilling to finally see these in a nearly-completed state. Glad to hear Zica is on track as well; they've had it pretty rough too.

Is it just me, or does the modern kayo look like Larry Hama, or did I just miss something?

Man I would love to have these before August, not getting my hopes up again though. I am a teacher and summertime is my “Joe playing time” aka destressing decompress time. My Joeverse has been on some serious hold time because of these. Still looking forward to getting them and moving on to wave two and the monster force stuff too!
