Update as of today:
Hey Everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates, but sadly I don't have anything new to report. The factory has had the paint masters for months, but has yet to get me paint samples. They tell me they'll have something to me by early November to review so we can go into production. At this rate I I would expect fulfillment until early Q2 2019. I know this it not the news anyone wants to hear, including myself, but this is where we are at. This factory has delivered on 2 other projects for independent toy creators, but I can't seem to get them to move faster on this one. As soon as I know more I'll of course let everyone know. Thanks FMF

The most recent update was on 7/25/19:
Hey Everyone I wanted to provide a quick update. We got some images of the factory of the printed the card backs....I hope to have these in person soon. This was the mail on got from them last week the day before they were suppose to have product samples ready to show our Factory rep. I have not shared any direct factory correspondence with backers, but at this point you need to know what we are dealing with. I'm happy to share more of these as we get them in...so let me know in the comments if you want to see them. Morning Bill, sorry that as recently inspection is frequent, the mass production painting work is affected, and now the full mass painting is on the way just. And the production samples can’t be done for the coming days. I am embarrassed for you, and the mass production will have to be fully done next month end. Now the full cards are 100% finished today. The clamshell is in halfway yet. Recently another reason is I am lack of fund for my factory regular turnover arrange, as I gave out too much private money to those a$$hole officers for factory relationships I am suffering heavy stress from this year, I am worried dates after dates not comes as planned would make my factory in tense, but I can’t understand your stress more however. The local officials frequently come to inspect, I loss much fund, and facing customers asking like you, I feel high responsible and feel exhausted, for these things to you all, I have no right to have complaint, and it’s not that, I just want you can know I am here and doing my factory efforts. And because also of these bad inspections this year. Based on the current processing considering some factors, I would say middle(10th-20th) of August, the production painting of both EF and Hama can be finished. So it looks they are pushing our production yet again until next month this time because of government factory inspections. We don't know if that is even true. Our Project Mgr is going to the factory next Wednesday to try to speak to them to accellerate production as they had told us we'd be in production in early July. They continue to be unable to deliver on their scheduled delivery timeline. We do know they have produced(but not delivered) Spero's Animal Warriors of the Kingdom Wave 2 figures and our figures should be up next. We are basically at the whim of the factory at this point. Being held hostage is not over exaggerating the issue. We have paid them to start production (which was last year) so we cannot pull out of the factory, we have to wait on them to get us into the production line. I am still confident that they will get us product but on their timeline not ours. We do have boots on the ground to insure that when we get in the production queue that our quality standards are met so they will deliver us the quality we expect. I'll send more updates as we have them. Thanks FMF

Like I said earlier, they may want to shop wave 2 of EF to Vietnam's factories.

Are they using the same factory as MGR? I’m curious to how MGR has had 2-3 kickstarters delivered in the time that EF has had zero. :(

EF wave 2 I believe will be using the same molds so I doubt moving them out of the country will be a option.

I’m okay playing the long game and I do like the designs of the figures, but my enthusiasm for this product has waned during the subsequent years. Waiting is fine, but there is something to be said for having things “in hand”. I don’t want to wait a decade for two waves of EF figures.

Just looked back at the first post. It was 11/19/2016. Nearly 3 years ago. Let that sink in.
