I get that the waiting game is long, boring and demoralising, and I feel that as well, but I remain confident that we'll get the product.
This isn't gonna be a popular opinion, but please also consider that some of the blame falls on us collectors as well. Why in 7 hells you say?!? Well, remember, the developer asked us way back when if we were content with the slightly smaller scale of the EF figures (early production samples had them at 3,75" rather than 4") or if they should retool the whole thing to 4". We as the community voted for the retool, and thus have to accept at least some of the delay is on ourselves. I know this sounds a bit like "there's good people on both sides", but hey, it's my opinion and how I justify at least some of the delay. Anyways, the major thing that EF has going for it that other brands lack or lack somewhat is character and mythos. Eagles Force has established characters and story, the figure designs breath personality. EF just looks and feels like a lived in world, and a very cool one at that. Long story short, I remain hopeful that Eagle Force is going to feel like a substitute to GI Joe, now that our first love has gone the way of the dodo. |

We will get the figures. I have complete confidence of that. The wait makes me sad though.

Update from today:
Here is our monthly update. Manufacturing Not much new to report. The manufacturing factory is still trying to produce the remaining pieces to get to the finishing factory. They are 90% done but still moving very slowly. We got this image this week of the retooled vests and a Riot Trooper test shot. We’re trying to get them to move faster but they are moving at their own pace. We’ve spoke to our new factory about moving the project with the existing pieces but they feel it’s too much of a logistical challenge to take it on. So they recommend we continue to work with the current factory to get the project complete. I’m told I’ll have an update next week, so you’ll have more info as soon as I do. Eagle Force Playsets D&J Toys has finalized the Eagle Force Playsets, so they are prepping those for shipping. See images below. If you ordered a Playset, Glider or Com Station , you’ll be getting an email from Backerkit this week to finalize your address so we get start shipping these items to you. If you don’t get the email and your address has changed please email us at [email protected]

Update as of 8/31/19:
Hey everyone, here is the latest update. The factory missed their deadline of mid August. Our Project Manger visited the factory and they found that not all the parts were manufactured, so they urged the factory to prioritize getting the rest of the parts produced. As of this week, according to the factory they are 90% done with manufacturing. See production images of the jacket. They are telling us they will have production samples for us in 2 weeks. Chris and his team (our project managers) are getting very frustrated with this factory and making plans to move production to their factory if the current factory can’t deliver on this next milestone. I know this is beyond frustrating, it is for us as well. We all have invested time and money to see this figure produced and it’s obvious that the current factory cannot deliver as they promised. So we are doing what we can to remedy that. As things progress we’ll keep everyone updated. Also I see the the comments section is getting heated with negative comments. It’s okay to voice your frustration, and even your opinion, but please keep it civil. I’ve already had to report a few folks for crossing a line in the comments. Thanks FMF

Oh good grief! This is also eagle force too!
Is there a way to just get our money back at this point. This is beyond ridiculous. |

Same here. I won’t even look at another Kickstarter because of this nonsense.

If Eagle Island is about to ship, I'm guessing a refund would be a bit difficult for us All-In backers. Fine. I will hold out hope.
