Got this email today:
Hey everyone! I wanted to give you an update. We're in the middle of the tooling process at the factory. Here are some images. For those of you who backed our Eagle Force Kickstarter you've seen these as we are tooling all the parts at once. I hope to have factory samples by the end of July so we'll be sure to share those as soon as we have them. We're planning on locking down the Backer Kit on July 15th, so if you have not completed your Backer Kit survey please do so. We still have 27 folks that need to complete their survey. You should have gotten an update from Backer Kit earlier today with a reminder. If you want to ADD ON additional items to your order now is the time. Please do so before July 15th. You do not need to finalized your address, but we do need your final order as we need to place the official order with the factory. If you added ADD ONs to your order you'll be charged around July 15th. If you are unclear or have any questions please reach out to me via Kickstarter (not Facebook or email) and I'll get back to you asap. Thanks everyone! Bill and Craig

Ouch but... you now how this goes.
Awww hell - addressed elsewhere with 2 threads on this topic - sorry bout that gents - tried to see if it had been posted. 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. Last edited by MB Ferret; 10-21-2018 at 10:04 AM..

Latest update (didn't realize there were 2 threads):
Hey everyone! I finally have an image of a paint sample from the factory. I'm been pressuring them daily to get me something, so that's why it's not assembled, This is ONLY a color sample to approve colors and paint masks. This it NOT how the figure will be manufactured. The factory painted on top of a black/blue molded test shot, so I could approve colors and paint masks only. Overall we're looking pretty good. Better than the Eagle Force figures that are running at the same time at the factory. I will be making some overall color notes and adjusting some paint masks, like where the collar meets the neck, but overall I'm liking what I'm seeing. Usually the eyes of WAY off on the initial paint samples and these look pretty good, so we're off to a good start. The factory wants to deliver these to me before Chinese New Year in Feb, but given the delays I'm guessing it'll be after that in March. Thanks for hanging with us. We gotten a few Eagle Force test shots, which also use this body, out to a few backer of that campaign. They seem pretty happy with the quality, so I think once we nail down the paint we'll have a figure that'll make Larry proud. I'll keep you posted as we dial in the paint. Enjoy your holidays. FMF

I’m not sure who wrote the latest update, but their command of English is nearly as poor their contact in China. I got a headache just trying to read it.
Good news is that we may have figures this decade. “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” |

It may be time to shop wave 2 in Vietnam. Maybe even one of those factories wanting your business will front the costs of transferring all the previous tooling and molds. China looks to be more and more toxic each day for doing business
