Wow, it has been three years? Indie companies really seem to get screwed by the factories over there. I think the two smoothest (not without issues) campaigns I supported were Mythic Legions by the Four Horsemen and Spero's AWOK. I am glad to see the other indie companies help and guide FMF through this. It's why Hasbro and others hire people to go to China regularly and stay on their asses about the projects and production, otherwise stuff just gets lost or miscommunicated.

The impression I get from Hell Screamerz facebook posts is that the factories don't take these indie guys seriously. I think that's why they've all decided to band together.

I have been super supportive and lol forward to this line but at this point I don’t even remember what all I got in the KS and am becoming annoyed with all th delays and I supported the retool to correct size. But if I don’t have my figures by at least late June early July I not support another FMF KS and join the growing crew that is asking for refunds. I want to support them but it is getting ridiculous.

I got in on the Adventure People kick too....I think the original delivery was 2016 for those so they are like three years behind schedule. I fear these delays may hamper their future offerings. They were partners, then not, then were, then weren't, then Hell Screamerz dude was taking over then a few days later not....hard to keep track and I hope the projects are on their feet now and we aren't just getting blow because I want to be super into them again.

I went all in on Eagle Force and also supported the Adventure People and Sectaurs lines and even a card set from roughly the same design/production team and shared universe of figures. At various conventions, I've spoken to the organizer and each time he has stated that the figures are on the way soon. Fingers crossed that these do finally reach us this year. A lot of people are going to be reticent about spending money like this again - with me being one.

I dropped over $1K myself on EF, and anxiously await my figures. I buy a lot on MTF KS projects, and if everything pans out on EF, I await their next KS projects. Hopefully once they get it fixed and going, the next go around would be under a year fulfillment.

That first AWOK campaign was insanely smooth. I've become so accustomed to delays in the others that I'd prepped myself to wait a lot longer. I was quite pleasantly surprised, which only led to disappointment now that their second project is falling into the same pattern as has become common to so many others.

They only lucked into that speed, and by being willing to jump ahead in the production line, they scarified quality. The joints are not as tight as they should be and I had to spend more time than I wanted making it so the first figure I opened would stand up his own. I didn't even open the others as I was so disappointed in the quality.

Yeah, Jason admits he got lucky in the timing of other campaigns hitting roadblocks and opening up the field for him to coast through to completion. He also says the knee-looseness issue is regrettable and will be addressed in future releases. IIRC.
If the RIOT Commando I played with is from the same factory that made the AWOKs they show significant learning in the overall 'hand-candyness'. |
