Oh sweet! Hadn't seen this update. Thought for sure the idea was scrapped after all this time. 3 points to EF for the follow through! Makes me even more excited to hold the final product.

It is confusing, as from what I remember Zica and Fresh Monkey Fiction where working on this line together, and then split off? Zica kept the original molds and some of them were used for Action People or Adventure Force with Captain Action, and the newer molds that were upsized were kept by Fresh Monkey to make Eagle Force. Then Zica recently started showing some molds/mock ups for o-ring Eagle Force, but also alluded to them using some names and figures in a new line, seeming to imply it isn't just Eagle Force, but maybe it is. Not sure why this makes sense to have two Eagle Force lines, right now I like the EF Returns 4" modern.

The company after some delays already went to a factory that had produced some small figure lines already - so somewhat of a proven track record. The new factory basically just stopped working and Fresh Monkey couldn’t get their molds, tooling, figures or anything from them for what seemed like a couple of years. Pretty sure some other lines got caught up in this. Maybe Zica and Animal Warriors of the Kingdom? A well known producer of knock off oring Joes even hinted that he had been affected - by the same factory or a similar situation it wasn’t clear. Finally with the help of some guy named Chris (who would go one to launch the successful Space Force Kickstarter and not launch the failed Presidents Kickstarter) Fresh Monkey got all their stuff to a new factory and that’s when we got the Larry Hama figure and all of the recent in the last 8 months or so good updates. That is pieced together from Facebook and several threads here. I have no insider info and someone could easily tell me I’m wrong.

Not sure if I missed this or not, but the Animal Warriors of the Kingdom company is planning a new line that uses some Eagle Force parts.

Without going too deep in it, the molds were basically held hostage for a long stretch by the contracted factory. Said factory made excuse after excuse for unmet deadlines, turned in the barest of product updates--most of which was sloppy and subpar--didn't listen to instructions, and refused to return the molds after the creator had enough of the BS. Enough of the tooling was eventually recovered, but they basically had to start over and upsize to 4" since the factory had them at true 3.75. In short was a total cluster at the first location and the head in China a total dickhole who almost single handedly wrecked the entire project and the FMF business for his own selfish gain and laziness.

Hey Everyone, happy Sunday to you all!
Anyone interested in an Eagle Mountain playset, with 2 gliders and 2 radar stations? I'll throw in the Stealth Pilot once its received. I paid $340 shipped for everything (playset, stations, vehicles, stickers, et al). If there's interest, I'll snap some pics. Willing to entertain offers, but please, be fair.
