The latest update says they are pushing back the release date to "late this year." They also showed digital renders of the sailor and WWII Airborne Trooper.

Definitely a bummer, but not surprised. This is a huge project. Fortunately, I trust Marauder completely and trust it will be worth the wait.

The update also mentioned:
"To help make some amends, we are also working to include a bonus (or bonuses) to each shipment when the Marauder Task Force Vietnam reward packages do ship."

Plus, I love how MJ compensates the delay by throwing in some extra goodies! Jason |

As mentioned, MJ also dropped 3D model/drawings of the WW2 US Airborne and Vietnam Navy Sailor.
The WW2 US Airborne figure looks amazing! If the hard copy looks anywhere close to the 3D model, then this will be my new favorite WW2 figure. The leg straps over the pockets are super cool. The colors of the 3D model are less olive drab than the 2D drawings. The actual, real-life uniform is somewhere between khaki and light green. So, hopefully the actual action figure is even lighter than the green in the 3D model. Either way, this is looking to be a good torso for a custom Duke. A little detail I didn't notice in the 2D drawings is that the bottom jacket pockets are like two-toned with light green pockets over dark green patches. I wonder if the figure will have the dark green elbow patches as well? The Navy Sailor looks good as well. This will fill in a lot of USS Flagg dioramas I'm sure. I guess I overlooked the thigh pockets on the 2D drawings. A couple of notable differences in the 3D digital model and 2D drawings are (1) the 3D forearms have wristbands; so, they may be using Contractor-Ops forearms and (2) the 3D model boots are black. 3D digital image shows Sailor with orange vest on and no vest on while holding green vest. This is going to be an Army building (Navy building?) figure for sure. Jason

I had put in a request for a backpack nuke, for the CIA guys to have a mission. I'd shit bricks if that were the freebie.
When these companies put up their timetables, that's not Gospel of when the items should hit your mailbox and any delay after that is a failure. It's no more a failure of the mission than a moon launch having to pause the countdown due to weather. It's simply the earliest possible date if *everything goes perfectly*, which simply is not a reasonable expectation. |

I'm wondering how this delay is going to affect all the stuff that was shown during the Marauder Mayhem event (Ultra, Wrath, Halo Ops, Scuba Ops, Astro Ops). Was really hoping to see some of that stuff, before the year ended.

Yeah, I was excited to see the new Ultra stuff as well but awhile back they said they were putting all of that on hold until the Vietnam KS was complete.
