Anyone heard any updates on this since the wait until after Chinese New Year update? I've lost track if I should be looking at Facebook or checking the Kickstarter page for info.

Has anyone seen evidence of actual production occurring? The talk on the book of faces is less than pleasant and I do not believe Solomon Witt is well liked by many on Facebook.

I think the dude got in way over his head and probably got jerked around similarly to what happened with FMF and he's not handled it as well. The last message I saw from him was I'll tell you when there's something to update...and that's just not good to say to people that have thousands of dollars invested in your product.

In one of the Joe groups on Facebook, people are indeed stirring up shit. I don't know how it's going to help. Either he is going to finish it, or he isn't. I am into it for more than 1 grand and don't stand to get a penny back, if he walks away. He is in a bad spot. If he wanted, he could have shut down his Facebook account and ghosted. He hasn't. I expect he plans to get this done. Otherwise, why stick around? On 10/19/19, he noted he had 9k of the blank figures done. Photos he shared on facebook are below. upload This was shared on 9/7/19. These were shared on 9/1/19. |

The problem is there are two problems. The original Kickstarter, and then the 2019 preorders on sunokstudios.com which has since closed again.
If it were just the Kickstarter, sure, victim of circumstance or whatever. But to my knowledge, orders were billed in July 2019 and neither a product nor a refund has been delivered, correct? |

Something smells very fishy here.

I also have a fair amount of money tied up in both the KS and the subsequent preorder. I will say this, I recently ordered a set of 5 casted "Ghost in the Shell BAT heads with skulls from Solomon and he was solid. Paid via PayPal, received the tracking info immediately, and received the heads in a few days. These were pieces he casted himself so a different situation than the KS and pre-order but a great experience with him.
I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about the fulfillment of the KS and the pre-order. It's been a loooong time but I think there are factors at play that are outside of his control. That said, I am a fan of transparency and would like to know more about what's going on with it.

I apologize if it sounded like I was trying to troll or anything. One of the fb groups is in full tie him to a pile of wood and set.him on fire mode, so I was curious as to the real story. It appears, to my untrained and no skin in the game eyes, that he got in way over his head. I wish you all luck on getting the toys, the mockups looked great. I abstained as I didn't see a fit for my kids.

I am well in over $1K myself between the kickstarter and I bought some more on the 2019 pre-order (stupid maybe right), but I am an eternal optimist and think he will deliver. It was an ambitious (maybe too much so) KS he did run.

If the worst happens, 'failure' is *NOT* a 'scam'. These projects are never a guarantee any more than the big established companies deliver items they show off at ToyFair and such. The simple fact is that with Kickstarter we now get to see how the sausage is made and the process doesn't always result in product we want or even product existing at all.
But none of that means Solomon went into it with the intent to steal our money, and *NONE* of his behavior actually shows that was his intent then or now. Don't go asserting malfeasance where there is no evidence of it, mate. |
