*~TSSSSSSSK~* INCOMING TRANSMISSION *~TSSSSSSSK~*

Update: Friday, March 3, 2017

You had questions, Fresh Monkey has answers! Thanks to all of you that took part in the Q&A session held by Fresh Monkey Fiction. Your questions on Eagle Force: Heroes vs. Villains, Eagle Force: Monster Force and of course, Eagle Force returns can be found below.

Also, special thanks once again go out to Fresh Monkey for putting this together and for sharing a new reveal, the HvV Assassin with us! He looks all sorts of bad ass (and will look even slicker with a clean scalp ;) ).



Now, without further ado (and no, it's not adieu, I checked :P), here are the answers to the Eagle Force: Heroes vs. Villains HissTank Q&A!
__________________________________________________ ______________________
Q: Which line will a female character debut in the Eagle Force universe?

A: Eagle Force Wave 2..at lease that’s the plan for now.

Q: Eagle Force is now my favorite line and we don't even have them yet. I love the work you guys are doing and thank you for your constant communication on the boards. Will we see Midnightmen characters such as Mr. Legacy since his image was teased?

A: Yes, Mr. Legacy will be featured in EF:MF

Q: I hope to see characters we didn't get..Harley, Count Von Chill, Redwing...can you shed any light on those?

A: Look for those characters to show up in Eagle Force Wave 2

Q: It appears you guys are appealing to a lot of collectors with Eagle Force, Monster Force and HvV..covering a lot of different avenues. Pure genius in my opinion. What are your thoughts on the success of the first kick and your thoughts on future offerings also being successful?

A: We were supper excited to get Eagle Force off the ground and we couldn’t have done without out awesome backers. As you can see, we have many plan to flesh out the Eagle Force universe and we hope folks continue to support what we’re doing.

Q: Will there ever be a running comic line to support all these different Eagle Force avenues?

A: Man, I hope so…we just need to find a publisher.

Q: Eagle Force Returns appears to have quite a nice mix of new and old fans attracted to the property. Many, including myself, love(d) Eagle Island and can't wait to add it to my collection. In the spirit of breathing new life in to old Eagle Force play patterns, are there any plans to release the Eagle Force V.T.O.L. and/or the Talon Tank?

A: No plans at the moment, but we’d love to expand to vehicles.

Q: Monster Force, In terms of characters, can we expect this series to be based solely around "classic" monsters, or will new characters be added in to the mix elsewhere down the line?

A: We’re starting off with our take on classic monsters, but you can expect new characters to show up as well.

Q: Heroes vs. Villains...Can I have these now?

A: Let’s get them funded 1st.

Q: Will there be various ethnicities for the secret service agent?

A: Yes, for sure….we’re still trying to figure out our plans for the Kickstarter, but that’s out plan.

Q: Will all the new lines and new waves to existing lines be individual Kickstarters or will you start selling pre-orders for new lines and new waves like FBS has been doing?

A: We’ll be primarily offering the figures via the Kickstarter model, but we might drop a figure or 2 via our website in-between.

Q: Also, when (approximately) will the new lines or kickstarters be available?

A: We’d kick off the Kickstarter in early 2018.

Q: Will there be action figures of Reed Crawley, Trip Hansen, Lance McGruder and Shelley Frank?

A: No, this line is not based on the 90's toy line.

Q: What is the possibility of various colored suited figures (navy, tan, green)? Depending on how the articulation connects (boil & pop shoulders/waist) you could mix and match suited figures.

A: Very possible…the idea with EF:HvV is that we want to offer as much variety as possible.

Q: Monster Force is obviously different than Eagle Force, but what differentiates Heroes v Villians from being Eagle Force series 2? Is it just spies/espionage as the first two reveals seem to indicate?

A: EF: HvV is not character or story driven, it’s more about producing figures to outfit your Eagle Force universe, like Bank Robbers, Police Officers..etc, oh I’ve said too much.

Q: I didn't go in on the kickstarter because most of the figures were updated designs and I would have rather had all of the classic characters in their classic deco like the Captain Eagle gold figure. Do you plan to release the other classic characters in their original deco?

A: Yes, you’ll still see classic Eagle Force characters sprinkled here and there in all the lines we produce.

Q: Are the suited figures related to Legion XIV's designs? If so, will characters like the President be available?

A: No these are not related to the Legion XIV project, but those figures are also amazing. Although similar in theme we won’t be offering the same characters as the Legion XIV project.

Q: What's the status of your Larry Hama figure? When can I order?

A: We’re just waiting on the approval of the card artwork, we’re hoping to launch the Kickstarter in Q2 2017.

Q: My original kickstarter payment didnt go through. I still got emails about the backerkit survey. If I complete the survey and pay on backerkit, would I still be able to get the kickstarter set? Or are you guys mad at me now..?

A: Yes, you should still be able to order the figures. No we are not mad at you.

Q: Can you go ahead and produce these figures on credit knowing the money will come flooding in?

A: I wish

Q: Found this posted on another fan site:
"A fan demanded R.I.O.T character, from the vintage line, will make his figure debut in Monster Force." Any chance he could be Savitar?

A: Anything is possible…but no, it’s not Savitar.

Q: How can we help? Is there anything you need volunteers to assist with?

A: The big thing, as always is the share the campaigns when we launch the campaign, that’s the biggest thing, we need to get the word out about the Kickstarter once it goes live so we can make these awesome figures.

Q: Here's another question: if FMF is also making Adventure People figures, will we ever see a modern version of "Jeff”?

A: That’s up to Remco…but yeah Jeff totally needs an updated figure.

Q: Are there any other differences between the secret service agent & the black watch agent, other than the exposed teeth? It's hard to tell in the picture, but does the black watch agent have fangs?

A: Nope, these will be the same figure, except for the head, which will have the exposed fangs. The Blackwatch Agent will be the Kickstarter exclusive.

Q: Does the vampire secret service agent figure have a name and background? Or is he more of a troop builder?

A: He is more of a troop builder.

Q: Which Kickstarter is Agent Grimm planned for?

A: We’re going to try to get him into EF:MF ..at least one version of him…hint hint

Q: Will the Heroes vs. Villains be generic troop builders like secret servicemen, terrorists, police etc ... or will some of these figures be specific characters added to the Eagle Force mythos?

A: The EF:HvV figures will be more generic, they will not have original art or bios on their packaging.

Q: Also when the figures are released will each of them have a dossier on the packaging like a lot of the 80's action figures? Or their card from the kickstarter packaged with them?

A: All the Eagle Force:Monster Force figures will come with original art and a dossier on the packaging, just like Eagle Force Wave 1.

Q: Any chance the Action Figure Turntable Display Stand will make a return into a kickstarter project.

A: We hope so.

Q: Given the generic, non-character oriented nature of the Heroes and Villains line and it's obvious appeal to customisers, is there any chance that you will be offering parts and accessories for purchase separately, like the Marauder Task Force and Boss Fight lines?

A: Our focus is the figures, but that’s not off the table. I’d imagine it’s possible down the road.

- And there you have it, Folks! I know I speak for many when I say we're super excited to see this line come to fruition. Discussion is now back open!

[Loose Cannon]

Ooh good question, although I see Goldie being the priority.

[Itchweed]

Eagle Force is now my favorite line and we don't even have them yet. I love the work you guys are doing and thank you for your constant communication on the boards.

[afwaywa]

That may well be the suited figure I've been hoping for for years.

I was wondering this too, the universe is expanding....would be quite a popular book...

[RolandofGilead]

I would love to write stories for this new universe. You get to combine '80s military adventures, post WWII spycraft, and classic monsters all in one place?

Talk about a dream job.

[C.I.A.D.]

I have questions on just about everything:

Eagle Force Returns

Eagle Force Returns appears to have quite a nice mix of new and old fans attracted to the property. Many, including myself, love(d) Eagle Island and can't wait to add it to my collection.

In the spirit of breathing new life in to old Eagle Force play patterns, are there any plans to release the Eagle Force V.T.O.L. and/or the Talon Tank?

Monster Force

In terms of characters, can we expect this series to be based solely around "classic" monsters, or will new characters be added in to the mix elsewhere down the line?

Heroes vs. Villains

Can I have these now?

[bassistcarlos]

Will there be various ethnicities for the secret service agent?
