Awesome!

Thanks to a very unexpected turn of events with the factory I've luckily been given the opportunity to keep moving forward with production on the new Adventure People line. Initially there were two major issues that I had with the most recent samples, one is that they weren't scaled correctly, and the other was with poorly designed joints. I won't go into the specifics but both of these were mistakes made by the factory, who at first was unwilling to fix them without more money. Thankfully, in an effort to build a solid business relationship and do the right thing, they have decided to fix both of these issues at their own expense.
The bad news is that this will obviously cause a further delay, but the good news is that the final product will meet my expectations and hopefully make backers happy after what has been an extremely long and frustrating wait. Thanks again for your patience! Craig

HAHA! Same here. Holy Snafu, Action Man!
Here's the thing - We knew from the moment this was 'cancelled' that this would effect EF. It was denied. Then the right questions were asked. EF exposed the issue. Once known, the backers asked for the fix, rather than compromise. Now AP is back on, proving that the issue was DIRECTLY related to EF. While I am VERY glad AP is back on, and that EF is getting perfected, I'm frustrated by this wavering. The problem could have been mitigated by complete transparency from the get-go, when Zica decided not to compromise. Now, how much money has been spent by Craig to offer refunds, and how much will be lost by him on loss of trust? At any rate, I think this is good news, but we had to go through bad to get there, and worse than it probably needed to be. And still, I wish all endeavors the best. It's stuff like this which will hopefully be documented and shared later after much success as the stepping stones to greatness. Here's hoping. |

I am not happy about the idea of delaying Eagle Force so that they can rescale to match other toy lines?

This is good news! Great job ZICA. Sounds like Craig sticking to his guns will result in better figures for everyone.

Well, I get Zica not wanting to throw FM under the bus on this, but I do agree that transparency from the start would have been better and would have avoided the speculation. Gotta hand it to FM though for stepping up and having Zica's back on this one. A lot of harm could have come Zica's way in the way of future sales (or lack thereof) if it wouldn't have been squared away.
I was critical of Zica when they cancelled AP. I admit that. I was frustrated, upset, mad, sad...all of it. But having the issues come out and knowing Zica kind of fell on the sword so to speak to cover a bro, makes me want to back their stuff even more. Just my opinions. Delays do suck and we all know AP has been delayed quite a bit. To me, and again, just my opinion, seems the figure business is more difficult with more unforeseen challenges than were expected by Zica or FM. Sounds like they are getting it straight though, and I wish them all the best.

Missed out on their KS, but I'm more likely to back a project now, even if I'm on the fence. |
