Hello, this is the launch of an all new o-ring figure line themed for the Navy. If you have any questions or concerns at all about the project please feel free to ask me.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...action-figures How did you come up with this price point? It's substantially lower than some of the other O-ring projects. What can you tell us about your knowledge of manufacturing figures? Is this your first time? If so (or even if not) , are you working with any of the other O-ring producers to learn from their experience? As you can tell, I'm excited about this project.

This is some fantastic work. Thanks for starting a separate topic.

We've done figures and design work quite a while ago, but this is now a completely new design team as well as a new factory than what we've worked with before. As for experience, this is actually the second project now that we've done with this factory. The first is one we privately funded to be sure the factory could deliver, before we went bigger. The attached image is the first figure we had produced with this factory. This example is a full final production sample and what will be available once the production is complete. |

Truly excellent design work, they'd be right at home alongside anyone's ARAH collection.
I unfortunately have no room for any non- G.I. Joe, so I'll have to miss out, but I just wanted to let you know that they look great. Good luck!

I'll definitely be backing! I'll probably go with the pick any 10 figure option.

We wanted to keep the price point down to be more inviting to many fans that aren't comfortable with the 25-30 range. Our production costs are still the same as everyone else's, it just means we have to sell more figures to hit our goals.

I just backed for 10 figures right now. We'll see how I feel nearer the end of the Kickstarter. I just paid for Hidden Force, a trip to Joefest, and I have the DFW Joe show next weekend. I may pledge higher depending on finances or if I sell some stuff from other hobbies I'm not into anymore. I like to diorama build so I love these, but I don't have a Flagg, so I'll have to see where my shelf displays can justify these as well.

Your figures are unique in that they're o-ring, but with ME style heads and necks. Are they able to be swapped out with old Joe figure heads?
