To answer an earlier question, nobody has received a refund as far as I know. I requested one but never heard back from Solomon or from his helper who supposedly took over for communication on KS.
I'm out over $100 on this project but I know some people here took a much bigger loss than that. The stuff I backed for was all unpainted white blanks and some jet packs anyway which means my stuff should actually have been available. I'm pretty sure I remember the campaign reporting that they received the shipment of blanks stateside and were waiting for the rest to arrive before fulfilling backer orders. If I'm not mistaken about that, then Solomon has been sitting on a crate or two (or more) of blanks and at least some of the accessories somewhere for a couple of years now without doing any fulfillment whatsoever. It seems like those should most definitely have been distributed even if the rest of the project is dead or will be delayed another decade. Anyway, if we're never really going to get the physical product then perhaps he should be releasing the 3d models for everything. At least that way people with resin printers could turn a few figures and accessories out. Fulfillment costs are zero, Solomon still gets his art into the world, and the rest of us aren't left completely empty-handed. I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen, but it would be better than nothing.

i dont totally feel bad for removing SW from some groups i admin for spamming the kickstarter (they were o-ring gijoe only groups, i do not join modern sculpt gijoe groups). it's not just the factory, i think he's part of the problem too. |

I hope this gets a second wind, but I agree it isn't likely. Looks like I did an all-in for $595 and I think I also added around $120 in the backerkit.
It's kind of amazing that this might be the only 1/18 project not to deliver given all the problems many of the kickstarters encountered. |

Looked up my order from Sunok Studios. Here's what I seemingly ordered
Hell Screamerz Silent Ghost Reaperz Pre-Order - $28.99 Retro Screamerz 2 Pack Pre-Order - $25.00 Hell Screamerz Void Trooperz Carded Pre-Order - $25.99 Hell Screamerz General Harkn Pre-Order - $25.99 Divine Hammer Spectral Hammer Exclusive Carded Pre-Order - 28.99 order date - 7/8/2019 Went to their website...it doesn't exist anymore. Think that pretty much sums it up. This ain't happening. :( |

Hellscammerz. It?s all in the name.
Ask people who?ve been around this community long enough about good ?ol Solomon. Promises broken before this KS, no surprises after it. Back the wrong horse, you get what you get. Marauders, Skeletron, Longbow, 3-D Joes?these are current/upcoming creators with backing from the community. Eagle Force was questionable until it wasn?t. I?m sure Bill took a huge loss, but found a new factory and never gave up. Now, Fresh Monkey joins that group of creators worth trusting/investing in. The constant gaslighting by Solomon is where I felt ripped off. I mean, why would your investors be entitled to clear communication from you? The last update we received was 2021, that's good enough, amirite? Solomon - C'mon now, it's going on SIX. FUCKING. YEARS. Level with your backers just come clean: You got in way over your head. Hey, the bright side? You were able to push out that Steel Kaiju, so kudos for actually finishing a project! |

6 years? That is how long CIAD has owed me a dollar twenty five for that peep show he wanted to see but ran out of money.

This is so sad but a learning experience, I did invest heavily in this one for a kickstarter, even with the research I put in the creator. Not my 1st lost investment, but the first hobby related. Unfortunately when a product is dispose or send to this kind of website is not a good sing. It did teach me to put a threshold in all my hobby related kickstartes and hold me to back up in a lot of great kickstartes like 6 inch and other new projects from creators that have issues in this past 5 years. Last year I put this project on the lost bin. But for certain is I have plenty of reasons to call out if any of this 2 people try to or cooperate in another investment or toy project.

I sure hope the negativity around this project doesn't affect others like Fresh Monkey because Fresh Monkey is awesome and they come through for the customers.
