Like the title says, what happened? Pretty sure it's not happening but was curious if anyone here had any sort of update. The line looked great and I'm sad it hasn't come to fruition. :(

Last I know from the creator Solomon Witt is that it's still in-process, based on the production samples he showed off. But it's been several months; last year, I think; since those pics. This is indeed looking like the first non-delivery action figure Kickstarter; which blows goats.
From a podcast interview I and a pair of friends did with him before the KS started up I know he sunk a *lot* of money into the project above and beyond the KS earnings and I'm fearing a shitty factory has wasted all that cash and he's hurting financially and emotionally. He doesn't seem the type to take the losses well, imho. |

It's 3 years past due. Solomon took the money and ran.

I know he produced the Steel Kaiju (Cobra Sentinel) figure but I'm not sure if that was from the same group that was to do Hell Screamerz.

Producing molds and production casts is *not* taking the money and running. If anything it's the Factory that did that. The most-likely scenario is that the production casts were sub-standard and he didn't have the even-more money required to re-tool the molds and pay for new production plastic.
This happens *routinely* in toy production, the difference is that Hasbro, Mattel, et al have the money to make fixes so all you notice is a delayed product. |

PS Certainly hope this won't end up being the case with "Callsign Rando" (or whatever it's called).

How was I "trashing" it? I said I hope that won't be the case.

Every now and then this pops up, and sorry but I feel like I was robbed. You guys may be right about it but he should give some insight then. I remember that sometime ago he was complaining about people bitching around and that he was going to refund them because he didn't want to deal with them. Did he do that? Sorry but if he is having that type of problems he should come upfront and be honest with everyone. Eagle Force had that type of problems, with factory which didn't deliver but eventually they sorted things out obtaining support from other guys. As it is, and after so much time it simply feels like a scam.
