Larry Hama gets an action figure of his own, courtesy of Fresh Monkey Fiction, REMCO--and YOU!
As promised yesterday...here are a few images of Larry.
Also we're going to include this card in every order as a reminder to fix the waist issue we discovered per yesterdays post.
We'll keep everyone updated once we get the order and are ready to start fullfillment.
Hey everyone!
I had a few folks reach out to me today after the last post and ask "What Happens if you put the figure in hot water for 5 mins?"
So I popped off the head, arms and jackets and dunked Larry in hot water for 3 mins..and guess what! It fixed the issue with the waist articulation. I know it's not great that you need'll need to drown Larry in hot water but if you do that the waist will turn just fine. Sorry for the scare but thanks to the few of you who made the suggestion.
Okay back to prepping to get this bad boy out to you soon.

Hey Everyone
Addreesses are now locked. If you need to change your address please contact backer kit support here:
https://larry-hama-action-figure.backerkit.com/faq#contact-us
and put in a request to change your address. We expect to start shipping in a few weeks, so please do this ASAP as after we start fulfillment you will not be able to change your address.
We did get a few figures shipped to us via FedEx. We have opened a few figures and they look great, we'll post some images shortly. The interchangeable hands are a great addition and really add some extra functionality to the figure.
There is an issue we the waist on the figure that we sadly cannot resolve and wanted to highlight this to all backers. The waist cannot turn/rotate more than 3-5 degrees, this was a manufacturing issue that was a result of all the issues with Tiandeng Liu and the parts that were recovered from his factory. All the other elements of the figure function as intended but please do not force or turn the waist more than 3-5 degrees on each side. If you do this the pin that holds the waist to the torso will snap.
Many of you are planning on keeping the figure carded for display but we know many of you are intending to remove the figure from it's plastic prison and display your figure with other 1/18th figures. For those folks we know this is not ideal, we are very disappointed and upset that we have to deliver this news, but we hope the extra set of hands make up for it in some small way. As we mentioned, all the other other elements of the figure function as intended so there are still many ways you can display your figure.
This justs adds one more thing to the list of many obstacles that we've had to overcome to finally get this figure out the door and delivered to you.
Once fullfillment is complete we'll be posting any left over stock for sale on our website sometime in September. We will have a very limited number of figures left, but we'll update the kickstarter and social media when we plan on offering the remaining stock.
We'll post an update once the figures arrive and get fullfillmet moving.
Thanks again for sticking with us for the journey and we're excited to finally get these figures out the door and in your hands.

The factory has shipped the figures, it'll take 3-4 weeks for them to arrive and get through customs. We expect to start shipping in late June and into July/Aug. With that in mind it's time for everyone to lock their address.

Once this mail goes out you'll have 48 hours to adjust your address or your address will be locked to the address you provided when you filled our your survey. If your address has not changed there is no action required and we'll ship to the address you provided when you filled out your survey.
Once address are locked we will ship to the address provded and you'll get a shipping notification to track your order. If you fail to update your address and your item is shipped to a previous address you provided we will NOT reship items to addresses that are different from those that are locked.

Also, we cannot add to orders at this time, if you'd like to order additional figures you'll be able to pre-order figures in August/September when our remaining (very minimal) stock goes online after our Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.
Thanks

Hey everyone.
Happy to say that production is now complete. The factory is now packing the figures for shipment. They even threw in an extra set of hands with each figure because they wanted to do something nice for the customers given how long it’s taken to get these figures done. The delays were not even their fault but they wanted to do something cause folks have been waiting far too long.
Here are a couple of images.
We’re working out the shipping logistics now. Given covid-19 things are a bit messy with the shipping companies, but once we work it out I’ll have a better sense of an eta.
More soon..
