Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates, but sadly I don't have anything new to report. The factory has had the paint masters for months, but has yet to get me paint samples. They tell me they'll have something to me by early November to review so we can go into production.
At this rate I I would expect fulfillment until early Q2 2019. I know this it not the news anyone wants to hear, including myself, but this is where we are at. This factory has delivered on 2 other projects for independent toy creators, but I can't seem to get them to move faster on this one.
As soon as I know more I'll of course let everyone know.
Thanks

Hey Everyone
I wanted to share some images of the final paint master, he's off to the factory to create a paint sample so we can start production. The joints are not fully assembled because of the paint thickness, this will be resolved for final production.
We're looking at fulfillment closer to the end of the year. I'll of course keep you updated as things progress.
Thanks

Hey Everyone!
We did a few minor touch ups to the Larry Hama paint master and had him displayed at Joe Con last weekend along with our Eagle Force Returns figures. Thanks to Justin Bell at GeneralsJoes for the images.
He'll come back to us, then it's off to the factory so they can work on the paint sample.
As always we'll keep you updated as we move forward.
Thanks again everyone!
Bill
Paint master image! and Joe Con 2018 update!

Quick update...
Thanks to the awesome Sean Grogan we have our paint master for Mr. Hama.
Yes we are aware the figure has a few misassembled parts, we'll correct that before the production begins.
Our plan is to have our 1/18th Larry on display at Joe Con 2018 at the Chicken Fried Toys booth. After the show the paint master will be shipped to China so the factory can work on the finalized paint sample.
Thanks again everyone!
Final Tooling sample images and delivery update.

Hey everyone!
Sorry to the lack of updates. We were waiting on the factory to finish the retool of the figure to make it the correct height. I have tooling samples in hand now, you can see images below. The figure came out great!
We're sending Larry out to get painted by the prototype painter, but unfortunately since the factory got behind the painter is booked till July, so we won't see the paint master till mid/late July. I'm looking for another painter to move this along faster, so if anyone knows someone that's available please feel free to reach out and let me know.
After we have the paint master he's off to the factory so the factory can produce a painted sample and then production will begin. So sadly we're still a ways off, I'm hoping for Q3 2018 delivery. I apologies for the delays, I've been pushing the factory as fast as I can, but when dealing with manufacturing overseas, especially with low production numbers, you're kinda beholden to the factories timelines.
Trust me I want this to move just as fast as anyone. I'll keep pushing forward and make sure you are updated as we continue to move ahead. Thanks for your patience and understanding, I know when the figure is done it'll look great in our collections.
Best,
Bill
