Hey everyone!
I wanted to give you an update. We're in the middle of the tooling process at the factory. Here are some images. For those of you who backed our Eagle Force Kickstarter you've seen these as we are tooling all the parts at once. I hope to have factory samples by the end of July so we'll be sure to share those as soon as we have them.
We're planning on locking down the Backer Kit on July 15th, so if you have not completed your Backer Kit survey please do so. We still have 27 folks that need to complete their survey. You should have gotten an update from Backer Kit earlier today with a reminder.
If you want to ADD ON additional items to your order now is the time. Please do so before July 15th. You do not need to finalized your address, but we do need your final order as we need to place the official order with the factory. If you added ADD ONs to your order you'll be charged around July 15th.
If you are unclear or have any questions please reach out to me via Kickstarter (not Facebook or email) and I'll get back to you asap.
Thanks everyone!

BackerKit Surveys will go out soon!

Hey everyone,
BackerKit surveys are coming!
We will be sending an email with a special link to BackerKit surveys over the next week . The BackerKit will remain open until June 1st, but It is important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information for fulfilling your rewards.
You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey, just click on the survey link, fill it out, and you’re all good to go! You will be able to answer questions about your rewards preferences, provide shipping information, and pledge for more “add-ons” if you'd like. You do not have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
If you decide later that you want to edit your survey response, you can go back to your survey and change it any time before we lock down the surveys for processing.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you will be able to recover your survey here: https://larry-hama-action-figure.backerkit.com.
If you use your Facebook login for your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey will be sent to the email you used for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you would prefer to use, please contact support at https://larry-hama-action-figure.backerkit.com/faq and we'll get you sorted out!
Also, we thought we'd share a couple images of the 3D Print of the figure. We did this to check scale...I thought it would be fun to share.
Thanks everyone!

The Larry Hama action figure kickstarter has funded!!! What happens now…

Wow, what a great turn out! We had around 750 backers come out and support this project, it's amazing to see so many Larry fans show their love for him as we immortalize him in plastic.
So what happens now?
Kickstarter will charge your credit cards within 24hrs, if they have an issue charging your card, you should get a notification that you’ll need to update your credit card info. Please, if you get this type of notification, update your credit card asap, as there is only a 7 day window to update your information. If you do not update your info, your order will be dropped by Kickstarter and you won’t get your rewards.
What else do you need to do?
Nothing else at the moment. I’m setting up the BackerKit survey now, I expect to be ready to send it out in 2-3 weeks. Once this is done you’ll get a notification from BackerKit that the survey has been set up. I’ll be sure to do a Kickstarter update here as well. Once you get the survey, all you need to is sign up, fill out your shipping information, and select the rewards and add ons you pledged for during the campaign. If you want to add additional items you’ll be able to purchase those during the survey process. The survey will remain open until June 1st, but I encourage you to fill in out as soon as possible once it has been sent out.
We’re going to start working on the final packaging and do a 3D print of the figure to test size and scale. The full production cycle for this figure will take almost a year, but I’ll keep everyone updated as we go.
Oh many of you asked when we’ll reveal the mystery accessory…we’re not going to reveal it until we ship the figures, so it’ll be a fun surprise when you receive your figure.
Thanks again everyone.

The art of Adam Riches...

Hey everyone!
I thought I'd share some of the concept art from Adam Riches for the packaging.
We went through a couple poses, but I think we landed on one that really captured Larry.
We're super close to unlocking our final stretch goal...let's try to get the word out there so we can make it happen.
Thanks everyone
Bill
