Factory images...now in the package
about 5 years ago – Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 07:34:42 PM

We just got images back from our factory visit last week. The figures are almost done. See packaging shots below.  


It seems the factory forgot to produce the extra heads, even though we reminded them about it 100 times , as well American Crusaders cape, Nexus's card back and they also forgot to print some of the Golden Age card backs.  It's like herding cats at this factory.  

They are now tell us they will address these issues and have them ready by the 15th of May.  So we'll be scheduling our next(and hopefully last) trip in a few weeks.

Thanks everyone.

Post Chinese new Year Update
about 5 years ago – Wed, Mar 06, 2019 at 10:27:09 PM

Quick Update

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the late of updates, but the factory just got back from their holiday. 

We have been told by the original factory manager they the AH line will be done in 3 weeks. 

Our new Project  Managers, who also manage the Four Horseman's Mystic Legions line,  will be visiting the factory on Wednesday of next week to get a lay of the land and get to the heart of why our current factory manager has not been able to deliver on time.

More to follow as our new team digs in....

Thanks

Factory challenges update...
over 5 years ago – Sat, Jan 26, 2019 at 02:36:46 PM

Hey Everyone,

Sadly I don’t have much to report as it’s Chinese New Year and the factories in China go dark for most of late Jan - late Feb.

I breaks me to write these monthly updates, will little news of progress. The factory in China we chose to do business with has not held up their end nor been able to commit to a realistic schedule. They continue to make empty promises to us on delivery timelines for all of our current projects including Eagle Force, Larry Hama and Amazing Heroes. This is not only effecting our business but Spero toys as well, who produce the "Animal Warriors of the Kingdom" line. Although this factory was able to produce their initial wave, they has fallen behind with subsequent waves. 

There is some light at the end of this tunnel, a few industry veterans who are currently working in China have generously offered to help us get our projects back on track after Chinese New Year.  They and their team will be visiting the factory and help project manage our projects to completion.  I am very confident with their help, we can turn a corner and get these figures in your hands with the quality you expect. We’ll of course keep you updated as the factory returns from Chinese New Year next month, as well be communicating with them daily. 

Many of you have asked about future waves and other projects, please understand that those need to be on “pause" for now until we get these figures in your hands. 

Thanks again sticking with us as we continue to work though these challenges. As always please feel free to reach out to us directly with any questions, as you know we are here and not going anywhere.
