Update for delivery

Hey everyone...

Sadly the factory keeps giving me excuses on getting the figure produced. They are now telling me it'll be mid November before I'll even see product. So if they can stick to that schedule I'd imagine I'll be shipping in early Dec. 

I keep pressuring them to send me some updates and images but I'm not having much luck.  Sadly I think this will be the last Amazing Heroes retro offering unless I can move the tooling to another factory as this new factory is not able to deliver product on time.

I'll keep you all updated as I know more.

So sorry about the delays.

Why the lack of updates....

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates...the factory keeps telling me they are going to send me images but it seems to change every week. So I've been holding off on a update till I had some images. So instead of keeping you waiting I thought I'd do a quick post. 

According to the factory they go stuck with a government inspection which delayed all their productions 4-6 weeks. They have told me they will get me images soon and that we'll have product in Sept so we can ship in early Oct. 

So that's the latest. I'll of course keep you updated as I get more info. For those interested in our more modern styled Amazing Heroes line we just launched the campaign for that if you want to check it out.

Quick Update...factory images

Hey everyone

We're dialing in the final paint ops with the factory so we can start production later this month. Here are some images I got yesterday as we dial in the paint apps for eyes for the figures..

If we can stay on track we'll hopefully have the figures mid to late July so we can start shipping orders.

Thanks again everyone!

Add On and Pre-Orders will be charged this week.

Hey Everyone!

We have closed the Pre-Orders, so all Add On's and Pre-Orders will be charged this week. 

We are still waiting of 4 backers to complete their surveys. If you have not completed your survey please do so as I need to get totals to the factory for manufacturing. Please check your email inbox for a reminder. 

We should have the final paint samples later this month and start production in June. I expect to be able to deliver in late July. 

I was hoping to do Amazing Heroes quarterly offerings but I don't know if that will be the case. The factory is not able to do maintain a schedule as this figures are very short runs and they are fitting them in between low points in their manufacturing schedule. I think the best thing to do is do a kickstarter twice a year but offer 4-5 figures like we did this time. We're working on paint masters for Wave 3 now, so I hope to be able to announce that toward July. 

Here are some paint samples of Madman and Nexus for those of you that added them to your order.

Thanks again!

Bill
