Quitcher [LASER BLAST]' about the Eagle Force stuff; I've been waiting for the Captain Action line for like 9 months longer, ya pikers! I'm the only one getting shafted here!

Adventure People has been canceled.

Yeah, I got that email. I can't say that I'm surprised. As I'm not *at all* clear what the differences are between Zica, RemCo, Adventure People, Eagle Force, and everything else we've seen under this umbrella I'm gonna simply say I'm disappointed and wish they were still coming.

I'm really curious how they handle the Eagle Force characters that used the Captain Action body

These were posted on the Eagle Force Returns Page yesterday. They said that Ninja Eagle Force, Eagle Force Mega, and Eagle Force 1981 are "transmedia" and figures aren't planned at this time.

Got to love the Lee Van Cleef as the Master homage.
Following their recent difficulties, I'm not surprised that they might want to build interest into the franchise before going through the whole toy manufacturing process again.

The Captain Action line is back on track!

Looks like they finally came to an agreement with the factory and things are moving along once again.

Eagle Force Handbook and Comic has been distributed, plus a look at the adjusted scale
Posted by Bill Murphy (Creator)
Hey Everyone

Sorry for the lack of updates. It was Chinese New Year and the factory was shut down for most of February.

We just distributed the Eagle Force Handbook Vol. 1 and the Eagle Force Comic Strip via a digital download. You should have received an email notification from BackerKit to download these rewards.

Here is a look at the scale adjustment for the revised tooling. Still a lot of tweaks need to made on the figure in the joint areas, but as you can see it's now taller than the previous tooling. I should have more images to share in the coming weeks.

(pluv disclosure- there were a few more pics in the email for the Eagle Force figures, but I cherry picked the ones that seemed the most relevant.)

Hey Everyone!

We just got a few images of the tooling adjustments. There are still a couple minor issues, including the gap between the upper leg and crotch but we're hoping to have those resolved soon. You can see images below, along with a comparison with the old shorted tooling.

I know this is taking longer than expected but we're working hard to make these figures great! I'm hoping to have samples in hand in a few weeks, so I'll take better images at that point.

So what's next steps? Once the tooling is finaled we're going to move on the paint masters. Paint masters were not part of our original project plan, we hoped the 3D renders would be sufficient for the factory. This worked very well for our Amazing Heroes Retroverse line but as these figures require more paint decos we have decided to have Ed Bradley (Sideshow, Diamond) do the paint masters for the figures. Here are a couple paint masters he just did for a new comic book line we are working on.

Traditionally this is done earlier in the process, but because of the nature of the Kickstarter timeline and the fact that we feel strongly the factory needs painted samples, we are doing this after tooling. These paint masters will allow the factory to have a in-hand reference of how we want the production figures to look. This will cause the figures to be delayed a bit more than we would like but we feel this will achieve a better result in the long run.

We will of course keep you updated as things progress at every stage. Thanks again for all the support, I know this has been a long road but it will be worth it in the end.

Best,

Bill

The Carrot's orangeness and fire both need more 'pop', imho; and I have zero faith that his shirt's shading will come out in the final product.

Yeah my kid has learned to walk and talk and use the toilet and dress himself since then.
