Now is when the regret at not throwing in on this KS starts...

I just have to keep track of when it’s arriving. The MOTU Prince Adam and Sky sled sadly met its doom thanks to a stupid ups driver and the dogs. Rather than place the package in the box that is labeled packages. It was left next to the mail box about a 1/4 mile from the house. If this happened to my EF figures one of you all may need to bail me out of jail.

Update from last Wednesday. Figures have arrived and are being inspected. Should expect fulfillment to start in a couple weeks. If you need to change your address this is your last chance.

Shipping is starting this week. They are saying it will take a month + to get everything out. A special bonus will be included. Tracking will be emailed to your Backerkit email.

Hey Everyone

We just finalized our inspection of our shipment and we noticed a few missing parts in 2 of our figures. Given the fact that we have almost 30 SKUs this was unfortunately bound to happen.

General Brown is missing his beret.
Stryker Jr. was missing is sniper rife.
The factory is producing these parts and will ship them overnight to us in 2 weeks. We are going to start fulfillment but if you ordered those figures we will hold your order till the replacement parts come in so we can ship them all together.

Also, for those that ordered a Barron Von Chill figure we opted to not have gloved hands on the figure. After we got our samples we felt the figure looked better without gloved hands given his awesome blue flesh tone. FYI we made a few minor paint ops changes on few of the figures as we felt they made the figure look better than our original 3D images. That said, the Barron Von Chill mistakenly will come with gloved hands, but they are painted blue (to match his flesh tone). The figure does include an extra set of correct non-gloved hands, so you’ll have corrected hands you can swap out when you get your figure.

Thanks everyone,
FMF

I mean hey it happens. For my part I can do without the sniper rifle and beret. I have some from MTF that I still haven’t used. The fact that these are finally gonna be in our hands and I can threaten my nephews with severe bodily harm if they touch them will be worth it. As long as I can keep the dogs from getting them first I’m Golden.... no pun intended...lol

My figures arrived today, I had only ordered two (Captain Eagle and Ultima Thule). They turned out ok, all things considered, but there's some dissapointment around the hands (flesh colored hands that are obviously gloves, or alternate hands not having the same level of paint apps than the default hands of Ultima Thule. I like the addition of the swivel boot to go with the rocker ankles, and the bonus figure was appreciated.

Yeah, not a fan of the painted hands, especailly with the hinge joints immediately scraping the paint off. My Captain Eagle has wobbly legs, like those boot swivels, ankles, and legs are loose enough that he has trouble standing up and even on a stand (not included) he ends up leaning backwards. gonna have to rethink where to put him now. But hey, Kickstarter delivered!

And the free figure is free. Neat, unnecessary, but most importantly, free. I can't complaint about that.

Was there an actual eagle accesory with these or was that a vintage eagle I saw?

I'm very excited to finally get these just so it can be done with. I got the Firebug army-builder set to use as henchmen in Marvel displays... but I don't display my Marvel figures any more. I'll probably end up trading off most of them.

I thought I read an update about the hands over the weekend but I've slept since then.

I just have a set of the winter figures and some heads coming. After receiving the Larry Hama figure I know what to expect but I'm still eagerly anticipating these.

Do you have any of the Captain Action/Sectaurs figures? They're supposedly the same buck with some height added to the EFs to bring them up to 4" and I'm wondering how far back in production the two diverged. I wouldn't think simply extending the calf would affect the jointage.
