Wish I had the money to give someone to grab me one. Gary was a great guy and I keep missing out on the memorial figs of him.

Couldn't go as deep I wanted but I snagged one each of the MTF figures. I'll be happy.

If you missed the ROBOSKULL MKII Kickstarter, the pre-order store is now open for EVERYONE! You can pre-order a GYRE WOLF aka Gary "Goggles" "Gyre-Viper" "Sightline Head figure here, too! Thank you!

That’s right, unlike most Kickstarters they are letting anybody who wants to jump in now to preorder anything on the menu before this stuff goes into production. I promise you this, in two years and change, when these start hitting people’s mailboxes and door steps, you’re going to wish you had jumped in now. And whenever these do hit online stores, they are going to cost you waaaay more.

Is it just me or does the words "beautifully carded" not seem as a positive when it comes to $$$ figures?

For that price, I don't want to destroy the packaging just to get the figure out. Maybe if they had a clamshell and packaging that would allow you to open it without ripping/tearing/etc and then you could just put it all back together to display?

i think the "carded" primo figures i have seen are a card that slides into a clam. i only had a few bfs gorgon and a single awok, but iirc they both were easy access/reapply carded.

I just made my payment on this. It's the first time I've made add-ons to my original pledge. One day these will arrive and I'll have to convince my wife that I paid for them "over a year ago." Honestly, I don't have to convince her, she'll just go "Ugh" and roll her eyes that I bought more stuff I have no room for.

We think you'll agree that the Wolf Trooper has turned out beautifully at the 4" Marauder/1:18 scale. After these photos were taken we made some final enhancements to the jet pack, and we're ready to call it finished!

Mark's ZBrush View | O-Ring Articulation Engineering Review

Skeletron’s Mark O’Byrne has been working closely with Dave Proctor of Spartan Toys and John Kukovich and Troy McKie at Grindstone Toys to ensure that our Retro Skeletron/Wolf Trooper is fully engineered and ready for tooling. This figure is the very first of many to utilize the new Grindstone figure buck, as this buck is also the basis for the upcoming CALLSIGN: LONGBOW and OPERATION: RECALL O-ring figure lines!

Wordburglar's I GET TO DRIVE IT digital download is now available! Check your inbox if you pre-ordered the ROBOSKULL MKII Vinyl Album in BackerKit. Wordburglar delved deep into Palitoy lore and created a kickass track that every old-school fan will enjoy. This song is Bob Brechin-approved! Huge thanks to the awesome team who made this happen! And check out this phenomenal new art by Brian Sauer:

We continue to forge ahead and are making steady progress on all products. This fall will be an important time to move everything into the next stages, so stay tuned!

Hello Roboskullers,

We've received in-hand First Shots of our Retro SKELETRON/Wolf Trooper Figure, and they look fantastic!

As expected, some small adjustments to the molds will need to be made and then we'll receive updated test shots prior to final production.

Progress is also being made on all other fronts, and tooling has commenced for our Marauder 4" Wolf Trooper/Blood Wolf/Red Weasel/Gyre Wolf figures!

The Roboskull™ MKII, Roboknight Heavy Metal Armor, and Elite Flight Stand currently reside with our experienced action figure vehicle partner in Hong Kong. We expect there will be just one additional review in the next few weeks before tooling commences for the Roboskull and accessories. Here's a peek at a couple of sculpting detail upgrades being incorporated into the production of the Roboskull MKII:

Our highly-detailed 6" Red Shadows™ figures continue to progress, and the technical articulation/engineering is being worked on for our completed 6" figure sculpts.

4" & 6" Skeletron™ figures are currently further behind the rest of the figures, though they may yet catch up with the Wolf Pack. The first draft of the TOTAL ROBOSKULL hardcover is complete, and will no doubt be ready for print as soon as we complete the final product photo shoot. Finally, for those of you who pre-ordered the Roboskull Vinyl album, it is in production and we expect it will be ready to ship with the next wave of toys. The final double-sided album cover is below- Happy Record Store Day!

IT'S RECORD STORE DAY!

So, where does all this put us on our delivery schedule? Even with continued progress on all products, we feel that the overall pace of progress is putting our late summer target at risk. We are continuing to push for late summer, and believe it is likely that we will split shipping into a wave of toys as we await the completion of the balance of products. We sincerely apologize for the additional time that is needed for us to complete this Kickstarter, and we GREATLY appreciate your patience and continued support! We will continue to keep you updated, and we are committed to delivering everything as quickly as possible, without compromising the quality we all expect.

THANK YOU!

-SKELETRON
