Hey everyone!

The votes have been tallied and Sgt. Bulldog's pet has a name. It was a close race, but "Churchill" won with the most popular vote! I think this is a fitting name for our Sgt's best  friend. Thanks for voting everyone. 

The fine folks at The Drawn Word, who brought you the amazing Eagle Force Strikes Trading card set, have just launched a Kickstarter campaign for our 1st Eagle Force novel "Eight Lives Left" featuring classic 80's Eagle Force member The Cat. 

The Cat: Eight Lives Left is the first Eagle Force Pulp novella that tells the story of Lee Fine, a cat burglar roped into taking on one big job for an agency so secret it doesn't even have a name. Eight Lives Left plants narrative seeds that will come to bloom as far forward in the Eagle Force timeline as the upcoming Monster Force. It weighs in at as a 64-page pocket-sized (5.06 x 7.81 ) paperback book, with a limited print run for this first cover.

Written by Christopher Irving, this is an homage to all things Ian Fleming, as this cat burglar begins his journey into becoming America's leading secret agent.

Head on over to the Eagle Force novel "Eight Lives Left" Kickstarter campaign and check it out...but don't wait long the campaign ends on May 19th.

Also as many of you know we're in development of our next Eagle Force action figure kickstarter. The next line won't launch until 2018 after all kickstarter orders have been filled but we've been working to develop 2 companion lines, Eagle Force: Monster Force and Eagle Force: Heroes vs Villains

We've heard from a few of you that there was some disappointment around the fact that we're moving on to 2 companion lines and not focusing on the core Eagle Force Team. I'm happy to announce that the next campaign will feature characters from not only from  Eagle Force: Monster Force and Eagle Force: Heroes vs Villains BUT we're also going to feature core Eagle Force characters as well, both classic and new characters such as S.T.A.T. the Eagle Force Medical Officer.

Look for more character reveals later this year.

Thanks for your support everyone!

Reminder Backerkit closes in less than 2 weeks and what's going on behind the scenes?
almost 7 years ago – Mon, Apr 17, 2017 at 09:06:09 PM

Hey everyone.

I've got a few images to show. The factory has started to prep the tooling for the figures. We prototyped some figures at the factory to test out a few things. I'm always hesitant to show images like this cause they are very early and extremely rough around the edges, but as this is a Kickstarter and we've come together as a community to bring Eagle Force back to action I wanted to share them.

Again these are very rough and there are many things we are adjusting but I always think it's fun to see some behind the scenes images. 

Also Steven Butler is working hard on finalizing the packaging art..here are are couple of B&W images.

Plus Joe Harris has started working on the Eagle Island play sets..he's started printing the parts and will begin assembly soon. 

Also I reminder that the Backerkit is closing on May 1st so please make sure you fill out and submit your BackerKit ASAP. If you have any questions please message me via Kickstarter and let me know. 

Oh and we've started to show a few figures for our follow up Eagle Force line. Eagle Force: Heroes vs Villains and Monster Force. We'll be launching this Kickstarter in early 2018 as soon as the Eagle Force orders are filled. Check out the a few preview images.

Hey Folks

I wanted to give you a heads up that The Drawn Word has just launched the Eagle Force Strikes trading card Kickstarter. 

This card set reveals the backstory (now largely declassified) of the 1980-1985 Eagle Force team! De-Classified after 30+ years are the battles waged by Eagle Force and R.I.O.T. against one another. The initial pack features the following missions:

  • Operation: Big Ben
  • Operation: Motor City
  • Operation: Black Tar
  • Operation: Sarcophagus
  • Operation: Rook
  • Operation: Desert Heat

Also present are The Eagle Files, Captain Eagle’s own thoughts on his team members:

  • Captain Eagle
  • Kayo
  • Goldie Hawk
  • Redwing
  • Sgt. Brown
  • Stryker
  • Harley
  • Wild Bill

Get the limited Captain Eagle Metal card in the Golden Eagle level, or get both him and General Mamba in the Mamba level! The Reinforcements level gets you the Eagle Force Strikes! set, Eagle and Mamba metal cards, and limited metal cards of Sgt. Brown and Baron Von Chill. You'll also get a 1st look at a character from our upcoming Eagle Force: Monster Force line

Check out the Eagle Force Strikes Kickstarter Campaign now! 

On another note, here are a couple images from the packaging art that have now been colored.

Also, we're working on color guides for the factory...for those interested in behind the scenes stuff, we'd thought share these images.

 

Thanks

Bill and Craig! 

Paying it forward! Cause we’re all trying to make cool stuff! 

Each update (or so) will have a short blurb at the bottom where I try to raise awareness about other cool projects, most of them will be Kickstarter projects, but other stuff will be mentioned as well.

TOYS THAT TIME FORGOT - A book about unproduced toys

Do you remember back in the early 1980s, playing with all of the toys based on the sci-fi fantasy film Krull produced by Knickerbocker Toys? What about the Masters Of The Universe meets Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots line that was Hasbro’s Tribes range in the early 1990s? Or all of those ReSaurus-made action figures and role-play accessories based on the break out video game Oddworld in 1997? No? Well, that’s because they were never made...find out the secrets in this new book "Toys that time forgot". Now on Kickstarter.
