Who is that mystery figure in the ALL IN Reward?
over 7 years ago
– Sun, Oct 02, 2016 at 11:03:31 PM
We're 9 days away from closing out the Kickstarter...many folks have been wondering who will be the mystery figure included in the ALL IN Rewards. As I mentioned in a previous update, this mystery figure will be one of the following: a) An extra Army Builder b) A new Army Builder Repaint or c) A new Modern Character.
Well if we can reach 900+ backers in the next 9 days, I'm here to tell you it'll be a new modern character. Here is the 1st look at Santini the Acrobat.
Santini will be our 1st character that is based on one of Paul Kirchner's proposed designs for Wave 2 of the original 1982 Eagle Force line. Salvador Santini VI is from a long line of acrobats. His great grandfather was one of the original members of Eagle Force in World War II (yes WWII, didn't know Eagle Force went back that far did you). The Santini figure will only be available on Kickstarter.
You might be thinking...dang Bill 900+ backers, that's a lot, how we gonna do that? We'll if every one of our current backers reached out personally to 1 friend and got them to back this Kickstarter we'd almost reach 900 backers. Believe it or not, many Kickstarter campaigns double their backer numbers in the last week, for example:
Boss Fight Studio's Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Action Figures: 1,198 Backers
Articulated Icons: The Feudal Series - Ninja Action Figures: 1,241 Backers
Marauder Task Force Gaming Figures: 1,195 Backers
So, if you're interested in seeing the Santini tradition grow, please reach out to a friend today and say "Hey do you like action figures? Let me tell you about an awesome Kickstarter"
Thanks again for all the support everyone.

Hey Eagle Forcers!!!
Here is an early look at the development we're doing for a proposed Eagle Force Animated Series set in the 80's. We're going for the same style and feel of the old G.I. Joe cartoon, but expect the tone to be geared toward a more adult audience like Archer or Venture Bros.
We did it! EAGLE FORCE WILL RETURN!!!!

I'm super excited to be writing these words, Eagle Force will now return to action thanks to over 400 backers. It would not be possible, if not for you. Thank you, this is the first step toward building a much larger Eagle Force universe that we hope will expand further than action figures into other things such as comic books, video games, animation and more.
We still have over 2 weeks left, so now it's on to our stretch goals. We're already half way to unlocking the Grimm Reapers.
Keep spreading the word so we can make it all the way to the Goldie Hawks!!!
We did a couple of interviews over the last week, you can find them here:
Action Figure Insider (AFI) Facebook LIVE Q&A...Check out the AFI video archive to watch them. Part 1 and 2.

Paying it forward! Cause we’re all trying to make cool stuff!
Each update 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.
Boss Fight Studios
Boss Figure Studios did a bulk of the the initial designs for Eagle Force Returns. If you're a fan of Eagle Force, you'll love their line of Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. action figures. They still have characters from their first line up for sale on their website. Go pick up a few, you will not be disappointed.
