Missing parts update...impact for fulfillment

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

Backers
Heads up, shipping starts this week. It's going to take a month+ to get all orders out the door and I'll keep you updated along the way. We'll start with US domesitc orders then move to international orders.
Please be patient with us, tracking numbers will go out to the email you used for BackerKit when your items are shipped. We'll be updating you as we go. I would ask you hold off on asking us for your tracking number until we have shipped out all our orders.
FYI there is a special surprise in every order that, although will not make up for the delays, I hope you enjoy.
Thanks!

I have waited 4+ years to write that.
The shipment just landed at Zica's warehouse and we'll be inspecting it over the next couple weeks to make sure everything is right and we can start fullfillment. More images soon.
If you need to change your address now is the time, please contact us at [email protected] and let us know your new address so we can lock everything in.
Lots more to follow but wanted to let everyone know the latest and greatest.
Thanks again to all of you who have stuck with us on this crazy ride. Many others would have given up, but we have all persivered and I can't thank you enough for all the support.

Hey everyone
Well the good news is the shipment is out of customs and has made it's way across the US to Illinois, but it has been stuck there for 3 weeks because of weather...ugh, so the journey continues.
I'll keep everyone updated as it makes it way to it's final destination.
As we await the shipment we have been prepping our next Kickstarter...Eagle Force Classics. I am super excited about this next wave. If you love the classic figures in their gold outfits I think you're going to love it. We have over 25 figures planned, including stretch goals. I'm not planning on showing much cause we want to get wave 1 delivered and in your hands, but if you are curious how we design the figures and decide what colors and parts to use..check out this in progress layout sheet for the Big Bro. We're looking to launch the Kickstarter for Classics in mid summer. My hope is you'll love wave 1 and want to join us for future waves now that the factory issues are behind us.
In other Kickstarter news..please check out the next volume of TOYS THAT TIME FORGOT VOLUME 3
A(nother) book about unproduced toys.
I have the 1st 2 volumes and they are amazing...if you are interested in unproduced toys, this is the book for you. If we're lucky maybe I can convince them to cover Eagle Force in Volume 4.
Thanks everyone

Quick Update on shipping...

Hey all.
Just wanted to let you know we are still waiting on our shipment from China. Covid has been screwing up many shipments via freight from China. It was suposed to land in the port last week but it got delayed two weeks...ugh. See lastest FedEx Report. It left in the middle of Decemeber but it looks like it's going to take well over 8 weeks to get to us. Once it lands at the port it needs to go through customs and then make it's way across the US to our warehouse.
Not great news, but just wanted to keep everyone updated...
Also..if you ordered a Eagle Island Playset for international shipping and you didn't email me your current address please do so ASAP, so we can get your playset in the mail to you.
Thanks
FMF
