This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
I hope you all are safe and are having a great New Year. The shipment left the factory before Christmas and is on it's way to the US. This could take 4-6 weeks pending customs. With that said it's now time to get those addresses updated.
You should be getting a email from Backerkit within the next few days with a link to update your address. You'll have 48hrs to update your address. If you don't need to update your address we'll process your order with the address you provided when you filled out your survey.
It's very important that you update your address if you have moved. I cannot stress this enough. If you do not update your address and we ship to an address that you have provided we cannot guarantee your delivery. If the package is "returned to sender" and we do get it back you'll need to pay for a re-delivery.
Once the Backerkit emails go out, I'll send a reminder update, so in case you did not get your email you can contact us to modify your address.
We've been doing some live streams on the Fresh Monkey Fiction Facebook Page over the last month. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, so you can check out the streams as we unbox more of the figures.
Here are the last few we did.
We’ll be doing more live streams to unbox the rest of the figures, so please follow us on Facebook so you can ask questions live during the live-stream.
All of the domestic orders have shipped. If you are an international backer you should have gotten an email from me to confirm your address. If you didn’t get the email or didn’t confirm your address please email us at <freshmonkeyfiction@gmailcom> asap so we can prep your order.
These will ship out to you in January once you confirm your address. If you have any issues with your playset you can contact D&J Toys directly at <[email protected]> and please cc us at <freshmonkeyfiction@gmailcom> to get your issue resolved.
Another reminder that is you backed the R.I.O.T. Stealth Pilot figure from our Eagle Force Trading Card kickstarter, this figure will come with the rest of your figures when we start shipping.
Once all orders have been filled we will be offering Eagle Force Wave 5 (Waves 1-4 were part of this Kickstarter). Wave 5 will have 6 characters and be available exclusively via pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store, but there is the catch. We’ll need to meet our minimum quantity order requirements to make these figures. We’ll keep pre-orders open for 6 weeks and we’ll be posting progress on solical media plus we will have a page on our website where you can monitor the progress of the pre-orders.
Each figure in Wave 5 will have what we’re calling a Build-A-Trooper feature..which means each character will come with multiple heads and accessories you can mix and match. The Build-A-Trooper figures are basically a kit..so you can glue on the attachments you want to display on your figure. Here is an image of our new dessert officer/trooper as an example.
Shortly after that we will run a our next Kickstarter…this will be for Wave 6 - The Eagle Force Classic wave. This wave will feature many of the original members of Eagle Force in gold outfits with younger face portraits. We’ll be previewing some images of this wave after we fill all the orders for our this Kickstarter. We still have plans for our other Eagle Force lines, like Monster Force and Ninja Force but those will be later in 2021.
Thanks again for all the support everyone, more updates will be coming as soon as the figures land.

Hey Everyone,
The factory is finalizing production and starting to package the cartons for shipment. I was hoping these would hit the boat to the U.S.A. in November , but it’s looking like they’ll hit the boat in a couple weeks. See clips below of the final assembly as well as our extra head sets.
If all goes well with customs we’ll have the figures in hand in mid/late January so we can start fulfillment sometime in February. Fulfillment will take a couple months as we get all the orders out, we’ll keep you updated but we ask for just a bit more of your patience as we get the figures out the door. We’re just as excited as you are to finally get these figures in your hands.
If you were a part of the Eagle Force Trading Card Kickstarter and ordered a RIOT Stealth Pilot that figure it will ship with your order from this campaign.
If you ordered a custom figure, those will be delivered separately toward the end of our fulfillment cycle, as we need to customize your figure once we get our figures delivered.
Once the figures hit the boat we will be locking in address and will send notifications for you to adjust your address in our system. We’ll send an update when we send those out, so you can look in your email box.
I just wanted to mention the for those of you who ordered the Eagle Island and accessories, all domestic orders have been shipped and the international orders will ship in early January. If you have any issues or need to contact D&J you can email direct at [email protected] please cc [email protected] on any correspondence so we can make sure any issues are resolved.
Thanks everyone, we are so excited to get these figures in your hands.

A hint of what's to come in 2021
Here are a few images of the packaging samples. There are a few minor issues with some of the figures..missing paint apps or missing accessories, so we need to get those adjusted but for the most part these look pretty good. We broke up the kickstarter figures into 4 waves of 8 characters each.
Just got a box full of Eagle Force goodness from the factory. Packaging samples of each of the figures. I haven't even looked at them all yet but wanted to share this unboxing video. FYI there is no audio.
More images to come soon! All I can say is I am so impressed by the work the new factory is doing. Our "buddy" TD wanted to use a rope instead of a chain for Kayo's nunchucks...ugh so glad to be rid of that dude. I'll be inspecting each figure this week so the factory can get notes before they finalize production.
Also..don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for a series of photos of the figures by @actionfigurefotos. Here are a couple more...
