Hey everyone
The factory send over some images of the figures on the cards...Please note these were just to make sure the right figure was placed on the right cardback. The figure will be packaged with their gear on, like hats, vests, jackets..etc. Also there are still a few adjustments we are making to the paint apps so you'll see some issues that still need to be adjusted. Regardless, it's still this is great to see progress being made. As you can see it's a lot of figures.
We're also taking some images of the final produciton pieces of the figures that dont need any adjustments. More to come on that...but here is a quick teaser.
In other Eagle Force news... Zica Toys is taking the Eagle Force license to a great place...with classic retro 3 3/4" O-Ring style figures. Check out their early promo image of the R.I.O.T. Commando.
Also, just as a heads up we are indeed planning a wave 2. We wont be revealing much until the wave 1 figures are shipped but here is an early look at one of the RIOT Commando figures for a future wave next year. Moving forward most figures will come with additional heads, hands and accessories.
We'll keep sending updates as we have them.
Thanks

August Update: In Progress Production Images

Hey Everyone,
The factory is underway with production. Here are a few in progress images, you’ll see some missing detials, unfinished parts and some overspray, all these issues will be fixed and finalized before they are done. The factory is hoping for completion in Oct and I hope to have these in hand in November. I should have some packaging samples in about 3 weeks. Overall these are looking good and the figures should be on par with our Larry Hama figure. Lots of figures here and normally our project Mgr Chris would be in China at this stage to oversee production, but with Covid it's just not possible. So we have to send lots of notes.
July Update..

Hey Everyone,
Sorry about the lack of updates. We’ve been revising some of the paint samples for the factory. We were not happy with some of the details, and as TD lost the original painted prototypes we needed to make some adjustments on the samples the factory sent to us. Between adjustments and shipping these back to China this took about a month. You can see some of the images below. They were minor changes but important ones to really bring out the sculpting details on the figures.
The factory has these now and will begin production when they reopen in 3 weeks. Like the rest of the world Covid is still effecting things globally. They gave us a new completion date at the end of Sept so we expect the figures sometime on Oct.
We have shipped our Larry Hama figure (which uses Eagle Force parts) to backers of that kickstarter and overall we’ve had some great positive feedback on the quality of the figure. Pre-order here if you are interested. We should see the same, if not better quality in the Eagle Force line. You can read a review here or watch a review here.
Once manufacturing starts we’ll send over images as we have them.
Thanks

Samples in hand..

Hey everyone!
We finally got our samples in hand. We took some images that we wanted to share.
They came out great. We have a few minor paint touch ups that we need to do and we’ll ship them back to the factory so we can begin production.
The samples took much longer than we thought..I had many notes, so this did effect our timeline. It’s looking like we won’t have product in hand till August.
To make up for it the factory hoping to include an extra set of hands with each figure, as well as some "other stuff" that will remain a surprise until we ship. If we can pull off the "other stuff" I think you’ll be happy. None of this makes up for the delay but I’m excited that we are on track. We just got production samples of our Larry Hama figure (which uses the Eagle Force tools) so I’m confident that we’ll have a great set of figures when we’re done.
We also wanted to mention that Chris our Project Mgr, having funded his Space Force Kickstarter, has launched a follow up called American Presidents. You can find it on Kickstarter here.
Like Space Force these figures will be compatible with Eagle Force so if he funds we’ll have access to the parts to use with future Eagle Force waves.
Thanks again for sticking with us.

Some more images...

Small update.
The factory is still working on the samples..they just sent over some images of the tampos that will get applied to the figures...for example the Eagle Force insignia and other logos.
The rest of the parts of figures in these images are just rough paint samples to match the paint masters.
I'll upload more images as I have them.
