Looks like you were dead on Hypno.
Hey Everyone,
The factory has started setting up the paint samples along with the tampos.

They tell me we should have most of them for Designer Con in November. They also mentioned that they will have some production samples available soon. These would be single color figures that happen to be whatever color plastic the factory has in the machines that day. My thought is to sell them to Kickstarter backers 1st (limited 1 per order) then any left overs will be available at the show. I'll plan on selling them for $30 each and if there is a demand for more we can ask the factory to make some for us next year. I'll post them for sale once they are in hand, which I'm guessing will be in late October. In no way are these exclusive, I just thought this would be a good way to get a few figures in peoples hands before we deliver. What do you think? Please feel free to comment below.
On that note, now that they have the paint masters the factory is telling me delivery should be happening in Q1 next year. I wish it was gonna be sooner but there are over 30 figures to produce which comes down to around 20,000 units. This is the latest info I have, as things continue to move ahead I'll be updating with more info.
Thanks
