Thank you! I'm never happy with how I photograph my customs so keep delaying posting them. I gotta get on that because I have a ton finished. My Man of Evil custom is in the review actually, though that one was pretty simple...

Any idea of when we will actually get these. This project was funded on October 12, 2016. I understand delays but it has been over two years.

I’m not sure I remember either. My wife told me to face the fact that these were never gonna be made and my money was gone.

I didn't post the update from Friday because it wasn't much of an update, but it does show some progress on things.

Quick Update
Hey Everyone,Hope the new year is treating you well. Just wanted to share a quick update on the packaging. The factory is working on sizing up the backer cards for the figures, here are a couple of images.

I don't think we're going to hear much from them until later February as Chinese New Year starts soon.

It's always something with these guys......someone else is doing something or it's Chinese New Year. Glad I didn't invest in these, even though I really wanted to.

Chinese New Year is the bane of pretty much every toy / boardgame Kickstarter...

I don’t care about packaging, just drop them I a ziplock like MGR and I’m good cause I’m opening faster than a cat kid opening chocolate.

I messaged them through Facebook and got a reply back. They told me it was looking like may before we get these.

The packaging stuff should be digital designs one can printout and assemble oneself, imho. I've been collecting toys for 41 straight years and I have like maybe 10 packages kept solely for the purpose of retaining parts and storage for the very high-end items like my GoodSmile Tachikoma and MicroMan ScopeDogs. 99.99...% of toy packaging is literal garbage.

I'm with you. It's literally a waste for the majority of collectors.

I open almost everything. My son keeps his stuff in their packaging. I may have 3 to 4 items in a package. I have been collecting off and on since for over 40 year also. I just want the toys in my hands.

Factory challenges update...
Posted by Bill Murphy (Creator)
Hey Everyone,

Sadly I don’t have much to report as it’s Chinese New Year and the factories in China go dark for most of late Jan - late Feb.

I breaks me to write these monthly updates, will little news of progress. The factory in China we chose to do business with has not held up their end nor been able to commit to a realistic schedule. They continue to make empty promises to us on delivery timelines for all of our current projects including Eagle Force, Larry Hama and Amazing Heroes. This is not only effecting our business but Spero toys as well, who produce the "Animal Warriors of the Kingdom" line. Although this factory was able to produce their initial wave, they has fallen behind with subsequent waves.

There is some light at the end of this tunnel, a few industry veterans who are currently working in China have generously offered to help us get our projects back on track after Chinese New Year. They and their team will be visiting the factory and help project manage our projects to completion. I am very confident with their help, we can turn a corner and get these figures in your hands with the quality you expect. We’ll of course keep you updated as the factory returns from Chinese New Year next month, as well be communicating with them daily.

Many of you have asked about future waves and other projects, please understand that those need to be on “pause" for now until we get these figures in your hands.

Thanks again sticking with us as we continue to work though these challenges. As always please feel free to reach out to us directly with any questions, as you know we are here and not going anywhere.

FMF

There does appear to be incremental progress happening. The money was spent so long ago now that I can't even muster any emotion one way or the other. I just hope that once they get through this they're able to leverage what they've learned going forward because I do think they have some cool concepts. I love MTF and HACKS, but MTF doesn't create "characters" they just make figures, and HACKS has some really cool characters, but the storyline is so far removed from the rest of my 4in collection in scope and time period, it just doesn't hit the same buttons that Eagle Force (and some of the other planned lines) does. So, while yeah, this has been ridiculous, and frustrating, I do want them to have success.

Completely agree.... It's already pretty foggy what I ordered...and I just don't care that much (I got the Firebug? army builders and one regular guy... Harley? Sapper? can't remember). It will be nice if I get them but....ehhhhh.
