Chicken Fried Toys Dime Novel Legends 1:18th Action Figures

Created by Chicken Fried Toys, LLC

Welcome to the Backerkit for the the Dime Novel Legends, presented by Chicken Fried Toys. Working with Boss Fight Studio (control art/tampos/consulting) and Smalljoes.com (distribution), these 3.75 to 4 inch action figures are a "little" slice of the Old West. Our figures are fully articulated modern style versions of Iconic Western Heroes and Legends. Each figure features at minimum 17 points of articulation, with removable coats, vest, belts, weapons and hats! These characters are compatible and play alongside with many modern action figure lines such as Boss Fight Studio's own Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S., Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Marauder Task Force, Zombie Lab, Animal Warriors of the Kingdom and more! The lineup is slated to have 11 characters in it's initial offering. Look for more information on our Facebook page as we develop new and exciting offerings for series 1.5 and series 2! Yee-Haw!

Latest Images from early production runs in China

Our factory rep was kind enough to send us some images of early production on many accessories and secondaries from the factory floor in China.  You can see those photos and my comments by following this link:

The factory is back to work, and we expect to see more images of fully painted and assembled figures shortly.  I have samples of 3 in hand from last month, that I will add here when I can get some good representative photos taken ASAP.  

Another set of factory paint samples updates!

If you follow the link, the latest batch of paint sample pics is in for some of the parts.  I expect to have the samples in hand for approval before Chinese New Year in a few weeks, so look for more updates then.  We're just about at the finish line finally, and I think everyone (us included) can let go of some anxiety.  Enjoy the pics, and as always I can be contacted quickly and directly on the Facebook page for Chicken Fried Toys - Dime Novel Legends!

Just got in the files for the tampo files to create the patterns on the Saloon Bartender vest, and the striped legs for the Ranch Hand and Territories Lawman.  Thought you guys might like to see inside the process a little bit.  Fantastic work by Catrina at Boss Fight for us.

Test Shot Parts Bags
over 5 years ago – Fri, Nov 02, 2018 at 09:28:45 PM

I've already done this once on the FB page, but for the 3 or 4 holdouts here who refuse to use that venue, here is a good reason.  I have bagged up 100 more sets of test shot parts (guns, vests, coats, hats, holsters, belts, etc...) and am making those available to the public so you guys can have some early parts to play with and just check out. 

Details are found on the FB page as an announcement at the top.  Please take a moment to read through the process before contacting me so it will help keep all this straight and make it go smoothly.  Thanks!
