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!
There have been many updates posted to the Facebook page over the last few weeks. I am linking it again here so that it's available to the entire public who pledged for this project. The page and all it's info are public, so please stop by and take everything in.
Thought I would post some additional images and notes for the current round of test shots as well as a bonus couple of horse images:
Test shots for round 3 with notes on each image. 2 more will be added each day, for the next consecutive 7 days:

Keep checking back for more reveals!
Here is a link to the first images for what we will call KS 1.5. It will be comprised of 4 horses, 3 mules, the 5 remaining "locked" figures from KS 1, as well as 5 new Buck-A-Roos, and both types of Boot Hill Loot. We also plan to offer the before mentioned 2 2 packs and a final shot at the stagecoach.
Each of the 4 basic horses (black, white, red-brown, palomino) will come with one of 3 sets of tack in different colors, and the mules (gray, black, brown) will all have a pack saddles that will have some removable gear. You can click the image below for a direct link to the full album on the Facebook page.
As far as the current KS items are concerned, we had hoped that last batch of test shots would resolve all the outstanding issues (there were 17) but 7 still remain and require further tooling tweaks. Once we have these adjusted in a few weeks we move into the deco phase, and production will start. Notes on the Facebook page (which is public) as we get information.
In the interim, please enjoy the horse resin hard copy photos, and keep your eyes peeled for some more photo updates in the next couple of days.
Here are 8 of the painted (by me) resin hard copy paint masters. The other 3 are being worked on now, and will be added as quickly as they can be. For a more complete update, please visit the FB page.
While we are waiting on the next step in production in China regarding the wave one figures, design work progresses for offerings from KS 1.5 (horses and the remaining 5 figures and more) and wave 2. In an effort to fill what otherwise would be idle time during lull in activity from manufacturing (changes take time to implement), we are looking and working forward and thought you might like to see a handful of early 3d printed items for the design phase. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.
Please pardon the dog hair...that's what I get for rushing the photos...
