Update, but not really. Money for tooling has changed hands and been confirmed on receipt. I am working trying to finish up the hard copies to send to China at end of month along with hand painted samples and a "bible" for color guides and builds. Our sculptor is adding a screw closure to the torso and thighs to make customs super easy, and numbering parts for sure assembly during manufacture.
Once that is finished, I'll be back to work on the Backerkit survey. Keep an eye open on the Facebook page for updates on the BK and the date when it will be turned on. Sorry for the delays. I need an assistant.
Have a very merry christmas, and holiday season! John @CFT

I've been busy working on the Backerkit and realized I'd forgotten to post a list of all the items we'll have available. We are planning to let the Backerkit survey run into the end of February, and do a charge for items bought at the end of each week during that period. This will allow you to buy as you go, and allow us to channel these funds as they come in weekly to the manufacturing process in China.
Also, we are going to be reaching out to our sculptors next week and getting work on the horses/stage started. Updates on that process as it moves along. There will most likely have to be another KS for that process due to the cost of tooling and development, but if that's the case, we'll also add on the additional 4 figures from this KS and the 2 pack to fill things out. More info soon.

Not much info this week, as we are still working on prep to send things to China and get started into preproduction. The money finally cleared our account, and we are going to start parceling it out where it needs to go.
Backerkit survey is shooting to go LIVE! on this Saturday night or Sunday morning. We are going to let it run for a bit, and will announce the close date at least 10 days ahead of time. I know that this is not an ideal time of year, but we have to start making moves to keep our production schedule intact and avoid any delays on our side.
Work on resin hard copies is in progress and will be shown before they leave for China as well as fully painted samples. Next step on them is to get a copy to our friend Catrina at Boss Fight Studio for work on the tampos for the vest pattern and striped pants. Fun stuff!
Anyway, that's your weekly update for now, and we'll have more info for you in no more than 7 days (even if there's no info). Thank you for your support!
