First off, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Happy *insert your beliefs here*!

A big thanks to all those who contributed to make these repaints happen. And thank you to those who wanted to contribute but could not for various reasons. This has been a huge boost to the project overall. When building all new tooling for a figure it is vital to get the most use out of that tooling. Because I can now produce additional repaints there is a much greater chance of the project making it's money back which means more new figures in the future. And that is my goal, to continue to provide new O-ring figures to fill all the empty holes Hasbro had left in people's collections when they stopped producing O-rings. By helping this project you have in term helped yourselves and helped the community as a whole.

All contributors should have received a survey from Kickstarter. I guess you cannot choose multiple choices in the survey so please note which figures and how many in the multiples section.

For those who were late or unable to contribute. And those who may want more than what you "preordered". All 8 of these figures will be available in ample supply once production has completed.

News on the production front. Full mass production is set to begin this week. Below are test shots of the finalized tooling. We were unable to fix the waist (I hope to do so at a later time and provide them for free to those who purchased), however the swivel arms have been completed and the figure has swivel wrists as well. There still has been some question, yes the figures will be fully painted in factory.

This isn't really an update. The manufacturer sent me some pictures of hand painted samples of each figure. They are completely hand painted. They are testing out colors for the painted parts. The final production parts will of course be molded in the base colors and the painted parts will be applied with paint masks. The colors are not final and some of them will be corrected like Trooper's shirt color. I thought I would share the first examples of the figures colored.

The one at the bottom corner seems like a :scarlett: more "uniform" with the other founders.

These look fantastic. Five great and distinctive color schemes. The swivel hands are a great detail...great for holding weapons and still keeps the look "vintagey".
