Oh heck yeah, check this out! The team at the Skeletron has shared a new update that includes details on the gorgeous packaging art for Gyre Wolf, done by Alex Horley! The artwork was revealed as part of an overall update that will follow the initial post. Here’s the scoop –

SKELETRON is thrilled to reveal the next stunning packaging art illustration of our Red Shadows® action figure line by world-renowned artist Alex Horley.

GYRE WOLF™ at 4”, 1:18 scale is in production and will be offered for pre-order until the end of this month (11/30/23), with all proceeds from the figures to be passed on to the family of Gary “Goggles” Head. We hope GYRE WOLF can bring another slice of joy to everyone who knew Gary, and for those of you who didn’t have the opportunity to know him, we hope you find the figure to be visually striking and a lot of fun!

Kickstarter progress update for all Kickstarter backers and BackerKit pre-order customers –

Hello Roboskullers!

The SKELETRON Crew was in full force in attendance at the Assembly Required GI Joe convention in Des Moines, Iowa last weekend.  Thank you to the incredible team at Codename: Iowa for hosting this event, to the wonderful vendors, and to all of you who made the journey (and especially fellow Roboskuller Mark Seddon, who flew to us from the UK)!

It was so much fun to catch up with friends and great to be able to show our progress to fellow Roboskullers at the event-  test shots, factory samples, and new packaging.

It is with great excitement that we reveal to you the next packaging art illustration by world-renowned artist Alex Horley- GYRE WOLF!

We hope you’ll agree this piece is nothing short of spectacular, and Horley’s artwork also hints at something special about GYRE WOLF’s capabilities, yet to be revealed.   A few GYRE facts:

• File Name:  Gary Goggles
• All proceeds from the sale of GYRE WOLF go to the family of Gary “Goggles” Head
• GYRE WOLF was not a part of the Roboskull MKII Kickstarter, but was made available as an add-on during the BackerKit
• GYRE WOLF’s datafile bio was written by Glenn Winkler, who along with some other friends, assisted us in creating elements of the GYRE WOLF character
• Pre-orders for 4″ GYRE WOLF will close at month end (11/30)

Production at our factory continues for our next wave of fulfillment:

• 4″ Marauder WOLF TROOPER
• 4″ Marauder GYRE WOLF
• 3.75″ Grindstone Retro SKELETRON/WOLF TROOPER

We will end pre-orders for these three items on November 30th, and production of these figures may still finish in time to allow product to arrive in the US before year-end!

We continue to make tooling progress on the ROBOSKULL MKII vehicle, and all molded first shot parts should be completed in the next few short weeks.  We recently received test shots for the “Breath of Death” lightning blast effect, and are excited to share these images with you.  We were not satisfied with the overall sculpt of this blast effect on our prototype, so Mark O’Byrne created a new sculpt to better capture the “crackling lightning” effect, and we absolutely love the final effect!

Here’s also a first look at the first shot Prisoner Transport (& Skeledrone Transport), which is looking absolutely fantastic:

As we approach Thanksgiving and the 2-year mark of the Kickstarter ending, we are so thankful for the support you have provided, and the support you continue to provide.  Your continued positivity is so appreciated, especially given that we’ve fallen short of our target date for fulfillment.  You’re all awesome, and we remain entirely dedicated to providing you with the best, most kickass toys possible.

THANK YOU!

-SKELETRON Crew

I’m honored to be able to add Gary to my collection and even moreso knowing all of the TLC that went in behind the scenes (ie – Glen writing his bio, et al).

This campaign has been nothing short of spectacular since the beginning, so I can only imagine just how epic the product is going to be in hand. Stay tuned!
