Grindstone Toys have shared a new update on their CALLSIGN: LONGBOW campaign! The latest update gives details on the Ghost sample we saw last year, Convention circuit details, the Ghost Wolf figure now hitting inboxes and the scoop on the oh-so-awesome MTF: RETRO-OPS offering! Here’s the scoop –
Hello CALLSIGN: LONGBOW® Backers!
Ghost Sample Notes and Paint Masters
This month we returned our first round of notes on the Ghost sample we first saw at the end of November bringing us closer to production. We also sent the paint masters for the other figures to our partners at Spartan Toys. these will be used to create samples for the rest of the line.
MTF: RETRO-OPS
Our last two figures, the MTF: RETRO-OP and ADAPT TROOPER are working their way through the final sculpting phase. For these two figures, we opted to work with the same team that does all the sculpting on MARAUDER TASKFOCE figures. It was important for us that this Marauder O-ring be a true “Gun Runner” figure through and through. We’ll continue to share more about these two figures in the months ahead. Please enjoy these in-progress sculpt images of the MTF: RETRO-OPS figure.
ROBOSKULL MKII Retro O-ring Wolf Trooper Shipping
Our friends at SKELETRON have begun shipping their PHASE B action figures. This phase includes 4″ Marauder WOLF TROOPER, 4″ Marauder GYRE WOLF, and 3.75″ Grindstone Retro O-ring SKELETRON/WOLF TROOPER. Although the 3.75″ Retro figure is not a CALLSIGN: LONGBOW® figure, it does share tooling with our Deluxe GHOST figure and is a great example of the quality of what we are pursuing with LONGBOW® production.
These figures are temporarily unavailable while initial crowdfunding orders are filled. If you missed out on these great figures, keep your eyes peeled on https://skeletron.com/ for more info on when these figures will be available again.
