Now THAT’s how you kick off of a new month!
Early this morning, the Skeletron Team shared a new project update. In it, we get details on Phase B and get to feast our eyes on packaging artwork and sculpt details for SKELETRON! Check it out –
Hello Roboskullers,
We are so excited to talk about our newly shipped Retro O-Ring Wolf Trooper/Skeletron, 4″ Wolf Trooper, and 4″ Gyre Wolf, and we also have a month-end update on our Skeletron action figure!
PHASE B Deployed!
The last of our Phase B Pre-orders shipped on Tuesday, January 30th. We have already been overwhelmed by the positive reactions we’ve been receiving to these figures. To everyone who has already received their figures and shared their thoughts and photos online- THANK YOU! It really makes this journey feel worthwhile for us. Please keep them coming!
We know that many of you have not yet received your figures, and we are SO EXCITED for you to have these figures in-hand. We’ve also been fielding many questions as to when these figures will be available for purchase again. Although our store at SKELETRON.com is locked and loaded, we are going to wait at least a few more days before placing these figures into our store so that those of you who waited for such a long time can enjoy them before we offer them to the rest of the collector community.
We’d also like to again thank our collaborators on these figures, Marauder GR and Grindstone Toys! Their guidance and partnership has been crucial to the success of these figures. There have also been so, so many others who also contributed to the designs, sculpts, datafile bios, and more on these figures. We’ll be sharing more of our collaborator process online, so please keep watching.
We hope this current shipment brings you joy as you await the next phases of this project! We recognize that we still have a long way to go to completion, and our 6″ figure supporters have an even longer wait than our O-Ring and modern 4″ friends. The Roboskull® MKII is making considerable progress, though some further tooling revisions are still underway. The factory has just closed for Chinese New Year, so there will not be any significant progress in the next month. We are in ongoing meetings with our Hong Kong team, and will provide a more detailed update on the remaining phases for you in February.
Behold, SKELETRON!
Skeletron® has remained the most mysterious figure within this Kickstarter project. Today we are revealing our packaging art, the final sculpt, and some surprise additional accessories for our Red Shadows® Commander!
Alex Horley has again brought his tremendous skills to our Red Shadows packaging art. Not only did Alex paint this amazing work of art, he provided the art direction and is the mastermind behind the entire composition of this truly stunning piece. Thank you, Alex!
Dave Proctor has been an integral part of this entire project, and he also took on the task of sculpting our very special Skeletron action figure. Beyond sculpting this truly terrifying leader in incredible detail, Dave has also taken it upon himself to create an enhanced articulation method that will be first demonstrated in our 4″ , and then our 6″ Skeletron figure. More on that to come…
Keen-eyed backers may notice that we’ve re-sculpted Skeletron’s ferocious laser sword, which will now include 2 different energy blades for both “at-the-ready” and “sword-swinging” effects. Skeletron will also come with an all-new sculpt for his Ray Gun, which now also includes a blast-effect (yes, a blast effect for 4″). Lastly, we have added an “energy disc” that feeds additional power to this robotic tyrant. Our 6″ Skeletron will also include all this, and perhaps a bit more…
That is all for now, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about shipments that are currently in transit to you. The best way to reach us is at CustomerCare@Skeletron.com, though we are happy to hear from you through any method that is convenient to you. We look forward to all of you having these in-hand very soon!
THANK YOU!
