Callsign: Longbow September 2024 Update

Heads up! The team at Grindstone Toys has shared the September 2024 update for Callsign: Longbow, covering incoming product, production status and convention plans. Check it out –

Hello CALLSIGN: LONGBOW® Backers!

We’re back with the September 2024 LONGBOW® Update.

GHOST UPDATE

A GHOST is lurking nearby!

Ghost figures have arrived at a US port! The container is currently on a customs hold. Once it is released, our fulfillment partner is ready to start shipping ADVANCE DEPLOYMENT packages out to Backers ASAP.

Because this figure has hit the US, we have removed it from the Backerkit pre-order store. We have also removed other ADVANCED DEPLOYMENT items (Comics, Patches, Battle Stands). We’ll share more information about how these items will be available in the future.

If you have not already, please make sure your address is correct in BackerKit.

LANCER UPDATE

Last month we showed you some newly tooled ABS test shot parts from LANCER. Not long after that update, we received some images of those parts assembled. At this point, the PVC parts were not available so this body is shown with with Ghost’s head and hands.

You can see how the proportions on the figures match up and how they will be uniform across the line.

Tooling Update

Our factory partners have shared these images of “Raw Molds” being adjusted for parting lines. This is important to set up how deep each part should be set in the mold.

In this picture, you will see some PVC accessory parts here for Uptown, Spetsnaz, and Volk.
