Hey Everyone!
We've received samples of the first run of painted sculpts from the factory this morning! These were done by hand as they wanted confirmation and notes before they cut the Spray tooling. We have also included the notes on paint details to be added.
Fae Empress
(Eyes will be painted same color as wings)
Cthulhu
(Eyes and 3rd eye details will be painted yellow.)
Ryu
(Center Chest gem and eyes will be painted Light Blue)
Nightmare
(Eyes will be given white and black detail [See Nightmare Splash Art below]. Blue plate arm and shoulder armor will be purple gray.)
Grakthar
(Eyes will be painted Red. Teeth will be the same "Cool grey" as armor.)
Doc Splosion
(Eyes and Bottle in the right hand will be painted light Blue.)
Mechabot
(No changes, it looks awesome!)
Captain Boat
(Sail Eye will be painted blue as shown in spec sheet below)

Hey! Happy November! We are super excited to show you a bunch of new production content updates!
We just got first printed components, first runs at packaging, and off-tooling sculpts! We also should be getting the paint tests next week! There are some small updates needed, but everything is coming together amazingly!
We are sorry for the delays, but we're working with the factory through Covid-related obstacles to get this to you as soon as possible. These are big next steps and we are getting close to going into full production! The plan is to have a full production schedule finalized by end of next week and we hope to include it alongside the paint test images. Thanks so much for bearing with us!
Mini Revisions + Delays

Hello! Here are some progress photos of the paper products and miniatures! As you can see from the photos, the minis still need work.
We would rather have the mini's look GREAT (and take a little longer) than send out something that doesn't look good. Thank you for your patience!

Here's some progress on the sampling process, everything is done and we're now just waiting for the miniatures and plastic insert, we will work out a set of sample with grey miniatures first, since we still need time to set up the spray mask and tooling for painting. Hopefully the first prototype will be ready within this week!

Hey everyone! Factory update: The test shot for the miniatures (T2) was finished last week, there were some issues so the molds and the revisions are already in process as the factory works to refine/fitting the mold. We're going to have Test 3 on Sept 18th and should be sharing results that week!
We are also waiting on sampling of printing components hoping to get photos by next week.
We're including some photos of the current molds
Thanks,
Team Kess
