    I was wondering that myself. Given that the KS one comes with at least two different faces, it seems like it shouldn't be too hard.

    @CZ Hazard and caved, didn't see a place for notes though? I would prefer a white prospector.

    The Prospect assembles really easy, we're looking at doing different Prospect riders in time.


    Yeah, the 850 sets were allocated for the KS allotment, so they would ship out at the same time in Bastard boxes. There are a lot of weapons but not enough for unique weapons each, this should be rectified by the time we ship out weapons packs (to be listed on the website later).

    Thanks for your patience with my lack of response, I'm still Stateside reliant on wifi for data, and working NYCC (Charity gig for Comic Book Legal Defence Fund), back in Blighty on the 10th Oct.

    Weapon pack planned is good enough for me! I am all in on this line, can't wait for yamazuki KS to begin.

    Hi, I don't know if this has already been asked an answered, but are any parts of the Bastards made of unpaintable plastics, and are there any major breakage risks in taking a figure apart for painting?

    I just got an "Order Complete" email for my 850 package ordered through the site, should I take this as the fabled shipping announcement or close to it?! The hype is real.

    Doubtful, CenoKibble probably would show off picks of completed packaging and products when its time

    True, but it is likely very soon now if they are changing status.

    Agreed, my order updating Sunday made me hyped, it now says it’s on hold on the website, so crossing fingers that it rolls out in the coming week or so. I know first shipment will only be the 7 and the heads and th prospect, but I am still most hyped for Otomo.

    Hey guys, we have a full update going out tomorrow including full in-hand painted final samples, very exciting. Waiting for full feedback to put that live.

    Apparently we got the packaging art files late so we're still waiting for packaging production and then all things are go, so November is looking very likely!

    At least you're 6 hours ahead of me so hopefully I'll wake up to a nice surprise

    Me too! Probably my most anticipated figures at the moment

    Finally we have production colour samples of The Unrustable Bastards as a test-shot!

    Everything is very good, couple of joints need to be tightened and then we;ll be moving into production. Packaging artwork is finished and complete and I'll be sharing that within the next week or so. I hear from the factory liason that we're entering production soon, but as it's a complex build with a lot of parts to be sorted (we've had to mold sprue numbers for the 30 odd different heads!!!) it could be as much as 30-45 days. We hope it's the shorter end of the time frame as we would like these in hand for Xmas, and would very much like them to ship in the year we intended. I was really hoping we'd ship these out ahead of the June 2017 estimate, but better to do it right than quick, although both would have been nice. One of the double-edged swords of the industry is that we could have potentially got these done quicker if we'd gone to a less reputable factory, but there's a reason the good factories have a long waiting time.

    Here is a full gallery, shared here first as you're the good bastards! Also included are samples of the Riders in Spector Rogue colours.
    I might get some photos of the Spector Rogues production sample in the next week, and you'll see them here first! Very exciting stuff as we never had even a resin version in those colours, just digibashes.


    As always, thanks for the support.
