    Part designer update us with "KOlydor" head for KAT-01 WNR-type
    [​IMG]


    Big updates!!!!

    today we receive test shot images from factory....they make small mistake and forget to make some parts black....but they will fix on next version.

    [​IMG]

    very exciting to see real version!

    FAQs - We have many good questions, so start putting them at top!




    This is VERY important for everyone to undrstand.

    -We cannot do a smaller run, goal is based on the minimum order required from the factory for the custom colored toy
    -If the project does not reach it's goal
    ---NO ONE is charged any money
    ---NO TOYS GET MADE
    ---Probably the factory won't do any more business with us

    -Even if you don't like the charcaters we're doing today EVERY FAN WHO LIKES THE IDEA OF OUR PROJECT SHOULD PLEDGE AT LEAST A SMALL AMOUNT
    ---You don't have to pay ANY money right now
    ---You will not be charged if we fail to meet our goal
    ---If you help us meet our goal for this project, THEN we can do other characters/molds

    It's now or never!!!!!


    SMOG asks:

    That is correct...just like Kickstarter.

    A little risky for us...we may get no money...factory may not want to do business with us again...we have to give up project.

    But alternative is "fundanything" or similar site where we get money no matter what..that is VERY risky for customers...could raise $US 20,000....not enough to have toys made...but enough for new car!

    We would not do that...but as new company...why should you trust us with your money? This way we ONLY get money if we have enough to get toys made. No toys, no money for anyone. Is safest thing for customers...and we want to make everyone feel confident!!!!!


    total order is actually much larger....is different from Hasbro or taraka when they want botcon toy....factory does not do custom color without BIG order.

    If we get total fund we can pay for order....but will still have many units left over and no profit...break even...we are hoping that we can make money on selling left overs slowly...and that good will of fandom will help us to support new project.


    We choose this factory because quality is almost identical to oroiginal...we want to make real fan goods.

    Picking factory and designs that are good....just making sure color and designs also awesome.

    You should post this in the third party forum as you will draw a lot more attention there and can keep all info updated there.

    I like big bots and I cannot lie...

    Are these a mass produced custom from the Alteration Man KO of Universe Ultra Onslaught that was released in 2013? Is this endorsed by Machine Boy?

    Well that's certainly interesting.

    I nominate the TFTM Incinerator mold for Obsidian.

    I think you might have to nominate a mold that has been mass KO'd for him to work from first.

    Interesting indeed.

    Will the head be balljointed, or just a swivel joint like the original? I'm assuming there's no electronics after all.

    we are working with shantaou lead sails toys...who also make machine boy...not decided yet packaging design...but probably default.



    First design was picked from



    G2

    grimlock

    snaptrap

    and "red" version with multiple heads to be autoluncher optimus etc.

    toy will come with default electronics, cost to change sound very expensive.

    we are trying to work with different company for big energon heli toy...possible 2nd release...or if sales big part of first....for obsidian

    Not really for me, but mainly because I'm ambivalent about the character. I do like the idea of doing FunPub style releases like this.

    It makes sense to get some fans who have redeco ideas and the KO makers together to make some customs. Meng Badi already KO'd the Onslaught and Hardhead versions of this toy. Might as well release it with different heads and decos!

    Plan is $US 30 for basic figure in default package....we will be having heads and bonus part produced seperately...custom packagage too...full figure will only be $45...we hope that is acceptable.
