    I like the orange. I wonder if it could be done in translucent orange like LEGOs. :)

    Killed it for me. Not digging the Halloween look.

    I REALLY want those "tech drones", but there's no guarantee that they'll be one of the stretch goals. I'll be all in if they can make it there. Good luck guys!

    Has anyone heard anything from this idea and potentially revisiting it?

    I think the people behind this helped out other action figure Kickstarters, which were more successful.

    A couple PWTToo designs made it to Shapeways through Trent Troop.

    Thanks for that link might have to grab some they even have some battle beasts and dino rider stuff that looks good

    I loved the pwtt designs and was hoping they might be revisited with the surge of 3d party and customizers if we can get some of these designs made. Is it possible to contact the original designer I couldn't find any contacts

    Rik Alvarez does a YouTube show. Not sure if he reads the comments.



    The last we heard officially, that I am aware of, was the interview 6 years ago.



    So the news to take away from this video, as I see it is:

    1. They will be staying far away from Kickstarter.

    2. The 6 inch figures on are on the back burner. It is possible they will get made if another company is interested in producing their design

    3. The weapons and tech drones they designed may go on to Shapeways for people to print out (please let them know if you are interested!).

    4. Rik was approached by 2 different manufacturers at TFcon Charlotte. Some toys will end up getting made in partnership with another third party company with PWTToo doing design.

    Thanks so much for the insights and the videos I'm going to go through them and try to contact Rik directly. I Hate kickstarter got screwed a couple of times for sellers that didn't make good on funded things and here we had someone who would have made good but was shy of funding. I k ow this is an old topic but came across it and resparked my interest and see if anyone else's interest as well.

    Since no one ever did anything with them I was considering trying to recreate some of the weapons in CAD and print my own. I think I can at least handle these and give them to Pretender Starscream.

    That is cool I'm a novice at designing and only have tinkercad. At my disposal so that level of quality it far from me. Would love to be able to design and print things like the figures from this line. Maybe Rik would do some thing like file sales or teach how to do it lol.

    If Rik or Trent put the files on Cults3D or somesuch that would be awesome. Maybe we could turn it into a community developed action figure line?

    That would be great or a way to get it going maybe link up with a established group to get them made. It's a great community and fan base to expand to these great ideas.
