For those of you who may not watch videos, frequent The Fwoosh message boards, or follow us on Instagram, to address the most frequent question we get on a reoccurring basis: When are we getting our damn ninjas? The answer is still looking like the 4th quarter of this year. We do not have a finalized production schedule yet and will be sure to share it with you as soon as we do.
The reason we don’t have a finalized production schedule yet? We are on a mission to make the best possible action figures that we can.
Shortly after San Diego Comic Con, the AI design team were sent first shots from the factory. To say that we were impressed with these initial injection molded prototypes of our line of action figures is the understatement of the century. Now, as expected, there were some issues, but we sat down and compiled a list, took photographs, did overlays, and sent it all back to the factory to make the minor revisions, tweaks, and nitpicks that we came up with (and that some of you will likely notice in the pictures below).
Before we get to those pictures, let me also note that we added the string to the bow ourselves in the below images. I don’t believe we will be able to include the string in production, but it was a very easy thing to do (we simply bought some string from the string store and tied it to either end of the bow).
So, here are some pictures of the first shots, look for more updates in the coming weeks with news regarding packaging, painted samples, and when we are finally getting these damn ninjas in our hands. Enjoy!
