4/15/18 - Updates, final numbers, production schedule, noveltiesHey everyone sorry for the lack of update since our GB ended, been busy fine tuning the details with SP, but I wanted to give everyone an update on where we're at!
Final Kit NumbersBase Kits: 108
Novelties: 82
Numpads: 53
Non-Standard Adapters: 56
We sold quite well with our basekits and fortunately JUST cracked the 50 MOQ for the numpads and NSAdapter kits! Thank god too, because if we didn't crack the 50MOQ for the 2, then we'd have probably had to refund the entire groupbuy, so hooray for making it everybody!
Production SchedulePayment was submitted officially to Signature Plastics on 04/10/18 so we've secured our spot on the production schedule
With Pulse R2 and a crapton of other SA set orders coming in just prior to ours, our spot on the production schedule got bumped down to Q4 of this year 2018
Artwork/Novelty Tweaksand finally, just minor tweaks to some of the novelties had to be made due to SP's tooling restrictions
mainly, parts of the sisters and boat novelties being too thing
I've submitted revised artwork for SP to work with, so I'll hear back soon enough whether the revised works or not!
-so in the original, the mouth on the sisters was too thin and thus became a block outline, I also smoothed out the eyes a bit so she's less derpy lookin
-then the boats rudder handle was too close to the boat so it had to be raised, but raising it goofed with the scale of the boat itself, so I had to raise the cabin up, and make it look a little rounder to balance it out! kind of what I wanted it to look like in the first place, the original was a bit too thin which wasnt really keeping with the movie
-artwork was also split on the boat novelty, so for the 1u boat novelty, the rudder handle will not have a hand-hole on it for the 1u novelty
again these are tentative changes, for all I know these revisions might not be good enough and more will have to come, but I thought I'd keep everyone up to date with any revisions that need to be made since we got a ways until we enter production stages
Thanks for bearing with me guys! Apologies for the lack of updates the past couple weeks, hopefully this one answers enough questions
TLDR- Payment submitted to SP 04/10/18
- Production tentatively scheduled for Q4 2018
- Artwork needed updating on Sisters and Boat novelties
- Kit numbers were good!
here's an incredibly rushed/lazy render of the set on the upcoming Espectro for your patience!
