UPDATE – Great news to those that wanted to, or have pledged at the R.I.O.T. Pilot level:
The campaign has added some more pieces of the Pilot, BUT reduced the amount needed to get this awesome figure to only $60.00(or over) in hopes to attract more folks to the Kickstarter! To make it easier to get in on the action, Fresh Monkey has created the R.I.O.T. Pilot Level Reward at $60; this reward will get you a limited edition metal card of Captain Eagle, a new R.I.O.T. Pilot Trading Card, Plus a set of 20 Eagle Force Returns Trading Cards.
All rewards over $60 will now also come with the new R.I.O.T. Pilot Trading Card. If you pledged to a reward lower than $60 you can either (a) raise your pledge amount to $60 OR (b) change your reward to the R.I.O.T. Pilot Level Reward.
Fresh Monkey knows a lot of you made adjustments to your pledge yesterday to $75, so if you want you can stay at $75 (as you’ll get the cool repo backer cards) OR adjust your pledge to the $60 R.I.O.T. Pilot Level Reward. Sorry for this inconvenience but Fresh Monkey Fiction feels that this will give incentive to more folks to bump up their pledges in the long run.

[04/23/16 @ 8:28am] Wow, talk about a stretch goal! Our friends behind Fresh Monkey Fiction have laid down the gauntlet – If the Eagle Force Returns Trading Card Set Kickstarter Campaign hits a milestone of $10,000, every backer who backs at $75 or over will received the very limited R.I.O.T Pilot- Air Assault Stealth Trooper figure. This figure will not only be the 1st Eagle Force Figure, but he will be limited to 200 pcs world wide. If the campaign is able to achieve this goal, Fresh Monkey Fiction will ship out your other rewards this summer and the figure will follow in winter 2016.
With the campaign now over $4,000, every backer (over $25) will receive their card set and sticker wrapped in a vintage trading card wrapper (bubblegum not included).
*Cue Salesman Voice* But WAIT! That’s not all! Fresh Monkey also stopped by to share an image of another new R.I.O.T. character, HORNET! Hornet was revealed earlier this week on AFI and he looks absolutely fantastic! You can check him out along with his bio after the break.
So start spreading the word, we have 10 days to reach this goal!!!

Didn't see it mentioned here so I'm posting this today. The good people at Boss Fight Studios are designing new figures in 1/18th scale based on the 1980's Mego property Eagle Force. Based on their collaboration with MGR's, it can mean nothing but great things to look forward to in 2015.

Kinda surprised Boss Fight would directly compete with both Marauder and Hasbro. Well, maybe not so directly in Hasbro's case since this won't be mass-retail product, but still!
It'll probably be pretty awesome...wonder if they're using the HACKS system on these?

Holy smokes...I loved these as a kid. Fantastic news! Eagle Island is still a great iconic playset.
I missed out on the MTF Kickstart as I had unexpected car repairs the week it closed. No way I'm letting this slip by.

Oh yeah! Hope they're 1:18th-ish scale!

Ha! This is awesome!
I remember being excited seeing the commercials for this line back in the day and becoming disappointed seeing them in real life at the store as the scale was incompatible with the Joes. Finally the scale issue has been corrected, only took 30+ years.
Enemy Leader says
Wow, I was thinking about these recently. "What were those little metal Joe-like figures with the plastic heads that had a blue ninja?".... I had a handful of them, thought they were cool.
RolandofGilead says
According to Boss Fight, these will be similar in design to Modern Era Joes. No mini metal figures to be had.

I only had Stryker as a child. I'd like to get these in all in Joe scale though.
I'm hoping for the good folks at Boss Fight to make us some 1/18th scale Buck Rogers, Battlestar, Sectaurs and Crystar figures.
