Where did Eagle Force’s battle against R.I.O.T. (Roving International Organization of Terror) really begin? It’s 1970s New York City, and The Cat is where it all starts.
The Cat: Eight Lives Left is the first Eagle Force Pulp novella that tells the story of Lee Fine, a cat burglar roped into taking on one big job for an agency so secret it doesn’t even have a name. Eight Lives Left plants narrative seeds that will come to bloom as far forward in the Eagle Force timeline as the upcoming Monster Force. It weighs in at as a 64-page pocket-sized (5.06 x 7.81 ) paperback book, with a limited print run for this first cover.
Written by Christopher Irving, right after the Eagle Force Strikes trading cards, this is an homage to all things Ian Fleming, as this cat burglar begins his journey into becoming America’s leading secret agent.
Reward levels include the book itself in a regular or signed and personalized edition, and also a limited metal card of The Cat–specially priced at just $5 with the signed edition. It goes for $10 as a post-campaign Add-On. If things get really ambitious and pass the $600 goal, Eight Lives Left gets an illustration by artist Tim Shinn when the campaign hits uts stretch goal of $800. Reaching $1,100 gets the stretch goal of a metallic foil Eagle Force trading card of The Cat, designed to go with the earlier Eagle Force Strikes! Goldie Hawk card.
You can get your pledge in here but make sure to do so quickly, as the campaign has only 13 days left to go: Eagle Force Pulp: The Cat in Eight Lives Left
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.
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.
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.
