There’s a new update to share with you from the Eagle Force Returns Kickstarter Campaign! –
They’ve begun their tooling phase for the figures (images attached to story). Just a bunch of steel blocks…Fresh Monkey knows it doesn’t look very exciting but they’ll be using these steel tools for a while so it’s a thrill for all involved to see them. The tools will take about a month to finalize then we should start seeing samples toward the end of July…we’ll be sure to share images of those as soon as we get them.
Fresh Monkey Fiction & Zica Toys are also working up the design for the packaging. They were originally planning on doing boxes for the line but they’ve been toying with the idea of collector friendly card backs..like they’re Amazing Heroes line. If they go this route it would look something like this (see above). Post a comment and let us know what you think. Do you think this is a better direction? Make sure to make your voice heard after the break!
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.
