The folks behind the effort to bring us Eagle Force Returns have been hard at work sharing updates over the last few days, so we’ve rounded them all up below for your reading pleasure! Let’s get to it!

First and foremost, a big congratulations goes to our friend Chris from The Drawn Word on the birth of his son! Both Mom & Boy are doing well and are back at home!

Speaking of The Drawn Word, Chris has shared word via the Eagle Force Goldie Hawk Photo Card Kickstarter Campaign Page that a few of you came together to make sure, through hook and crook, that we make the stretch goal for Cat cards! Now, the amount of cards that will be created hasn’t been budgeted as of yet, but a teaser of “The Cat Mission files” was shared and we’ve mirrored it here after the jump for your viewing pleasure.

Next up, by way of the Eagle Force Returns Facebook Page comes our first look at a couple of test shots from the molds for the Eagle Force figures…these are VERY VERY early and need work but Fresh Monkey just loves showing behind the scenes images and we’re thankful for it!

While we’re talking about figures, an update was made to the Larry Hama Action Figure Kickstarter Campaign Page. The update shares tools that will be used to bring “The Creator” to life and also shares word of the cut off for the backerkit – July 15th. If you want to ADD ON additional items to your order now is the time.

Wrapping up the Eagle Force Returns news is a pair of updates for Eagle Force: Monster Force. The Fresh Monkey Fiction Website now has an area dedicated to sharing Bios for characters from Monster Force! The first group of bios includes Declan Van Helsing, The Forgotten King, Dracula and Dr. Rand! Not only are bios available, but Fresh Monkey also shared an early look at The Forgotten King that we’ve also shared after the break.

That’s a lot of Eagle Force Returns awesomeness to digest, so once you’ve caught up, join us after the break for discussion already in progress!

It’s the final stretch for the Eagle Force Goldie Hawk Photo Cards Kickstarter Campaign from our friends at The Drawn Word! Working alongside Fresh Monkey Fiction, The Drawn Word brings us a set of photo cards based on none other than Goldie Hawk herself! Goldie Hawk is one of the standouts in Eagle Force, and it’s high time we give her the attention she deserves! Eagle Force Strikes: Goldie Hawk photo cards will bring Goldie to life through the help of  friends at DoubleTake Studio and talented actress/model Leah Martin.

The Goldie Hawk pack follows Goldie’s secret solo mission from 1987. Goldie races to answer a distress beacon from an abandoned R.I.O.T. laboratory in Germany. Who and what she encounters will play out in Eagle Force Mega and Eagle Force Returns! You can get the cards in a clear team bag, or with a limited sleeve box. This is a preliminary design, using the original toy packaging art. The final will have a photo image of Leah as Goldie. You can actually get one of two prototypes (seen above) at the Sleeve Box Prototype level! Also, the Drawn Word Eagle Force level is the last chance to get the limited Lost Brigade cards in the Eagle Force Strikes! set, so get them while they last as there’s only 5 left!

There’s a trifecta of Eagle Force Returns updates to bring your way, so let’s get to it –

First up, the Eagle Force Goldie Hawk Trading Cards Kickstarter Campaign has only 4 days left to go! The campaign is only $243 from reaching The Cat Photo Pack card set! Once we hit this goal, it’ll be like getting to sets of cards for the price of one! If you’ve picked up previous card sets, then you know that these are quality. If you haven’t jumped in on this campaign as of yet, now is the time to do so!

While on the topic of campaigns, our friends at The Drawn Word have sent out some great news – All of the books were just dropped off at their nearby post office today! It was a harrowing fulfillment mission: Staples canceled a crucial order of boxes without advising, Drawn Word ran out of tape, had to go on a box hunt this morning, ironically fight cats off from wanting to lay on everything–but out they are!!!!! Every package should have a white envelope with your RIOT Direktor, Cat foil, and mail-in card form card. International orders got the mail-in card with their order, but have all promised to keep it under their hat for the rest of you.

Last but not least, the Eagle Force Returns Facebook Page has begun sharing a new web comic entitled “Shattered Peace”. Page 01 is now available (and mirrored in this post), with a new page being posted every Wednesday! The story is written by Justin Bell and Illustrated by Ryan Lord.

You can discuss all the latest Eagle Force news right here on the HISSTANK.com forums after the break!

There’s only 3 days left to get in on The Cat: Eight Lives Left novel from The Drawn Word. In case you haven’t been keeping track, the campaign has not only funded, but has unlocked the following stretch goals –

  • artist Tim Shinn will be doing an illustration
  • Eagle Force Strikes! The Cat Metal Card
  • R.I.O.T. Direcktor Trading Card

If the campaign hits a stretch goal of $1,450 USD within the next 3 days, backers will get in on a TOP SECRET Mail-In Metal card! Mail In, you ask? TDW already has an answer for you. Check it out –

I know you’re probably asking “Chris, why the heck wouldn’t you just put the metal card IN with our pledge?”

The reason? I want to bring back the excitement of getting a mail-in. I remember how fantastic it was getting a Sgt. Slaughter, Super Trooper, or Hooded Cobra Commander in the mail.

To help get to goal, you can now get a set of the original Eagle Force Strikes! cards for $5 a set! Please note: These do not have the limited Lost Brigade subset that backers on that campaign or of this campaign’s Drawn Word Level. If you want to cash in on these, just add $5 to your pledge. You’ll receive a survey out at the end of the campaign for them.

There you have it, folks! If you’d like to know more backstory on this project, check out our original story here. To get in on the action, head on over to the Eagle Force Pulp – The Cat: Eight Lives Left Kickstarter Campaign. Either way, make sure to join us after the break for discussion in progress!

What a way to wrap Sunday! A huge Eagle Force Returns Kickstarter Update has been posted and it’s chock full of awesome!

First off, the fate of Sgt. Bulldog’s faithful pet – The votes have been tallied and Sgt. Bulldog’s pet has a name. It was a close race, but “Churchill” won with the most popular vote! Fresh Monkey thinks this is a fitting name for our Sgt’s best  friend. Thanks for voting, everyone!

Next up, a piece that we brought you on Friday – Eagle Force Pulp – The Cat: Eight Lives Left from The Drawn Word, the same fine folks who brought you the amazing Eagle Force Strikes Trading card set, have just launched their campaign and it’s already funded! Make sure to get in on the campaign if you haven’t already! If the campaign reaches the $1,300 stretch goal, we’ll be treated to a reveal of the R.I.O.T. DIREKTOR, the original R.I.O.T. Leader!

Finally, a new Eagle Force character reveal! The team at FMF have heard from a few of you that there was some disappointment around the fact that they’re moving on to 2 companion lines and not focusing on the core Eagle Force Team. Well, Fresh Monkey Fiction is happy to announce that the next campaign will feature characters not only from  Eagle Force: Monster Force and Eagle Force: Heroes vs Villains, BUT they’re also going to feature core Eagle Force characters as well; Both classic and new characters such as S.T.A.T. the Eagle Force Medical Officer.

That’s a lot of awesome to digest, so check out the latest update then join us after the break for discussion already in progress!
