News from Zica Toys! Check out the image after the jump.

Turns out the issues with the paint apps on the most recent samples weren’t nearly as bad as I originally thought. This is a new picture I recently received from the factory that was taken in much better lighting, giving a much more accurate presentation of the colors. As best I can tell everything looks accurate but I won’t be 100% certain until I have them in hand for review.

You’ll notice that the Captain Action and Captain Evil figures now come with alternate heads so that they can be displayed as identical clones if preferred.

In a stroke of good luck Craig at Zica Toys has announced that the project is back on track. Initially reported as cancelled due to quality issues Zica Toys wasn’t willing to compromise on, the factory will absorb those issues and proceed!

While the cancellation was at first a bitter pill to swallow, the news that the factory errors are being rectified shows that Zica Toys has always been committed to quality products and only wanted the best action figures for their customers, us!

There’s a lot of Eagle Force News to share with you this morning. First up, Page 5 of the Eagle Force Web Comic “Shattered Peace” is now online for your viewing pleasure. We’ve mirrored the latest page after the jump. Also, there’s a new project from The Drawn Word to share, check out the details below –

Legends are Live!

Welcome to Eagle Force Legends, the exclusive, limited card packs only available here. Each pack features three cards: an 18 pt card of an Eagle Force Legend, a metal Monster Force card, and a special teaser card. The first has DeClan Van Helsing in metal, Captain Eagle as the Legend, and Eagle Force MEGA as your teaser. These will only be limited to the amount of orders received, and will not be offered again.

Don’t miss out on these: they’re only up for one week!

NOTE: International backers who already backed the Goldie Hawk cards have the option of having me hold Legends to consolidate with shipping. Just email to make arrangements.

By way of the Action Figure Junkies Facebook Group comes our first look at an Eagle Force: Monster Force display! The backdrop is perfectly frightening and looks just as awesome as the Eagle Force display that we shared yesterday.

What makes this image even more interesting is that it appears to give us our first look at upcoming figures from the Monster Force line! Shown in the image are –

  • The Forgotten King
  • Van Helsing
  • General Brown
  • Dr. Tannis Rand

As the image doesn’t appear on the Eagle Force Returns facebook page, we’ve reached out to our friends at Fresh Monkey Fiction to verify the legitimacy of this image and to confirm who the 4th figure in the image is.

Stay tuned for more details!

Happy Friday, Eagle Force fans! There’s a pair of updates that were shared earlier in the week, so let’s get to it! –

Our friends behind Eagle Force Returns are looking to get some some feedback from you, the HISSTANK.com faithful – What would you think of a plastic display base like the one pictured above with interchangeable backdrops? If brought to market, they’d be offered in a few different colors. Make sure to sound off after the break!

Also, this past Wednesday brought us the 4th page of the Eagle Force Returns web comic, Shattered Peace! A vote must be made as to whether or not to grant Ridgewood International a UN Security Contract. Will Baron Von Chill succeed? Read on and stay tuned!  [Read more…]

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!
