So while there is no denying the fact that some backers don't have *any* of their AvP pledge yet and many are still waiting on some of it.. and there is a disconnect between what they could do, should do and *are* doing about it.. these guys aren't the shysters some people would have you believe.

Prodos seems to be great to work with when you're a company contracting them to cast your stuff for you.

They seem less fun to deal with if you're a customer in general, and KS backer in particular.

reading the complains especially about AVP in every thread the name Prodos is mentioned becomes quite frustrating.

Maybe if they delivered stuff to their KS backers (the exact same stuff that they are currently sending out for retail), those complaints would be less common?

2. UniCast is unique due to 2 factors, a) models quality b) production capacity c) low cost. UniCast it's resin quality level with HIPS manufacturing cycle time and cost of PVC - no other manufacturer is able to do this, thus it's a bit revolution.

Have you considered filing a patent for the unicast manufacturing process.

That would allow you to pull in licensing money by allowing others to make use of the tecnique in their manufacturing.
