I'm in on that one and don't recall hearing much of anything as of late!

Am I...missing something?

Dear TGG backer, with this 109th Update, the shore is in sight and we are nearing the conclusion of this first adventure together... Next month's Update should bring you the news that the last few remaining minis have been manufactured and shipped, but with this Update, already, the bulk of Rewards Selection have been shipped out to backers.

If you got everything but are still waiting for the Digital Artbook, please scroll down below to the Artbook section.

Don't forget that you can always keep an eye on the status of the production on this page. We update it whenever we get new stuff in, and note the date it was last modified as well. Scroll down to Wave 3: everything that's in green is in stock and shipping.

New Available Minis

Here are the models that became available this month and are currently being shipped.

The Jailbirds Bikes became available earlier this month and shippable
The KST Bikes
The IE Bikes
→ So all the Bikes are now in stock.

The Jailbirds Trike (became available earlier this month)
The IE Trike
The KST Trike (will arrive this Friday)
→ So by August 7, all the Trikes will be in stock and shippable.

The Mecha KST became available earlier this month
The Mecha JB became available earlier this month
The Mecha IE came in this past Monday.
→ So all the Mechas are in stock and shippable.

You will see that the Bikes, the Trikes and the Mechas are quite massive miniatures.

Regarding the Mechas, we strongly suggest that you really take your time and plan their assembly. The great thing about the joint system we created for the Mechas is that it gives you a lot of latitude for posing. But the downside is that, with so many parts, you won't be able to assemble everything to preview the pose without some elements together first... So make sure you work carefully and patiently, and possibly enlist a second pair of hands before getting out the glue...











And look for photos of the KST Bikes and IE Bikes in our next Update!

Casts in Progress

The KST Trike will arrive no later than Friday August 7, which means that all the Trikes will then be available.
The WereSheWolves (KST) are planned for around the middle of the month.
We are very excited to have the WereSheWolves at the casting stage. If you recall, they were released in the campaign as Uber-Stretch Goals, so they were not really planned to be included in the campaign at first, and even if we had had the idea for these characters way back, the concepts were actually created in the heat of the last few days of the campaign, with Alex the concept artist and Benoit the art director going back and forth like mad to finally nail down the look they were after.

We should have received their cast several weeks ago, but they proved much harder to cast than expected. So we ended up having to go back to the 3D models, split them in a new way, and send them out to the 3D printer a second time before sending them back again to the foundry for casting!

But things are not proceeding smoothly and we should be receiving the WereSheWolves casts within the next 7-10 days.

Upcoming Prototypes

This is the very last time you get to see this section on the TGG campaign, as the large size models were the very last to go into production.

The following models are being prototyped right now, and should be ready for approval this and next week. As soon as they are approved, they will be cast.

Freedom Fighter Raven (JB) in 54mm
Freedom Fighter Svetlana (KST) in 54mm
Freedom Fighter Nertha (IE) in 54mm
Mascot Harry (JB) in Large Size
Mascot Charlie (KST) in Large Size
Mascot Jinx (IE) in Large Size
In fact, all accessories and separate elements are already cast for all 6 models! Only the bodies remain to be approved and cast, which should be done within the next 10-14 days, so we should have them in stock and shippable a few days later in August.

The Artbook

We are currently hard at work on the Artbook. It will be quite a unique book as it will be composed mainly of colour double-spreads. It will provide a unique way not only to see the TGG in full fighting action, but also to get a peak into a more intimate side of their lives and culture.

Nearly every time we work on a double spread, we say to ourselves that it would make a cool T-shirt or a cool poster, so we'll be waiting for you to tell us if it is something we should do. We'll get back to this conversation as soon as we have more to show you.

Meanwhile, here's a sample of what we're currently working on.
