    When Boss Fight does 104% no pantographing is needed. The extra 4% is to allow for shrinkage during the molding process so they end up with as close to final 4" sizzle as possible. The 4H often would sculpt at 200% (hence why their prototypes are often referred to as 2 ups) which the factory then pantographs down to the actual size for the figure.

    Hope that clears things up a bit.

      Thanks for the explanation. I was never really sure how that worked.

        Eagle Force R.I.O.T. Commando

        Here's the concept art for the Eagle Force R.I.O.T. Commando. This is my favorite design so far and the helmet will be removable!

            We've got a brief interview with Bill Murphy of Fresh Monkey Fiction over at AFi about the return of Eagle Force:

              These look great. Q2 2015 is so far away! Is the chest armor going to be removable too?

              I read the article on AFI. I like that the Kickstarter will just be for the 1 Captain Eagle and the rest will be stretch goals. There is a better chance of getting it funded that way.

                I had one of the original figures. IIRC, it was the blonde female with the well endowed chest.

                  Yes, the chest armor is removable.
