Test Shot sets available

Due to the overwhelming demand for these we decided to not list them on the store, it will be first come first served via email since we have less than 5 sets overall available

1620651_757340924345907_5070672871113781620_n

The set of 4 figures will be $60.00 which includes shipping in the USA.

Each set contains

  • Goliath Revision 2.o (tighter arms)
  • Leo/Generations Lion 2.0 (refined mouth, tighter sculpt)
  • Ulric Revision 2.0 (tighter sculpting on the face)
  • Yvonne 2.0 (tighter body sculpting/outfit)

Now the thing to keep in mind is this is not traditional white PVC despite its appearance, this is basic factory test shot material. These are only meant to look at details and form fit/factor.

Goliath is the most fragile, this test shot is delicate and PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BUILD WITH HIM. Unlike the Designercon test shots that were run in the standard hard production pvc this material is softer and will break if you attempt to build with him on certain pieces.

These types of test shots were never designed to be sold mass market , they are solely for the internal team to approve changes and rarely ever see the light of day. But we are offering the MWOTR nation a chance to own a few of them so its best you guys know up front what they are.

MWOTR Evolution Goliath ready for production!

This morning we approved Evolution Goliath for full production and reconfirmed our launch order of him in the Emerald Green that THEGODBEAST just ran in his Kamen Rider homage of Kabuto Mushi.

ETA on when these $6 Goliath figures will be provided when we get a more concrete date from the factory in China. We will be posting later today or tomorrow the details of how you can get your hands on the remaining handful of super limited V2 White Test Shots.

We will be posting details on how to go about buying the remaining handful of V2 Goliath Test Shots, there are literally under 5 that will be available (these were not like DesignerCon where we had 30-40 run)

Kabuto Mushi sale tonight : what it means for Evolution

Tonight is Marty “THEGODBEAST” Hansen’s Christmas Sale of Kabuto Mushi

Three new character specific homages will go up for sale, one of those being his homage to Kamen Rider

This figure is very important as it will be the same exact colorway that Evolution Goliath debuts in next month!! This color is closest to our original 2013 C2E2 Urethane launch figure, and we feel a great way to debut Goliath into the world since he will build with Kabuto Mushi right out of the package.

Probably late Monday or Tuesday we will show off some new pictures of the V2 Test Shot and any information about how to go about obtaining the HIGHLY limited quantity that will be available (there are less than 10 available for customers)

Revised Test Shots are here!

10615980_844813968915965_80346954356759309_n

Earlier today our 2nd warehouse in Urbandale received a test shot package from the factory in China.ย  These test shots were run to work on the tightness in Goliath’s arms and to work on tighter details for Series 2.

We will be checking these test shots over the weekend and reporting back to the factory next week.

These test shots are a white/grey color, it is not any main Glyos color but instead the basic plastic commonly used for test shots. Because of that these are much more fragile then say the production quality brown we had Goliath run in for DesignerCon.

Many people have contacted us about buying these test shots, unlike Designercon we did not run these in any large number and instead have literally a handful available. We will most likely add them to the Ringside store early next week as a first come first served nature, but we will discuss that with the MWOTR team this weekend.

We are now that much closer to the full factory production of both Evolution Goliath and Series 2 ๐Ÿ™‚

Website updates

First off we are nearing the final approval of Evolution Goliath, so we are looking to Mid-December to Early January as his official release date. Series 2 is still being worked on, we look for that to come in maybe late Jan/Early Feb at this point.

Second, we have traveled all over the US this year and some people see us and don’t remember where to find the website. Since we tend to use the short name MWOTR for various reasons we figured we should make it easier to find us.

So today we made sure you can find us no matter what by rolling out www.mwotr.com and www.mysticalwarriorsofthering.com , both of which will redirect you instantly to the original mystwarriors site ๐Ÿ™‚

Video review of MWOTR Evolution Goliath

umxanthax has posted a neat in depth look at our test shot, he brings up a few valid concerns with the figure and in a way helps us get the point across on why they exist and why they are so rare.

For those that don’t understand the process, when making production figures you go through a few phases and one of those is test shots. These are figures run from the mold and show you what a production from that mold would yield, it is at this point you look things over and sendย changes, questions or concerns back to the factory to be addressed. This process repeats until everyone is satisfied and the product is ready for mass production.

Two issues we found were that the arms came reversed in the bag, its not really noticeable unless you look at the arm pad and see the croc head is upside down. A simple switch (thanks to the glyos swapping) puts the figure the way it “should” be. Second, we requested the joints and glyos pegs in the arms be a little tighter.

They work fine for Goliath and MWOTR in general, but with the idea of building in mind, we want to make sure they hold up well with heavier pvc from say Roboforce or Spy Monkey.

People have waited almost 2 years for a production version of this figure, so we think he will be worth the wait ๐Ÿ™‚

Full steam ahead

Now that convention season is over for us, we look forward to bringing you the 1st official production release of Evolution Goliath.

Then in the months that follow we will be bringing you the 1st production release of Series 2.

But you should know us by now, we have quite a few projects in the pipeline and new stuff always going on ๐Ÿ™‚

2015 release schedule is dependent on a lot of things, how Goliath is received will help us determine where we go from this point with Giants such as Takeshi and Tembo.

We are hard at work on Series 3 and Series 4, and plan on touring the country again next year.ย  Who will show up in those series is always fluctuating, but I have some ideas and if you read Issue IV you might see some characters you will want ๐Ÿ˜‰

On the comic front there are 2 more issues we are working through to complete the next storyline we start in Volume IV, and then there will be a Champions of the AWF issue which will be similar to the old Handbook of the Marvel Universe

We also have finally added a Facebook page for Mystical Warriors of the Ring , we know lots of people come to this blog for news but we never realized how many use other social media to track the line.

So if you have Facebook you can find us at https://www.facebook.com/mwotr

If you do not use Facebook, no worries, nothing will get posted there that is not also posted here.

We should be revealing a release date soon for Evolution Goliath, we hope it will be before Christmas but we want to make sure that figure is 100% ready to go in terms of product color and quality control.
