Wow! It's hard to believe its been 8 months since the Kickstarter ended. We want the tribe to know that we have literally been working nights, weekends and weeknights to make production go as smoothly as possible.
We want to thank all of you and our amazing factory who was able to get the shipment out before the start of the Chinese New Year which would have delayed delivery another month.
Not just yet. We still have to go through the entire shipment and inventory and double check everyone's mailing address. Sending out your rewards will take 2 to 3 weeks as we gather shipping material, boxes, postage, etc.
Thank you for your patience and in the meantime check out these photos I took. Sorry for the poor quality, Brandon will take better packaging photos in the next week or so.
Online store now taking pre-orders!
Some of you may have noticed that the Backerkit store is now closed but fear not! The official online store is now open and we are taking pre-orders. These will be processed and shipped with the Kickstarter rewards. Check it out at sperotoys.com
Thank you all. We couldn't have done it without the AWOK Tribe!
Love, Spero!

Good Morning Tribe
We are happy and excited to share these production photos of the first run of series 1!
The Figures are somewhere on a giant ship in the middle of the Pacific as I write this, as soon as they hit state side we should be able to start tracking them!
In the mean time here are a few early figures that were sent to us by the factory, ahead of the actual shipment.
Enjoy!
We are very proud and excited of Series 1 and look forward to you all getting the figures and sharing photos of your customs and battles!
We also want to mention two great kickstarter going on Right now!

Good morning, AWOK Tribe!
We would like to announce that the production shipment will be leaving China on February 8th and will be making its long journey by sea to the United States!
What happens next?!
Once we have received the shipment we will begin inventory for all of the items from the factory in order to make sure we received the full, correct shipment. From there we will sort and store the items and begin prepping for shipment to you. This includes confirming everyone's shipping address and pack-in list. Our goal is to begin shipping out rewards in that latter half of April.
Note: We are in line behind Eagle Force for the playsets and weapon racks, so those items will be shipping in a separate shipment.
Fill out those surveys!
If you haven't completed your Backerkit survey do it now to avoid delay of your shipment.
Finally to the good stuff...
Here are a few images of the shipment being prepared!
AWOK!

Greetings, AWOK Tribe!
Color samples are in!
We received color samples of the figures, but some of the colors were way off. So we've made a new color/style guide for the factory that comes in at a whopping 50 pages!
Not to worry, though, this type of thing is typical and expected in toy manufacturing. The factory has received the notes and style guide and, since this is basically just adjusting Pantone colors, there are no delays in production at this time.
Here they are set up at booth at Wizard World New Orleans this weekend.
Here are 2 of the figures which were pretty much right on the money with colors.
Card art reveals!
In the meantime we would like to show off the amazing card art by Steven Butler! Check these out.
New production samples are underway
Once the new samples have arrived we will take production photos as well as promo photos for online toy shops as well as local comic and specialty shops...and for your enjoyment of course.
Thanks again! We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season!

Backerkit Billing
AWOK Tribe We wanted to mention since some of you missed the last two updates that our production time has been pushed waaaay ahead of schedule due to two other projects being delayed or canceled with our factory. It is for this reason we have closed out the backerkit portion of the backerkit so we can pay the factory for the order.
Pre-Orders
Pre-orders will stay open until the figures arrive state side so you can still place orders that way. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding!
Thanks again for your support!
