1. The running figure now has his arm attached to the body. 2. I don't have this test shot, only the picture. 3. Plastic will be harder.

To #1 Great! I love that pose. I'd like to make a Conversion with his shield held low like he would do while running messages across the plains like in Zulu, not held up for fighting. To #2 Well, I guess it's a mute point. If new sets are going to be run with harder plastic, tests shots don't matter either way. To #3 Durn! Still I'll be buying this set anyway. Curious to see how the harder plastic feels in my hands. Because I don't paint, color and texture are everything to me.
OK, thank you for your quick answers and hard work. Like I said, this set looks superb and and I'll be supporting your efforts as a good customer. - GC

Holy Cow! These latest Unmarried Zulu Sprews look fantastic. Feet back on top of the bases and arms attached. Well done. And the color looks spot on to mix with your first Zulu Warriors. I think you just made my day, HaT Team.
Gotta ask: Is this sprew for these pictures actually of the same sprews that will be in the production boxes for us to purchase? Thanks in advance! - GC

Questions for Admin,
1. Is this sprew for these pictures actually of the same sprews that will be in the production boxes for us to purchase?
2. These pictures above looks like the old soft plastic. Are these the old soft plastic or actually the new harder plastic you said you would use. The reissue tank riders in lime green and reissue Zulus I've seen on eBay look way different than these pictures.

Those are great looking "test sprews." My vote is to use that plastic, load up the molds, lock'em and run'em, box'em up, and sell'em to us! If they keep looking this nice then I'm in! Thank You!

Just wondering when these are due to be shipped. Considering the kickstarter started in Oct 2016 and we are now nearly 12 months on. I know this takes time and there were some initial hiccups but a notification on estimated ETA would be great. The figures look great so looking forward to getting my hands on them.

Hello! Apologies for the delays. A couple of problems was that this was the first time that we made the set with the aid of scanners so it was a new process. Also, the mold was made twice, otherwise the mold would have been finished several months back. The mold is now completed and the boxes have been printed. We are now just waiting for packing and then shipping.

Dear Admin,
Could you please post some pictures of the final figures/sprews that will be in the boxes. The test sprews above look nice, but I'd like to see the final sprew's color and in the new harder plastic.
Thank you - GC

GC, they're just wanting to keep you in suspense. All the way up to the moment you get your purchased box and open it just to discover they've made them in grey plastic.

2 months since the last update on the official secret page.
Any news? After the blunder with the British Dragoons, I'm less and less enthusiastic about this whole affair.

Admin,
I asked you weeks ago to please post a picture of the final product going into the boxes for sale; not more test sprews. Are you ever going to do it? With no comment, I feel like you are avoiding me.

They're probably all in China At the moment GC, or wherever the boxes are packed.

Look at it like Christmas! One year I found where my folks stashed the Christmas presents. One of the worst Christmases of my childhood (I had started to say "life" but thinking about some I've spent since turning adult I changed my mind). All the thrill of the surprise was gone. It was the last time I snooped.
All I can say is - yes, there have been some boo-boos along the way; but if you look at it over the long haul HaT has a proven record of providing product of consistently high quality. And to be fair, after the FUBAR of the Dragoons I take some comfort in the fact they are taking a bit longer to produce this set - I can take it that there is extra care being taken to get these sets RIGHT. I am deeply invested in the Prussians (for me, at least - I had all the money I had pledged to the cancelled 1/32 sets turned over to the Prussians) - so, as eager as I am to get them into my hot, sweaty, hands I am willing to wait longer to get excellent figures, properly realized and the right size than to get a bunch of giants or dwarfs - or worse something out of the background of "Lord of the Rings." From what I've seen - and the trouble HaT is going through to get these sets right. I think they will be well worth the wait. And we will be grateful they went to the trouble.
As far as word - it's tough when there's really nothing new to report or hear. I can only imagine the frustration of being caught in between us wanting news - and the factory, not giving any.
