The work at the factory is still progressing slowly...
They gave me several reasons, the main one is "such a delay is normal for this kind of production". But this is not what was initially planned...

I just saw the first samples produced, but despite this I'm sure I won't be able to deliver the first mannequins before the end of the year.

The outfits are ready, the accessories for Indian figure and Old Bob are ready.
(I'll show you this quickly.)
So I think I can say now that delivery will be in January.  

The new USMC outfit, Tom Stone, as well as the other pre-ordered products will not be available before the end of the year either, because they also depend on this production at the factory... ☹  

I am, once again, disappointed to have to announce this to you.
Needless to say, we are already looking for another, more responsive factory for the next productions.
I will of course keep you informed of the progress.

Thank you again for your support and the messages of encouragement I receive every week!

The new boxes arrived from the printing house today!

I just got some pictures from the factory to show that work is underway.
They're not the sexiest pictures, but you can see that the molds are in the final
stages of manufacturing and the first samples have been produced
to validate the different parts.

I just checked in with the factory and the work on the design of the molds for the arms and legs is taking longer than expected.
As I'm a small customer for them, it seems that they have worked on bigger contracts before mine…

My partner went to the factory and was able to see that the work was in progress, he put pressure on them, but it is a complex job that requires time and development.

I almost fell off my chair when I read that the delivery of the parts was now scheduled for the end of November!
Considering the delivery and the time needed to assemble the figures, the orders will not be able to be shipped until December.

My apologies for the missed deadlines, but it is not directly up to me, and I am really sorry...☹️

I will continue to keep you informed as often as possible.

Bob Chasseur d'Image Box!

 here's the final version of Bob's box. I hope you enjoy it!
As there were too few orders for Old Bob, it will be delivered in this same box.
