Hello Roboskullers,
We've got great news to share—after multiple rounds of tooling revisions, we have now approved 6" Skeletron for production! We are thrilled to have this remaining 6" figure entering into production, and stay tuned for more details as we begin the ending of this long journey!
We've also received photos of an updated 4" Skeletron test shot that is looking good! This 4" Skeletron still requires some revisions, and our factory contact, Dave Proctor, has advised that they are focused on getting this 4" version finalized so that it can also enter into production.

May Skeletron Update
about 1 month ago
– Sun, May 03, 2026 at 07:02:26 PM
Hello Roboskullers,
Tooling was again revised and the factory completed an updated 6" Skeletron test shot as anticipated. He is looking so good!
This revised test shot resolved nearly all remaining issues. Though we hoped this would be the final revision, the tooling does require an addition adjustment, and so production has not yet commenced. The factory has recently been turning revised test shots for 6" Skeletron at a faster pace, and we expect to receive the final test shot soon.
We were also due to receive a revised 4" Skeletron test shot, but it has not yet been provided. We are continuing our push to receive this and will provide an update when it arrives.
If these are received and can be approved this month, we will be pushing to preserve the current Q3 fulfillment target.
If you'd like to view a "behind-the-scenes" video of this latest 6" Skeletron test shot (courtesy of Dave Proctor), please visit SKELETRON SECRET LAB on Facebook.
Upcoming Events
For those seeking the exclusive Yeti UNMASKED Convention Variant, it will be available at upcoming shows, including the OHIO TOY & COMIC SHOW in West Chester, Ohio on Sunday, May 24th! While SKELETRON will not have a dedicated booth at this very special event, you will find our entire offering there, including this convention variant cardback.
We're also continuing to see our products appear in awesome brick & mortar toy stores- please let your favorite shop know if you'd like to see RED SHADOWS® on display! Retail stores can find more information at SKELETRON.comand you can also find our in-stock products available with $5 flat rate shipping in the US as well as global shipping options.
Thank you! -SKELETRON

Hello Roboskullers,
You'll receive no hoaxes or pranks from us this April Fool's Evening, though we hope you had a fun-filled day with a few laughs.
We've received another revised test shot of 6" Skeletron and he is almost ready for mass production. The factory is making what we hope are the final tweaks right now so that we can commence production in full!
New Factory Test Shot | 6" SKELETRON
The progress continues, and we are headed to the finish line with the 6" Skeletron, which will be followed by the 4" and the hardcover finale. That's all the news we have to report from the factory, and we fully expect to have further progress to report next month.
We recently returned from Toylanta- THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it a crazy fun and memorable event!
SKELETRON will be at the DFW GI JOE & Action Figure Show May 29-31, which will be followed by Joefest June 26-28. Our SKELETRON Crew hopes to see you there!
Armed to the teeth and forged in the fires of warfare, 4” Red Shadows® ASSAULT TROOPERS will deploy on SKELETRON.com this Friday, 4/3 at 12pm Eastern time! With incredible sculpt details, articulation, and accessories, these troopers come fully loaded with all the armaments required to be your ultimate modern 1:18 scale action figures:
These superior soldiers hold ALL their gear, and we hope you'll check them out.
As always, thank you for your continued support!

TOTAL ROBOSKULL Update

– Wed, Mar 04, 2026 at 11:10:32 AM
Hello Roboskullers!
We're currently recovering from a long weekend at Zolocon in Pennsylvania, and WOW- what a show! More on that to come, but first an update:
4" SKELETRON & 6" SKELETRON figures
With Chinese New Year now wrapping up, the status on these figures (both in tooling revision) remains unchanged over the last month. We remain aimed at a Q3 delivery and expect to have additional information for our next updates.
As previously communicated, publication of this book was pushed back so that we could add as much content as possible and include our last releases from the Kickstarter campaign. Originally planned at 96 pages, we expanded to 112 pages—and have now added even more pages! This will be the comprehensive and definitive Roboskull guide! We've been keeping the content under wraps, though as we've recently been asked to reveal some content, here's just a small taste of what you'll find inside:
This book will cover the inspirational history, the development of the Roboskull MKII, the Kickstarter launch, and the reception to the Roboskull MKII upon release. It's chock full of behind-the-scenes development, beautiful illustrations, and stunning photography. Our plan is to ship this book alongside our remaining Skeletron figures in Q3.
More SKELETRON News
We survived Zolocon! Thank you to EVERYONE who made this show exceed our wildest expectations. It was awesome, it was WILD, and it was so much FUN! We invite you to check out more of the Zolocon adventures HERE and HERE on Instagram or on our Facebook page!
We are absolutely stoked for Toylanta! We've heard nothing but praise for this show and are pumped to finally be making the trip down to Atlanta! It's coming up fast, so don't wait to make plans to see awesome people and awesome toys on March 27-28-29!
We know not everyone is able to attend one of the fun-filled toy shows this year, which is why we're excited to announce that our Retro Yeti & Retro Zargonaut figures will be in-stock and available later this week at SKELETRON.com! Visit our website this Friday, March 6th at 12pm Eastern to pick up these brand-new, totally killer Retro figures! Retro Zargonaut is a 2-in-1 figure that transforms into Zarlord, so be sure to pick up extras for the alien commander and his cult of loyal Zargonauts!
All sales of Retro Yeti benefit the family of Aaron "Roma" Detrick
As always, thank you for your amazing support!

Factory Update
4 months ago
– Sat, Jan 31, 2026 at 10:00:05 PM
Hello Roboskullers,
We've been in communication with the factory over the last month, and they've shared some information that is of interest as we push for completion of our 4" & 6" Skeletron figures:
The factory will be relocating to a much larger facility in the Spring.
The factory has hired additional tooling expertise, and a very positive impact is already being experienced with tooling speed, quality, and overall success.
While a larger manufacturing facility will certainly be helpful to all the toymakers who share use of this factory, the tooling process itself has easily been the most significant and continuous bottleneck over the course of this project. Skeletron, as well as other toymakers using this factory, have experienced significant delivery delays due to tooling delays and rework, so this is particularly positive news.
6" Skeletron Factory Sample
Taking the upcoming Chinese New Year shutdown, the pending factory move, and the tooling improvements all under consideration, we've been provided a schedule that places fulfilment of both the 6" and 4" Skeletron figures into Q3 of this year. As you well know, providing accurate product delivery estimates has been the most difficult part of this campaign, and we will continue to be transparent with the information we are provided.
UPCOMING CONVENTIONS
We're less than one month away from ZOLCOCON 2026, and we've got exciting Retro excitement in store! We'll be following that with our first ever appearance at TOYLANTA- we're so excited to finally get to this amazing show!
