Hello Roboskullers,

GET READY FOR GORGEOUS 6" ACTION FIGURES!

We just completed a photography day with Red Shadows® production figures and WOW.  We simply could not be more pleased!

PHASE D product is currently in transit in a container on the Pacific Ocean:

  • ROBOKNIGHT Heavy Metal Armor Accessory with Bonus 4" Robonaut kit
  • 6" PILOT CHARACTER KIT with Bonus 6" Robonaut kit
  • 6" WOLF TROOPER
  • 6" GYRE WOLF (BackerKit Addition)
  • 6" JUNGLE WOLF TROOPER (BackerKit Addition)

Exact timing of fulfillment is not yet known, as customs clearance could impact our date.

As a reminder, SKELETRON is absorbing any & all US tariffs for this Kickstarter & BackerKit pre-order.

LAST CALL FOR SHIPPING ADDRESS UPDATES

If you have moved since you last received a Kickstarter/BackerKit shipment from us, and have not already updated your shipping information with us directly, please email us at [email protected] with your new shipping address.  We will email you back with confirmation of the address change.  As a reminder, we cannot be responsible for product shipping to an incorrect address.   Monday, 10/20 is our deadline for address changes.  If we've already confirmed, there's no need to reconfirm- we've got it!

SKELETRON UPDATE

With the next big wave of figures on the way, all attention remains on 4" & 6" Skeletron to get this extended Kickstarter wrapped up!

We are anxiously awaiting a next shipment with updated factory samples, and believe we may have them in hand for our next convention appearance at LegionsCon...

CONVENTION APPEARANCES

SKELETRON has three upcoming convention appearances. (Quite a lot for us!)  
In just a few short weeks we'll be attending LegionsCon for the very first time, which will immediately be followed by Codename: Iowa's Assembly Required, a can't miss show for us every year.   Our first convention of 2026 will be a return to Zolocon!

We hope to see you at one (or more) of these awesome shows!

As always, THANK YOU!

Hello Roboskullers,

VERY EXCITING NEWS.  Our next phase has been completed by the factory and is moving towards fulfillment!


We are thrilled to report that our Red Shadows container is scheduled for pickup and will then be loaded onto a vessel! PHASE D product headed for deployment:

  • ROBOKNIGHT Heavy Metal Armor Accessory with Bonus 4" Robonaut kit
  • 6" PILOT CHARACTER KIT with Bonus 6" Robonaut kit

  • 6" GYRE WOLF (BackerKit Addition)
  • 6" JUNGLE WOLF TROOPER (BackerKit Addition)

These figures and accessories are exceptional, and we cannot wait to get them into your hands!  They still need to travel via ocean freight to our fulfillment center, so it will be several weeks before you receive your shipping notice.  As always, we'll keep you updated!


For a behind-the-scenes look at the factory packaging these up, join us in SKELETRON SECRET LAB on Facebook!

SKELETRON 66
7 months ago – Fri, Aug 29, 2025 at 01:16:01 PM

Hello Roboskullers!

Our next fulfillment wave is creeping towards the finish line at the factory!  We'll be sending out the final call to update addresses in the near future, but please don't hesitate to email us any address changes now to [email protected]   The upcoming wave will be shipping:

  • ROBOKNIGHT Heavy Metal Armor Accessory with Bonus 4" Robonaut kit
  • 6" PILOT CHARACTER KIT with Bonus 6" Robonaut kit
  • 6" WOLF TROOPER
  • 6" GYRE WOLF (BackerKit Addition)
  • 6" JUNGLE WOLF TROOPER (BackerKit Addition)

    Everything has come together beautifully, and the long wait for 6" these figures is nearly over.  Thanks so much for your exceptional patience as we enter the tail end of this massively large and extended duration Kickstarter!

    Once this wave ships, the 4" Skeletron, 6" Skeletron, and Total Roboskull Hardcover will still remain.  We've been in regular contact with the factory and are pushing on all fronts.  We've seen solid progress with the 6" Skeletron—Here's a recent factory paint sample (without printed tampo deco) that is being further tweaked at the factory for final approval:

We're especially pleased with how the Metallic paint finish is looking for Skeletron!

Sector 6 Summertime Production
8 months ago – Thu, Jul 31, 2025 at 02:34:35 PM

Hello Roboskullers,

The progress continues with factory production, and our 6" Wolf Trooper, Pilot Character Kit, Gyre Wolf, and Jungle Wolf Trooper are nearly ready for deployment!

In addition, the ROBOKNIGHT Heavy Metal Armor Accessory (with included bonus 4" Robonaut kit) is also nearing the finish line.  We're beyond excited to have all these products ship soon from the factory!


We'll let you know as soon as these ship out!  Our 4" & 6" Skeletron figures are currently undergoing further mold revision to ensure all of the joints and fit are just right.  As soon as these adjustments are fine-tuned, we'll be able to proceed with production and wrap things up along with the TOTAL ROBOSKULL Hardcover book. 
 

ASSEMBLY REQUIRED | November 14th & 15th

As we evaluate some other show possibilities for later this year, we can tell you with certainty we will be in attendance for the 14th Annual ASSEMBLY REQUIRED Convention presented by Code Name: Iowa!  If you haven't been to Des Moines in November, besting the sometimes cold weather is absolutely worth it.


We hope to see you November 14th and 15th in Des Moines!

Thank you!

ROBONAUT REVEALED!
9 months ago – Mon, Jun 30, 2025 at 04:40:02 PM

Hello Roboskullers,

We're kicking things off with yet another surprise BONUS for your remaining rewards!

ROBONAUT REVEALED

Forged in secrecy deep within Red Shadows laboratories, a new pilot emerges—ROBONAUT!  Who are the Robonauts, and where did they come from?  While that remains classified, we know for certain that you'll be able to build both a 4" and 6" Robonaut with the following rewards:

ROBOKNIGHT HEAVY METAL ARMOR Accessory - with FREE BONUS:

  • 1:18 scale Robonaut Head
  • Robonaut Secondary
  • Special ZG Carbine Rifle
  • Special Raygun

Use these bonus accessories to convert your 4" Wolf Trooper into a Robonaut pilot for your ROBOSKULL MKII—soon to be upgraded into ROBOKNIGHT!

6" PILOT CHARACTER KIT - Also includes a FREE BONUS:

  • 1:12 scale Robonaut Head
  • Robonaut Secondary
  • Special ZG Carbine Rifle (with 2 Magazines)
  • Special Raygun

This new bonus makes the 6" PILOT CHARACTER KIT even more versatile and awesome—create 6" BLOOD WOLF, RED WEASEL, and now ROBONAUT, all utilizing the 6" WOLF TROOPER figure (sold separately).

While we had planned to close these pre-orders today, we are extending pre-orders by one week (to 7/7), to give an additional chance to place a pre-order for these sets with these bonus ROBONAUT accessories.

Visit the SKELETRON PRE-ORDER STORE

NOTE:  This means ALL-IN pledges will automatically receive the 4" & 6" Robonaut kits.
