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:
RED SHADOWS 6" SKELETRON factory paint sample (Not Final)
We're especially pleased with how the Metallic paint finish is looking for Skeletron!
SKELETRON's Mark O'Byrne will be at the track along with a SKELETRON Crew that includes Troy McKie of Grindstone Toys. We hope you'll tune in and cheer on Number 66!
We'll be announcing some additional convention appearances soon as well, and know that any and all SKELETRON promotions and appearances have no impact on our factory's efforts to complete production. Final fulfillment remains our number one priority!
Thank you! -SKELETRON
Sector 6 Summertime Production

– 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!
11 months ago
– Mon, Jun 30, 2025 at 04:40:02 PM
Hello Roboskullers,
We're kicking things off with yet anothersurprise 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:
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.
These ROBONAUT accessories are already in production, along with the 6" WOLF TROOPER, GYRE WOLF, and JUNGLE WOLF TROOPER. These figures are progressing through the factory and are expected to ship from China later this summer.
RED SHADOWS® 6" Figures in Production
SKELETRON STRIDES
We received updated test shots of 6" Skeletron just in time for JoeFest! We'll be posting photos sometime soon in SKELETRON SECRET LAB. You can also view a video of the 6" SKELETRON first shot here in the lab: SKELETRON SECRET LAB
BEWARE THE YETI
At JoeFest, we revealed the upcoming Retro YETI figure during the Celebration of Life event for Aaron Detrick. We'll announce the timing for this very special release as soon as we're able. In the meantime, please visit our Facebook or Instagram for the story behind this very special tribute to ROMA Collectibles' Aaron Detrick.
Thanks to everyone who was able to attend JoeFest—it was wonderful to reconnect with so many of you. Thanks to Grindstone Toys for continuing the grind at the DFW GI Joe Show and repping SKELETRON the following weekend. We have so many more people to thank in this amazing collector community. Thank you for your continued support of this Kickstarter journey!
Molds of May: Six-Inch Update

– Sat, May 31, 2025 at 04:37:42 PM
Hello Roboskullers,
We've seen some great progress in May with our 6" figures, and also have some June convention news to share!
SIX-INCH UPDATE
Manufacturing is proceeding at the factory for 6" Pilot Kit, Wolf Trooper, Gyre Wolf, and Jungle Wolf Trooper. The factory shared some photos of various components moving through their production facility:
We're so excited to get these into your hands and will keep you posted as these figures progress through the factory, along with the ROBOKNIGHT HEAVY METAL ARMOR Accessory.
We also received images of the long-awaited 6" Skeletron Test shots! The figure is now fully tooled, and we are absolutely thrilled with how these first shots look! The sculpt details have come through beautifully, and the articulation is absolutely wonderful. This is a significant advancement for this figure and, as expected, there are some adjustments to be made before full-swing production begins. Check him out:

And yes, 6" Skeletron will also include extra hands (as seen above), and both 4" and 6" Skeletron will include TWO heads (Standard & Screamin').
We're so excited with how this figure looks and moves- please join us SKELETRON SECRET LAB if you'd like to see an upcoming short video of this test shot in motion (coming soon!)
Pre-orders are currently open for these figures, and pre-orders for 6" Pilot Kit, Wolf Trooper, Gyre Wolf, Jungle Wolf Trooper, and Roboknight Heavy Metal Armor Accessory will be closed at the SKELETRON Pre-order Store on June 30th.
JoeFest | June 20-22
We are so pumped to be coming back to JoeFest this year! This is a tremendous show, and we can't wait to see all our friends in Augusta. We'll again be in a combination booth with all the cool dudes from Marauder GR. See you there!
DFW G.I. Joe Show | June 27-29
Our friends at Grindstone Toys will be attending the DFW G.I. Joe Show on June 27-29, and they're bringing our RED SHADOWS® with them! Please be sure to stop by their booth and check out the development of CALLSIGN: LONGBOW®
Thanks everyone, and we'll continue to update every month as these remaining figures and accessories finish up!

Hello Roboskullers,
We hope you had a wonderful Easter and are excited to share the latest update!
6" RED SHADOWS®
We're thrilled to report that 6" RED SHADOWS action figures are currently in production at the factory! Earlier this month, we received another round of factory samples (except Skeletron), made final comments, and approved figures for full-swing production.
We're extremely pleased with the final form of these figures. Sculpt, paint, and articulation have all come together beautifully, and we know you're going to love these long-awaited 6" figures. Here's a shot of our 6" Jungle Wolf Trooper- check out the beautiful camo pattern on the amazingly textured sculpt!

TARIFF TALK
As you are likely aware, newly imposed tariffs are significant, with a current tariff of 145% on products imported from China to the United States, which includes toys and collectibles. If this tariff is still in place when our products arrive, SKELETRON will absorb all tariff costs for Kickstarter pledges and BackerKit pre-orders. While future in-stock product pricing may be impacted, our Kickstarter & BackerKit supporters will not be affected.
Thank you for your continued support and patience!
SCHEDULE
Our current estimate of product shipments is below. As you know, the schedule remains a challenge, and we will continue to share the best information we have:
PHASE D - Estimated Late Summer 2025 ROBOKNIGHT HEAVY METAL ARMOR Accessory 6" PILOT CHARACTER KIT 6" WOLF TROOPER 6" GYRE WOLF (BackerKit Add) 6" JUNGLE WOLF TROOPER (BackerKit Add)
PHASE E - Estimated Winter 2025 4" SKELETRON 6" SKELETRON TOTAL ROBOSKULL HARDCOVER
