Characters are all printed!
This weekend I traveled down to NJ to meet up with Jason and Briana of Brainstorm Print & Design to print all of the characters for the included basic character packs. Here's some photos from the day.
All-in-all things are coming along as anticipated. I've had a couple delays in dealing with a couple different companies for the packaging but that's all squared away and should arrive right on time for an end of February delivery for the first batch of Magnet Comics.
It's important to me to get these out on time or sooner so you can all start making comics. I'm really very grateful for this opportunity and I don't want to leave anyone waiting longer than I have to. Thanks again, I'll have a lot more photos and some video coming down the pipeline soon.

The characters look pretty much as they were shown in the original post, so I'm not sure why people seem determined to be so "disconcerted". I'm looking forward to receiving mine, with the blank characters so I can create my own!
Creator Benjamin Baxter on January 30
What are you guys talking about? There's a black woman and a hateful ginger. That's two minority groups right there.
Creator hashish on January 30
In retrospect I should have gotten blanks, but there was description of what the blanks would even remotely look like. But 75% of the characters are clearly caucasian.... The world isn't even remotely like that. At least there is gender equality. I understand that b/w cannot portray ethnicity very well, but dominant facial features and hair can.
I'll have to play with them and then use a permanent solution to add variety.
Creator Ray Gaer on January 29
Thanks for the update and a peek at the production process.
Looking good! Looks like February will be a great month!
Creator Ahdok on January 29
It's not that surprising that there's "a lack of diversity" in four characters. That's why I also went for a blank set. (How many blanks to you get anyway?
Creator Raphael on January 29
Looking good!
When you ship internationally, please remember to put invoices *outside* of the package, with a clear and universally understable description/classification as well as the value of its content. Otherwise, (German) customs may hold it back; having to drive to the customs office is not fun (had to do it for about half the KS projects I have backed...).
Creator Michel R Wittmer on January 28
Thank you for the update.
Creator Daniel Cazzulino on January 28
Thanks for the update, they look great!
One q: how could I update my shipping address?
Creator hashish on January 28
Wow I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to the characters, the lack of diversity is disconcerting.
Creator Muhamad Haiz Shamsudin on January 28
These look great! Thanks for the update Erik.
