Murphy's Law Vs. Blacklist Studios
We wanted to give you an update as to where we are in terms of getting everything together and sent out to you. By now, we hoped (as you probably did) that all the books would be printed and on their way… Problems arose, however, because of the decision we made to upgrade the quality of the cover from a standard gloss cover to a matte cover with spot varnish. The printer we are working with is amazing- if you have seen any of our individual issues in the past, you know they do top notch work. That being said, our printer caught a couple issues we were having and, instead of printing books that didn’t look their best, corrected them. This, however, caused a little delay. They hope to finish printing and binding our books in the next week or so, and we will ship the books out to you as soon as we can. Obviously, once the books are on a truck bound for Blacklist Studios, we will again give you an update and we appreciate your patience.
As for the toys- Deadbear Studios is hard at work on them, but if you follow @Motorbot (Owner & sculpter at Deadbear) you will know he had an accident and badly cut his finger making our toys. While his doctors say he will suffer no permanent damage, his finger (seen in one of these in-process shots) is a bit on the gnarly side right now and has made finishing the figures quickly a bit rough. He is continuing to work on everything and should actually start casting figures in a few days, and all the figures will be done when the books arrive. Again, as soon as we have pictures of the rest of the set & the finshed out of mold prototypes, we will show them.
Thank you again for your patience. Blacklist Studios has been publishing books for 8 years now, and every time we take on a new venture like this, we find yet a new challenge. It’s difficult to have these minor issues, and I know everyone wants their stuff as much as we want to have books in our hands, but we appreciate the support and enthusiasm you all have for Robot 13 as we work through these minor things.
