Just a quick follow up to my earlier post. All in all, things are moving surprisingly fast given everything that needs to go into restarting a product line. We’ve made significant progress on the product dev front and are expecting our first samples from China within a week. A set of samples is also being sent to Marvel for approval and we expect they’ll be as impressed as we are (fingers crossed).

We’re still not ready to announce “whats”, “wheres” and “whens” of the project but as soon as I am confident we are on track to hit our targets you’ll be among the first to know.

Everything else is moving forward. More news as I get news worthy things to talk about.

Awesome news! So models are ready, just need approval. I'm getting excited. Will there be changes to the HoT powers or figure points that have been posted on this site?

Sccchhhwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Bring on the HOTness!

How many points would this be? And would I be able to attach this to any characters that have leap/climb?

What if while using Charge, I push onto Leap/Climb? Would I be able to then take "Another step forward?"

Harpua? Quebbster? Help with this? Would I be able to take another step forward if I already took two steps back?

You're blowing our collective hive mind, Mr. Ziran. Why, I myself am as giddy as a school girl. Thanks for the news!

Does anyone with experience in this sort of thing have any idea of a timeframe (that is, the steps that he has described, approximately how far along in the process of a set is this)?

awesome. simply awesome. and, what bullseye100 and brojase said.

Good news in a week of bad news for me. Well, this and that the Penguins are going to the finals.

Awesome! This is the first concrete news we've had in a long, long time-- since the closure, in fact.

Two cases please!
Thank you!

Hey, this could mean that we actually get product before September, which would be AWESOME!!!!

OK, for Maryland Mega Games that means next Saturday, then June, July and maybe August! Then back to playing with a NEW SET!

Oh yeah!

Two case...maybe three

that's great to hear. i really hope it can get turned around and progress forward QUICK.

i'm guessing that if Marvel thought they the sculpts looked okay, and liked the dials, they could turn around real quick. here's to hoping!

Woohoo! Party at my house!!!!

Thanks for keeping us updated Justin, it's appreciated.

...

They can't say the 'whats.'

I have a sinking feeling they're going to scrap HoT and put together some hodge-podge of popular characters and deny me my Bi-Beast.

Fantastic news, I really hope HC gets going again. I've personally moved on and won't be buying any, but I would love to walk in a comic shop and see kids playing clix again.

Ziran...........COST, COST, COST. Keep the costs down, as much as possible to get people back in.

Good news!
