Update #30 - Shipping Progress & Timeline
12 days ago – Fri, Apr 24, 2026 at 09:47:45 AM

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a quick update focused just on shipping, since I know a few people have been concerned.

Shipping Timeline

We’re actively shipping now, and all US & worldwide orders (except India) should be completed within the next 2 weeks. 

India Shipping

India shipments will begin once the stock arrives from China to India.
As promised, we will honor the original $5–$10 shipping cost, no matter what the actual cost ends up being.

A big thank you to all our India backers for your patience. It really means a lot. To show our appreciation, we’re planning to include some free posters with your orders. 🙏

Signatures

As mentioned previously, I am still away and using a fulfillment service to deliver. If you still want my signature on your figures, please drop me a note and we will hold them off till I return. I might become famous one day! 😂

Support & Satisfaction

If at any point you’re not satisfied or have concerns, please reach out to me directly.
We’ll do our best to resolve the issue or issue a refund if that’s what you prefer.

Thank you again for your patience and support. We’re very close to getting everything into your hands now.

Update #29 - Shipping Begins & A Personal Note
about 1 month ago – Tue, Mar 31, 2026 at 11:16:48 AM

Hi everyone,

First, the good news:

Shipping Status

• The figures reached the US on March 28th and are currently on their way to the warehouse.
• US & worldwide orders (except India) will begin shipping from New Jersey starting next week.
• India orders will be shipped from within India in a few weeks.

Thank you again for your patience. We’re almost there!

______________________________________________________________________________

Personal Update

Now, a quick personal update I wanted to share with all of you.

What was meant to be a short trip to India for my brother-in-law’s wedding has turned into something much longer. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’ve been unable to return to the US. Some of you may already be aware of the situation, and others may have seen related news.

At this point, my return could still take a few weeks or possibly longer.

That said, I didn’t want this to slow things down for any of you. So instead of waiting, I’ve partnered with a fulfillment team in the US to make sure your orders continue moving out on time.

______________________________________________________________________________

Meghnad Army Builder

If you have this in your order, I’ve either already reached out to you or will do so before your order ships.

As a reminder, you have three options:

1. Wait for its release (Wave 2.5)
2. Swap it for a regular Meghnad
3. Request a refund

______________________________________________________________________________

Signatures

Since I won’t be personally shipping the figures, I won’t be able to sign them right now  and I’m truly sorry about that. I'll somehow make it up to you.

If you’d still like a signature, you can:

• Wait until I return
• Bring your figures to a convention I attend

______________________________________________________________________________

Events

I might be attending Mumbai Comic Con. I will confirm soon!

______________________________________________________________________________

Thank you all again for sticking with me through this. Your support, patience, and enthusiasm mean everything and I’m committed to making sure you receive your figures as smoothly as possible.

Update #28 - Wave 2 On The Water & What’s Next
about 2 months ago – Mon, Mar 09, 2026 at 12:58:02 AM

Hi everyone,

First, some news - Wave 2 figures are now on the water and are expected to reach the US on March 20th. From there, the shipment will go directly to our fulfillment partners, who will begin shipping orders on our behalf.

Shipping Plan

• US & Worldwide (except India): Orders will ship from our US fulfillment center.
• India: Orders will be shipped either through our partners in India or personally by me.

I will keep the backers posted. One more Update right before we start shipping.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Comics Update

As some of you know, we’ve also been working on comic books alongside the figures.

This summer we plan to launch a mini-series featuring Vaali.

• Issue #1: Written by me
• Issues #2 onward: Written by Ron Marz (Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, DC vs Marvel, Superman)
• Art: Tadam Gyadu (Spider-man, Spider-man: India, Avengers United Infinity)
• Covers: Bart Sears (Justice League Europe, Warlord, Turok)

Special thanks as well to friends Abhishek Malsuni, Buddy Beaudoin, Raviraj Ahuja, and Azim Inamdar for their help and contributions.

I’ll start sharing art pages and previews soon, and we may run another Kickstarter this summer for the book and possibly some special release figures after all the Wave 1 & 2 deliveries are done.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Meghnad Army Builder Backers

Some of you have already contacted me regarding the Meghnad Army Builder. If you haven’t yet, expect a message from me soon.

We need to finalize these choices shortly so I can adjust orders accordingly before the next production planning begins.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

BackerKit Store

The BackerKit store will be temporarily closing soon, after which no further changes or preorders will be allowed. If you were planning to make any adjustments, please do so now.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Convention Moment

And finally, here’s a photo of Ron and me at Chennai Comic Con 2026, India, talking on the stage about our beloved Vaali! The artwork featured here is by Bart Sears and colors by Azim Inamdar.

Thank you again for your patience and for being part of this journey. We’re almost there, and I can’t wait for everyone to start receiving their Wave 2 figures.

Update #27 - Wave 2 Production Complete & BackerKit Reopens
3 months ago – Sat, Jan 31, 2026 at 10:33:29 AM

Hey everyone,

I bring news - production for Wave 2 is now complete, and the figures will be on the water soon! 😄

BackerKit Update (Important)
BackerKit will remain open for a few more weeks, and we’re unlocking all orders for the next 2 weeks.
If you’d like to add anything to your order, now is the time to doit. Once this window closes, we’ll be locking things down again as we move toward final fulfillment prep.

Important Note: Meghnad Army Builder                                                            The Meghnad Army Builder will be part of the next production run (Wave 2.5). If you are a backer who selected the Meghnad Army Builder, you have three options:

• Hold tight and receive it when Wave 2.5 is produced.
• Swap it for a regular Meghnad figure (perfect if you’d like to customize it yourself.)
• Request a refund for the Army Builder. 

If you haven’t added the Meghnad Army Builder yet, please do not add it now. 😅

Behind-the-Scenes Video
We’ve also shared a behind-the-scenes YouTube video showing the painting, assembly, and packaging process from the factory.
Please check it out and subscribe. It's a fun one! 

Until Next Time!!!!

Update #26 – India Shipping Update
5 months ago – Sat, Dec 20, 2025 at 10:37:54 PM

As of this week, all expedited shipments within India have now been sent out, and some of you have already received your figures! 🙌

If you’d like to get your Wave 1 expedited, please feel free to reach out to me directly or you can simply add the expedited shipping amount to your order on BackerKit and I’ll get it sent out. If we have already spoken about it, your orders should be out of the door next week.

We’re getting close to the next big milestones, and while I’m here in India, we’re also forging new relationships that will help strengthen the project going forward. More updates coming soon. ✌🏻

Thank you as always for the continued support!
