    • As we mentioned in last month's update, these figures are currently with the pain department. Mid-month, our project manager (Dave Proctor) at the factory shared these images with us of the figures making their way through the paint process.

Please note that these parts have some paint applications, but not all of their paint, and will have additional detail upon completion. These are in-progress shots.

• Paint work continues on Krasny-Ninja as well.
