CALLSIGN: LONGBOW Update – OUTLAW

The Grindstone Toys team have shared a new update on their Callsign: Longbow project. For update #28, we’re treated to an art & sculpt updates and more! Check it out –

Hello CALLSIGN: LONGBOW™ Backers!

Can you believe April is over? We’ve been busy making progress on all things LONGBOW™ and preparing for the trek to Joefest (June 9-11, 2023) in Augusta, Georgia.  Come see us at the show: https://www.joefestusa.com/

Art Update

This month’s art is KEITH “OUTLAW” OVERBY. This wise-cracking operator specializes in SWAT tactics and Close Quarters Battle (CQB). As with all CALLSIGN: LONGBOW™  figures, this art is done by legendary illustrator & painter Douglas Hart (G.I. Joe, Visionaries, Stargate).

KEITH “OUTLAW” OVERBY comes with a removable gasmask, SMG, and satchel bag (not pictured)

First Shots

Our friends at SKELETRON shared an update last week, including First Shots of the Retro Wolf-Trooper/Skeletron( and GHOST) o-ring figure.  The next part of the process is that we will review these first shots and ask the factory to make adjustments to fine-tune the fit and details of the figure.  With each of these steps, these figures get closer to delivery!
