Here we are 28 December 2006, another year nearly in the bag and barking at the dawn of a new year. The new year will bring some changes to HistoriFigs. Most will be for the better, and a few may make so of you a bit sad…

To start with we will be picking up the pace for production – the goal is to shorten order processing time which will result in faster delivery of figures. Starting in January, we will confirm each order as it is received (better feedback for you the customer). The confirmation, will include an estimated shipping date.

Now, for the sad parts, Several of the Scruby ranges will go on hiatus. A listing will be posted in January and we will give you all a couple of months to get orders in. These figures will still be orderable, but the processing times may be up to 12 weeks. The molds for many figures are just to old and require too much work to provide quality castings, and need to be replaced. As the molds are replaced, the ranges will return to production. However, it may take quite some time to make new molds for everything – thus ends the sad news…

We have started production in the new workshop, the space isn’t finished yet, but it is workable. Last night I picked up the ducting for the new ventilation system, and the work on that should be completed today (I may need to go back and supercharge the system, but it should be functional by tonight). After that I’ll need to move the remaining construction supplies to the old workshop and then I can construct the remaining workbenches and mold storage racks. Alison will be painting the office and game room this weekend and the carpet will be installed next week, so the new office/shipping room will be functional in another week or two.

This weekend, I’ll be updating the main website and adding new specials for January and who knows I might have another surprise or two in store – or maybe not, we shall see what I can pull together by the 1st!
