Q&A / Paragon FX Group (All done for now, Thank you)

I fully appreciate this thread. Without it I wouldn't have learned that you guys existed. Now that I know I will be sure to follow you and see what awesome things you bring to the table. The whole work-ethic and non-pre-order thing is great to hear as we've seen so many times how that ends up killing a company.

Though, if people want pre-orders, you could always create the pieces and then have them in the warehouse and then do a quick pre-order... and then surprise people 1 month later with the product being shipped. Nah, sorry... that's just silly.
We have joked about that...not that silly! :cool:
 
I agree with Anubisguard would love to see items from the BSG reboot....especially the season one blaster. Also looking forward to the other Blasters from Blade Runner 2049 that were shown on FB prototypes for K's and Luv's blasters. Any ideas on when you might be taken pre-orders on the 2049 blasters....obviously not loo asking for specifics...but perhaps a rough ball park...like "before the end of the year" type answer. Any info on the blasters would be great! Also, I'm really liking your high-end offerings, it's nice to see that your company product line, but also see you are wanting to make sure that it's a quality product...not just a quick money grab for quickly produced items. SO kudos to you guys!!!

Hi Rylo.
Any additional information on the Br2049 blasters? I saw a photo here of them but couldn’t find anything on Facebook or the paragon page.
Thanks

Hah - It's funny how all of page 1 talked about how all of us are trained to keep giving prop companies money early in the form of pre-orders, and then someone asks when Paragon is going to take a pre-order.

Paragon opens up optional reserves when things are well into production, and only charges you when things are almost ready to ship. No pre-orders. It'll be fun to watch progress on props, and get updates, without any skin in the game, just for sheer fun of seeing how hard it is to get a prop made. It'll be like watching build threads on the RPF. Being able to just order something that is in stock brings me back to the olden days when people could just order props on the internet and just get them.

So for the 2049 stuff, we will probably see development updates first . Plenty of time for us to make informed decisions on if we want to actually buy the prop, instead of pre-ordering something just based off a computer generated photoshopped prototype image.
 
I see you will probably do a Beta-Capsule from “Ultraman”, but how about a Science Patrol Comm Pin?

Should be an easy and quick item to do

Thank you. I'd say this year (Q4) is a safe bet. We're pretty deep into the project.

2049 Hero blasters are in now. We are sorting and awaiting our shipping cartons which should be along this week. Model kits and water blasters are also in.

We changed our plan around a little with this one. Updates soon!
 
Would love to pick up a K blaster as well!

On another note, any info to share on the The Lost Boys Blood bottle? When can we expect preorders to open?

Sitting here with a Lost Boys bottle (production sample) right now. They'll be with us soon!

You can join the interest list here. Everyone on this list will be given the heads-up, first.


Reserves only open up when the item is just about with us. We'll update closer to go time.

Thank you
