King Features Teams with Boss Fight Studio on “H.A.C.K.S.” Collectibles for Flash Gordon and The Phantom



NEW YORK, NY — July 17, 2019 — Boss Fight Studio, creators of the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. collectible action figures, has been tapped by Hearst owned King Features to create a line of figures for both Flash Gordon and The Phantom classic comic book franchises, as well as the iconic 1980 Flash Gordon film.

Aimed at adult collectors, “HERO H.A.C.K.S.” is an extension of the already popular H.A.C.K.S. figure system and will feature 4” scale figures with over 30 points of articulation and highly detailed sculpts. Due out in spring of 2020, Boss Fight Studio will debut the line in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Flash Gordon film.

“We are thrilled about bringing Flash Gordon and The Phantom to a trusted partner like Boss Fight Studio” says Carla Silva, VP/GM, Global Head of Licensing, King Features. “We know the brands are in great hands and with the team’s remarkable attention to detail, they will develop a product line sure to please our fans”.

“The team here at Boss Fight Studio is very excited to begin work on these two long-loved King Features properties,” said Sarah Brown, Director of Business Development and Marketing for Boss Fight Studio. “The inclusion of Flash Gordon and The Phantom into the Boss Fight family of brands furthers our push to grow H.A.C.K.S into all new and exciting expressions. This is only the beginning of what we know will be a long-term success story between BFS and KFS!”

The most widely-read superhero comic strip in the world, The Phantom, created by Lee Falk, was launched in 1936 and has endured for over 80 years. Today, King Features distributes the strip to more than 500 newspapers in approximately 40 countries and it is translated into nearly 15 languages. From his debut as comics’ first costumed hero, The Phantom has the distinction of being one of the few adventure strips in continuous syndication.

The Flash Gordon comic strip was first published in 1934 and was originally drawn by Alex Raymond. His illustrations built a reputation for Flash Gordon as one of the most highly regarded and influential American comic strips. Flash Gordon has since been represented in a wide range of media, including television and animated series, as well as full motion pictures such as the 1980 cult-classic.

This deal was brokered on behalf of Boss Fight Studio by their agent, FanGirl Consulting & Brand Management.

I stumble across a drawing the other day that made me realize something was missing from my horror figure collection. I did not have a Voodoo Priestess, so I decided to make one!

Hey Kickstarters!

We're happy to say that the Mighty Steeds have landed! Our warehouse is now filled with glorious boxes of Steeds.

We're working hard to fulfill the orders, however most of the Boss Fight team is at Toy Fair this week so we're moving a little slower than normal. We promise we're getting orders out the door as quickly as possible. We're excited for you all to get your horses and we appreciate your patience as we work through all the orders. So watch your inboxes over the coming weeks and get excited for the orders coming your way. Giddy Up Boss Fighters!

Ok, I can't hold this back, I have to comment on it.

Items in this shipment
Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. - Mini-Kit Wave 2 - Blind Bags Assortment Box × 1

You may note that the blind bag box is the only item in the order, so unless they are individually putting the bags in the box, the automated message is apparently somewhat ...lacking.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this question, but does anyone know what happened with the centaurs from the Kickstarter? Is the idea completely dropped because it wasn’t unlocked? Have they hinted we may see them in the future?

My adopted figures arrived from Boss Fight today. Here is the next member of my space faring fantasy crew.

Boss Fight's customer service is horrific in general. I am one of many who emailed (politely) too many times over a missing piece, and after being ignored for 3 months I commented on their Facebook page (politely) and was banned from their page. It's too bad. I would have been a regular customer.
