2026 Production Updates -

As we continue moving further into 2026, we wanted to give everyone a proper update on where things currently stand across the TRC line. A lot has been happening behind the scenes over the last few months, and while not everything is always visible publicly straight away, multiple projects are now reaching some very important stages at the same time.

​

First off, Paul Orndorff continues to move through production and is now firmly into the painting and packaging stage. The unpainted models are complete, and we are currently waiting on final production completion before shipment begins to TRC and partner retailers. We remain in contact with the factory daily throughout this process and, as things stand right now, we are expecting completion by the end of the month. Once preorder fulfilment is complete, Paul Orndorff will return to general sale. This figure has been one of the biggest projects we’ve tackled so far and seeing it finally reach the home stretch has been incredibly exciting for us internally.

​

Marcus Alexander Bagwell, 2 Cold Scorpio, and the upcoming TRC 2 Pack are all now progressing together through production as well. Manufacturing of the unpainted models is beginning, while final paint applications continue to be tested before everything moves into full production sign-off and packaging. We know people are eager to see these move faster, but paint testing and production adjustments are genuinely some of the most important stages when it comes to the final quality of the figure, so we want to make sure everything is right before pushing ahead too quickly.

​

Joey Janela remains in production too, although some stages may begin slightly later depending on the current molding schedule for Bagwell and Scorpio. Internally, Joey has been progressing really well and current plans still place preorders somewhere around June/July if everything continues moving as expected. There’s been a lot of excitement around this release already and we’re looking forward to showing more once things move further along.

​

Danhausen has now entered the prototype stage, with the completed 3D model sent for in-house resin prototype printing. Once completed, the prototype will move into hand-painted testing for scale, detailing, and final presentation adjustments before manufacturing tooling begins. Assuming timelines continue smoothly, we’re currently aiming for preorder availability around July/August.

Norman The Lunatic is now approaching the end of the final design stage. The core model itself is nearly complete, with remaining work mostly focusing on accessories, smaller refinements, and finalising the second variant design. This has been a really fun project to work on and one we’ve wanted to make sure feels completely right before moving forward.

​

Johnny B Badd and Van Hammer both remain in earlier development stages, but work continues actively behind the scenes on both projects. Johnny B Badd is expected to move into 3D modelling soon after previous design adjustments delayed progress slightly earlier on. Van Hammer continues to move carefully through development as we prepare to speak with Mark’s estate in the coming weeks. Their involvement is something that’s important to us as we continue shaping the figure.

​

Behind the scenes, several additional projects are also progressing privately. Two modern talents are currently deep into the design process and are both getting very close to completed models internally. Alongside that, we also currently have an unannounced early 90s talent in the proposal stage that we are extremely excited about. The model itself is already completed internally and currently awaiting final approval and sign-off. Without saying too much yet, this is a project we personally view as a very major release for the line and one that could potentially become one of the standout figures TRC has produced so far. Because of that, there is a strong possibility that this release may need to slide in between other planned launches once approved, simply to maximise the impact of the reveal and overall release window properly.

​

Outside of the figures themselves, a lot of work has also continued on improving packaging, presentation, production communication, and long-term planning for the line overall. As TRC continues to grow, so does the amount of moving parts involved behind the scenes, from approvals and production scheduling to shipping coordination and fulfilment planning. While timelines can sometimes shift because of that, it also means we are able to continue growing the line in a much bigger way moving forward.

​

The remainder of 2026 and the move into early 2027 is honestly shaping up to be the busiest and most exciting period TRC has had yet. We genuinely appreciate everybody who continues supporting the line, following updates, and sticking with us throughout the process. There’s still a lot more to come. - 09/05/26
