Hello everyone!
There is news!! As you may know the leg extensions were canceled this last June here in New Zealand. After a lot of consideration my co-inventors in the states decided to go ahead with their own version. Over the last several months they have been figuring out how to do this. As of this week, they finalized an agreement with a production house for manufacturing. This letter is to fill you all in on some of the details.
First, this is a green light, the legs will be made.
The production house is called Area 51 and they are in the UK. The attachment has all of their details. Their website is www.a51uk.com/
Area 51 also manufactures costumes, props and special effects. A lot of you have asked about accessories, from simple hooves, paws and claws to full costumes, well, these are the folks that can answer all of your questions personally. I am told they are quite the full service outfit.
Area 51 is willing to work on various payment schedules for those of you who would like to pre-order. I really encourage those of you who are interested to contact them directly. They won't be putting out an announcement for several weeks but I did send along all of your contact information.
The release date is now fixed for early spring, February-March 2011. Now I know that quite a lot of you have been waiting for almost two years. Over that time you have patiently endured a host of delays including the cancellation. My co-inventors tried hard for a Christmas release this year, but they could not make the October deadline for that to happen. The good news is that early 2011 is more than do-able.
And lastly, I wanted to thank all of you for your enthusiasm and encouragement on this project. It was a great deal of fun to have been one of the first designers. It was a joy to work with other performers and costumers on the original design and I am really looking forward to seeing what cool costumes are created in the next year.
