C2 Armors and Riders update
We still have one more assortment left to deliver and that's the wave C armors and riders. We now have new paint samples as well as packaging layouts!
Paint Samples
Catalog shots
We even have awesome new catalog shots of the paint sample armors and riders.
Package Layouts
Package layouts are approved and we'll be working on the packaging files soon. We expect to have final package samples for approval in early November, and if all goes well the assortment is expected to be ready from the factory around the end of November. However it's important to note that I do not expect these in time for Christmas due to the transit time from the factory to our US warehouse.
These items will remain available for preorder on our Cyberzoic BackerKit store until they're in stock. Expect more updates on these four offerings in the coming months!
MOTUFest and the Cyberzoic Zora Kett +Jungle Saber set!
The Creative Beast team was in the Cincinnati area earlier this month for MOTUFest, and we had a blast! For more on that, check out the news article here.
For this event, we prepared a special item just for the occasion- the Masters of the Universe-themed Cyberzoic set known as Zora Kett and Jungle Saber!
This exclusive set is now available on our shop for anyone who may have missed out on getting it at the show. The run was limited to 500 pieces and each unit is numbered.
As a long-time fan of MOTU, it was such a pleasure to design the look and packaging for this exclusive set. It's something fans have been suggesting ever since we first announced the Smilodon!
For a closer look at this special set, be sure to check out our preview video!
Upcoming toy shows
Speaking of toy shows, you still have a couple more chances to meet the Creative Beasts in person this year!
US and UK-based fulfillment of Wave C1 Beasts begins soon! Plus updates for remaining armors and riders!

Hello everyone! It's time for the latest news on all things Cyberzoic. We have a lot to pack up for our next toy show (read on for more on that) so I'm going to try to keep this update uncharacteristically brief. That being said, let's get right to it!
Wave C1 Fulfillment Status- Shipping soon!
Starting off with most relevant/ exciting news- the wave C1 beasts are arriving at our New Jersey warehouse TODAY! This wave consists of Lizard Dragon, Carnotaurus, Yutyrannus (Cybezoic), and Yutyrannus 2.0 (Beasts of the Mesozoic).
Plus, since they were made at the same factory as the beasts, we're also getting the rider figures of Fire Knight and Helina as well!
All six of these items will be shipping out to Kickstarter and preorder backers within the the next few days, so keep an eye on your email for those shipping notifications and if you still need to update your shipping address, please contact us as soon as possible!
Preorders
We currently have preorders still up on our Cyberzoic BackerKit store, but as of July 1st, I plan to have these six items moved over to our regular web shop at creative-beast.com with in-stock status and at the regular MRSP.
Preview videos
For those wanting an early look at these new beasts, be sure to check out our awesome preview videos on YouTube!
Carnotaurus
Lizard Dragon
Yutyrannus (Cyberzoic)
Yutyrannus 2.0 (Beasts of the Mesozoic)
And stay tuned for preview videos of the B2 riders soon, so keep an eye out for those. Speaking of the armors...
Wave B2 Armors and Riders update
In the last update, the wave B armors and riders were expected to ship from China at the same time as the wave C beasts. However, despite most of the final B2 samples passing final review, there were still some tolerance issues with the Pyrodactyl and Jetraptor armors, so I had the factory hold the order. There was also a printing error on the Jetraptor packaging where the color border was obscuring some of the package art and that required reprinting.
Adjustments are being made for these issues and I'll be reviewing new final samples at JoeFest this weekend. Assuming all issues have been fixed, these will finally ship from the factory in late June/ early July with US/ UK fulfillment estimated for mid to late August. I thank you all for your patience while waiting for these, but it won't be much longer now!
Wave C2 Armors and Riders- first test shots
Tooling for the wave C armors and riders has been completed and we now have our first set of test shot samples! This assortment includes the Decimator armor with Dybukk and the Ice Stalker armor with Qi'Lara.
As expected, there's still some tweaking needed, but these are already way beyond the original armor and rider test shots for wave B, so we're off to a great start. These sets are already looking awesome, just take a look!
Wave C2 is currently estimated to ship from factory in Sept.- US/UK fulfillment est. for Oct. or November. Stay tuned for more as development updates!
JoeFest '26!
We're heading south this weekend for our next toy show appearance, JoeFest in Augusta, GA! Ross, Chris and myself will all be on-hand with amazing new prototype reveals, ZOIC gaming, and of course plenty of Cyberzoic and BotM/C products for sale. Come out if you can make it- it's always a fantastic show!
Sprinter Teaser
One of the many cool new prototypes we'll have at JoeFest will be a first-look at figures from the next assortment of Cyberzoic for 2027, including the new Sprinter armor for Austroraptor, which was recently featured in our Cyberzoic comic.
Here's a teaser image of the Sprinter we dropped a few weeks back!
The Next round of Cyberzoic figures ships from the factory soon, plus the return of the BotM Yutyrannus!

Hello again everyone, and Happy Spring! It's that time again- yes, time for another big 'ol progress round up, showing off all the latest of what's to come from Cyberzoic!
While we had the usual pause in production for the Chinese New Year holiday in February, we've been off and running since, closing in on a finish date for wave B and finalizing the big beasts of wave C!
And just a quick heads-up for those that come here as your main source of Cyberzoic news- if you aren't doing so already, I highly encourage you to also follow our progress on social media at Facebook, Instagram, or X as I post weekly updates on our Cyberzoic Kickstarter progress among other projects. If social media isn't your thing though, you can also catch those same posts on our News' section of my website. Due to the higher engagement and reach of our social media compared to our Kickstarter updates, our focus is on the smaller updates for those channels as opposed to creating more frequent updates here. But that being said, you can always expect some brand new reveals and news here on Kickstarter first, so I hope you all stick around to the end to see all that the Creative Beast team has been cooking up lately- it's always a lot. Now let's go!
Wave B2 and C1 are shipping from the factory soon!
In my last update, I showed off the first in-packaged samples of the wave B2 armors and riders as well as a look at the early production. But this would of course be interrupted by the CNY break that began in early February and ran through the remainder of that month. Production recommenced in early March and below are just some examples of the in-progress painted parts.
Production for wave B2 is currently in its final stage, with finished samples being sent to me this week. For those following along, the previous estimate that I'd been provided with was for production to wrap up by late March. However, the factory needs a bit more time to make sure everything is functioning properly, so they now expect to have this assortment ready to ship by the end of April. But on the bright side, this wave B2 delay will align better with the release of the wave C1 beasts, both of which are estimated now for a June release for US and UK-based fulfillment. And with that in mind, we have...
The wave C1 beasts are also undergoing the last stage of production with final samples being prepared for my approval soon. And while we don't have packaged samples for these yet as of this writing, we have the next best things- paint samples and packaging layouts. Take a look!
But wait, why is the Beasts of the Mesozoic Yutyrannus crashing the Cyberzoic party? And where is the previously-mentioned Yutyrannus upgrade pack? Read on.
To recap the recent news: as part of the Cyberzoic Kickstarter incentives, those who backed the new versions of Dryptosaurus and Yutyrannus during the campaign, would also receive a complimentary upgrade set of the newly tooled neck and lower legs/ feet in their respective Beasts of the Mesozoic colors, thus allowing those who have purchased the original BotM versions of those figures to upgrade them with the same articulation as their Cyberzoic counterparts. And while this worked well with the Dryptosaurus, the Yutyrannus mold proved to be a bit more complicated. It turns out that because of the space needed inside the neck for the additional barbell joint, volume had to be reduced on the front of the torso to maintain the same proportions as the original figure.
As you can see below, the tooling for the torso had to be modified in order to fit the new neck properly, thus making the old body incompatible with new neck and leaving an unsightly gap if used with the older body.
This upgrade set started off being more complicated than the Dryptosaurus set since the original Yutyrannus had the head-keyed neck piece, which necessitated a retooled head to be included with the new upgrade set. So with the torso also being incompatible, it makes the most sense to just put the entire figure out for a second time. Plus, many people have asked us to reissue this figure anyway, so it ends up being the obvious solution.
However if you do have the original version, you'll be happy to know that it's expected to maintain its value since the new version will have some notable differences. Aside from the neck and ankle improvements, the reissue will also feature slightly brighter, greenish eyes, a medium display stand instead of the orginal rock base, and updated packaging to match the current look of the BotM line.
As for the Cyberzoic Yutyrannus Kickstarter campaign backers- we’ll be offering a credit of $35 toward the purchase of this figure, which was going to be cost of the upgrade set. To receive the credit, just follow these steps:
Preorder the BotM Yutyrannus hauli v2 reissue on BackerKit here.
After purchasing, contact us via Kickstarter messenger or at [email protected] to request the credit.
Once we confirm your eligibly as a Cyberzoic Yutyrannus backer from Kickstarter, we'll refund you $35.
And that's it! We would just issue a coupon, but the BackerKit platform doesn't allow this option, unfortunately.
For those wondering if backing the original Yutyrannus or other Tyrannosaur Series figures from our 2021 Kickstarter would also qualify you for this bonus credit- it does not, sorry. The backer incentives in that case were the reduced pricing and bundle options. This Yutyrannus upgrade credit is exclusively limited to the Cyberzoic campaign and is not retroactive with prior campaigns.
The packaging files for this assortment are finished and the final package printing is now underway. Here's sneak peek at what's to come!

Yutyrannus
Lizard Dragon
BotM Yutyrannus
Keep an eye on our social media channels for more news on final in-package samples soon!

Current production status for waves B2 and C, plus the Cyberzoic Comic debuts and more!
10 months ago
– Fri, Jan 16, 2026 at 10:37:42 AM
Hello again Everyone and Happy Belated New Year! I hope your 2026 is getting off to an excellent start so far. I for one had a great holiday season, but am glad to move on to the new year. Last year was an amazing one for Creative Beast Studio, which also means we've been super busy keeping up with all of our projects and day-to-day tasks. Hence why this Kickstarter update is a bit later than usual! But as a lot of you know, we always post smaller updates on our social media and news section in case anyone is seeking the current status.
With that all said, we have a lot to cover, so let's jump right in, starting off with..
Current Production Status
Wave B2
For those following our updates here, you know that Wave B2 (armors and riders) has taken a bit longer than anticipated, as most things tend to do. A large part of this is due to us working with a new factory for the majority of this segment (minus Helina and Fire Knight) and as you can assume this requires a lot of trial and error in terms of work process, especially when the items are new and complicated such as our dinosaur armors.
We faced another hiccup recently when we were given a revised production invoice for these items which had an average increase of about 35% for the armors dueto the unexpected labor invovled, which is pretty significant considering our profit margins on these items was modest to begin with. So I paused the project for a few weeks to get a second quote from our main factory. Their pricing was marginally better, but considering the time it would likely take to acclimate their team to the new items, which are quite complex, I didn't feel it was worth the small savings and decided to stay with the initial factory. I have a lot of confidence in this new factory and they've been extremely receptive and easy to work with, we just need to take everything that last step across the finish line.
All of that to say that wave B2 is now expected to be completed in late March, with the main fulfillment now estimated for early May. There was a chance of getting these done before the upcoming Chinese New Year break in February, but we both agreed that we can't rush them and the result would be better if they had time after the break to finish. So I do apologize again for the delay on these, BUT I'm so excited about how they're turning out so far, and I'm certain you all will be glad that we waited once you have them in-hand.
Production is underway!
Even with the big CNY break coming up, production for B2 is well underway and they're getting as far as they can before the holiday shutdown. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at some of that progress so far.
For more info on the wave B2 items including the current delivery estimates, you can always check the product listings on our Cyberzoic BackerKit Preorder store.
In package photos
In addition to the production progress, we also have our first-look at the painted in-package samples! This stage has always been one of my favorite parts- take a look!
Armors
Riders
We also have a look at the riders in-package, but note that Badlands Sentry and Knight Pilot are currently missing the inner background color, which will be there on the final versions.
Wave C1
Now onto the new Beasts! I'd previously reported that we were hoping to have all components of wave C ship at the same time, but the delay of B2 also affects what is now C2 as this is also being done at the new factory. More on that in a bit.
So the wave C beasts are now expected to ship ahead of the armors and riders as we've done with A and B. These beasts are currently expected to ship from the factory in mid-April, which means main fulfillment will be in late May/ early June. Currently, the factory has provided two rounds of test shots, and are currently working on paint samples to be finished before CNY.
Test shot update
As mentioned, we have received round two of the beast test shots. All of these figures had adjustments made such as improving articulation range and gap reductions between the parts for better function and appearance. I'll have more photos later on, but here's a quick look at the recent test shots.
While the improvements aren't noticeable in the photos, the wing fits to the body and the limb joints have been greatly improved for the second test shot version.
Package layouts
Package design work will begin later this month for these beasts, but we do have layouts for each figure to give you an idea of how they'll be packaged and what will be included with each one.
FYI- the Yutyrannus upgrade set is part of this assortment as well, but just isn't pictured here.
Wave C2
The armors and riders for wave C are coming along nicely and are currently in the fine cut stage.
I've reviewed and provided notes for the new fine cuts and work on these will continue right after CNY. There's no set completion date yet from the factory, but May or June seem likely. Here's a look at the fine cut models so far.
We'll have more news on these items in March!
Dragonslayer replacement parts are on the way!
This is a follow-up to my announcement from a recent news post in case anyone here missed it.
Replacement Dragonslayer parts sets will be available soon for no charge to anyone who ordered this armor unit. But please do not request this set unless you know that you need it as supplies are limited. While I'm not certain what percentage of the armors have defects, I wanted to make these available to anyone who needs them. These are currently being shipped to us along with the new Beasts of the Mesozoic/ Cenozoic 'Stegosaurus' wave, so we expect to have them in late February or early March. The set which consists of both helmet halves, both tank brackets, and center consul, will come in a plain white box as shown below.
If you ordered a Dragonslayer unit and have trouble with the helmet pegs or vehicle mode brackets, please contact customer service at [email protected] with your Dragonslayer order info and photos of the defective parts, and they'll put you on the waiting list.
We're so thrilled to finally have our first issue finished and are very proud of the result. Please be sure to give it a read and let us know what you think!
Also check out out this awesome animated teaser trailer for the comic and please be sure to share it with your friends!
Plus, issue 2 is well underway now- here's a sneak peek!
No info yet on the release date for issue 2, but we plan to get faster at these as we go along!
