Squadron!
Stand to attention, this is going to be one hell of an update.
Head straight to the bottom of the blog post for the TLDR version.
I have been attempting to write this blog since Saturday but every time I progressed with it I received a new delivery with new products and the blog post has grown with each package that has hit the welcome mat.
So in an effort not to wear out your eye muscles I have endeavoured to re-structure the post so that it’s less conversational and more factual. However I am compelled to give you a brief informal intro.
You have all been amazing Squadron Members, those who were able to take part in the Facebook Flash / Thunder Skope release decision from the last post sounded off a unanimous Thunder result giving the power to the civilian masses and forgoing your 24hr release privilege so that the most people can enjoy the release in one place for the limited number available. I am humbled and I have had a message from a non-Squadron member urging me to thank you all for deciding to do that, you’re touching peoples hearts! And as a thanks personally from me, as per the condition of Thunder, you will receive two brand new coloured Hiwez Illustrations signature patches for every Skope you order in the first 24hrs of release from hiwezart.com.
ALL patches detailed below will be available at hiwezart.com from Friday 17th July at 1900hrs BST.
Following that they will be available on the Hiwez Squadron Private Store with the Squadrons 10% discount applied.
And so… Onto the details and the important information regarding who, what, where and when in order of what you know about to what you currently may not know about. With pictures to aid us on the journey.
Tactical Teddies: Skope limited edition morale patch: (£15GBP per patch)
At long last, the Skope character will be available to rock on your gear or patch walls in his Desert Ops attire.
Skope was first illustrated in the Winter of 2016 and captured the hearts of many as he fast become a top design on my Redbubble store.
With every Skope patch you purchase you will receive the numbered art card and two stickers. A skope sticker and a special edition camo version of the Hiwez Illustrations logo.
Furthermore as per the rule of Thunder, if you purchase Skope from hiwezart.com in the first 24hrs of release you will receive the new ranger eye Coyote Tan colour and a second new secret colour version of the Hiwez Illustrations Signature patches completely free.
New Hiwez Illustrations Ranger Eye Signature Patches. (£5GBP per patch and one free with Skope)
Something I’ve been looking forward to for a while now is adding to the Hiwez Illustrations patch colour collection. As it currently stands at Black, OD Green, Poppy Red, Squadron Grey and the exclusive Gold version only available when meeting me at a trade show or airsoft events.
These two new colours will be available to the public, starting with the Coyote Tan version in the image releasing the same time as Skope; then the secret colour being released in August. You fine Squadron folks will be the first to receive one of this new secret colour with every Skope patch you order and I am very keen to hear your opinion of it!
Special Hoperations: Bunnolorian limited edition morale patch. (£12GBP per patch)
Patchlab and I teamed up a short while back to bring you the Special Hoperations: 1945 bunny squad. It was a great project and a lot of fun from beginning to end. With the recent release of Star Wars’ Mandalorian series I was inspired to make a sketch up (avoiding direct IP) of a bunny version protecting a baby carrot. It made me chuckle and it made Patchlab chuckle too so we went ahead and added it to the collection!
This patch measures at height of 3″ so it’s a more standard character patch size compared to the previous set.
It should also be noted that I am stocking numbers 101 – 200 on this run. If you are after the hunt for low numbers then patchlab.de is the place to go.
If you decide you would like to purchase this patch on the same release date as Skope then you can add them to the same basket, I don’t want you to miss out on your Squadron discount though so I have created a code for this and the patches below to put in at checkout to deduct 10% from the total. This code will only be active for the first 24hrs of the release on hiwezart.com
The discount code is: HS10
Airsoft Anatomy and Speedsoft Anatomy character morale patches. (£12 each per patch)
Another great project pops out of the woods with Patchlab! And more ancient artwork from the Winter of 2016 haha.
The Airsoft and Speedsoft Anatomy character patches will come initially attached to a backing card in its position amongst all the text of the original art depicting the comical titles of each section of the loadout. A perfect blast from the past for either side of the sport.
I will only be stocking 50 pieces of each other these designs and again if you decide you’d like either or both of these and you pop it through the checkout on Friday 17th at hiwezart.com, don’t forget to punch in the code HS10 and get your 10% off the total.
That is it from me and what an update it’s been! I am very keen for next weeks releases and I hope you are too.
Just to give you the info breakdown again and to supply you with a TLDR version.
Info is as follows.
- All patches above release on Friday 17th July at 1900hrs BST on www.hiwezart.com
- All patches above will then be available the following day on the Hiwez Squadron Private Store with the usual discounts.
- Any Skope patch purchases from hiwezart.com in the first 24hrs will receive two new Hiwez Signature Patches for free.
- If you want to pick up a Bunnolorian or either of the Anatomy patches on Friday 17th please remember to use your time limited Hiwez Squadron discount code at the checkout: HS10 to get 10% off your total.
- The reason I am not releasing the Bunnolorian or Anatomy patches 24hrs early is only because it will complicate the shipping situation for us both, so the discount code is a way around that.
At ease Squadron. And thank you for your time and attention.
You will hear from me again soon.
Hiwez out!
