Can you confirm if you are or are not a part of this Company. I refer you to a post on Planet Figures that states you are. See attached thread.

No not part of the company not been on planet figure for over 2 years!! I will look at that. The partnership is as follows Stephen Headley Terry Houshem and Derick Porter. These are long term friends. I am connected by knowing them and selling my equipment to them. Who ever put it on planet figure is very much mistaken and if you know who runs the site could you please let him her know that i am not connected thank you.

The company is not run by friends of Ian Burton, it is run by Burton himself (The B in TFB) I believe the T is a close friend or relative. Burton is trying to hide the truth concerning ownership which really signals that TFB is starting under the same level of evasion and obfuscation that was a hallmark of his previous company Ellies Miniatures. Dance of death signalled the end of the company and the history of why can clearly be seen by reading the posts submitted by purchasing members on Planet Figure. Those viewing this thread will draw their own conclusions.
Just read the denial of association by Ian Burton regarding this company...wonder why the denial regarding this and the posts on Planet Figure haven't come from those associated with the company and most likely to be affected by the negative publicity.
I might point out that Ian Burton fails to state the reason for not being on Planet Figure for 2 years.....he was actually banned from the site for 2 years!

If your still in any doubt, google Ellies Miniatures, the bloody website is still up and running even though he was bought out a couple years ago! All these kits now belong to a new owner, but the website remains open for business…Absolutely outrageous!

For someone that has no involvement in the company and posting up on their behalf when tbh they probably can do themselves, You claim that you already seen castings, know future releases etc, that a lot of involvement for someone that denies having any involvement and being so much in the know cant clarify what TFB means. So many loop holes here!!!
