From the pictures? I didn't see it stated either way on the box(es), and the parts are all shown finished, so I assumed they come pre-finished. Does it state somewhere on the box that they parts are unfinished? 

The parts and figures in the pics certainly didn't arrive from China pre-painted, and nobody told the guy that painted them that China would be pre-painting production kits.  I think you'll find a "paint available at your hobby dealer"-type  notation on production packaging. 

Picture the box art with all of those pieces in raw white plastic....wouldn't look too appealing on the shelf.

I honestly thought they came pre-painted. Round2 (or the Forever Fun group, being more specific) offers pre-painted figures, and Round2 has even posted images of the factory in China where there items are hand painted on their Collector Model blog, so I didn't think it was a huge stretch.

I guess we will find out next month...

Considering that they did not paint the resin Joker figure in the Goon car kit, I highly doubt they would pre-paint two generic plastic dudes in a tool kit.

The coffee pot isnt really that odd if you stop and think about it for a moment,  pretty much every garage has a coffee pot.

Your right, its not that out of place. But it is greyed out on the instructions as not being used and among the other parts I do wonder if these parts belong to some other type of kit.

You can see some of the parts above here.
And the instructions:


Anyway, back the the scheduled program

I might of misunderstood you, if so, my mistake.

What the heck does this mean?:

"we don’t want to make the same mistake for our third release as we did with the first two"

Saw that, my guess is they had a lot of people asking if the first two sets were pre-painted, since they only showed pictures of box art with finished items, and no pics of parts on trees or unassembled, unpainted parts.
