My big takeaway: "Probably before the end of the year."

Sure, it's not a promise, but it's still good news in my book.

Yes. After all this time, seeing "Probably before the end of the year" was music to my ears.

"Since they are each a different color of plastic, we had to create six different steel tools"

Isn't it the different faces of each die that make each one require unique tooling, rather than the color?

No. If the dice had all been the same color, we could have created a family mold where all of the dice would be shot at once. It is the different plastic colors that led to multiple molds.
