The definite edition size has not been set for Mags - our promise to collectors is that our statues will never go beyond 999.
Mags will very likely have higher ES than Captain America for instance due to high demand. Hawkeye for instance may turn out to have lesser ES (which helps to balance demands vs supply). ES will be finalized typically 1 to 2 months from first colored reveal (in this case, in Sept 2014)

Thanks

Yup we definitely need to be better at this! We are collectors first, followed by business peeps so we still have lots of learn on business side of things. Do bear with us as we get older and wiser. We are actually looking at some bundling options to make buying our products more cost efficient.These options will likely be finalized and revealed during the Singapore Toy Convention so stay tuned!

Great company and amazing pieces! That said, my question;
I see you a license pending in Europe, but distributors like HEO and PBM are already selling your pieces. That Germany and The Netherlands. Are you selling directly to them or are they getting their pieces via a different channel?
I'm asking this because I would like to know how certain their promise to deliver is. Are you selling a set amount of pieces to them or are you selling to local resellers and online customers first? I.e. Is there a chance that, when I order through HEO or PBM I will end up empty handed?
|
Hmm... I really don't know HEO and PBM. All our appointed resellers are listed on the first page of this thread. We certainly can't sell to Germany or Netherlands so it looks like they are getting their pieces via a different channel. As such I can't really comment on these distributors' reliability so you should communicate and clearly check if they are able to secure your orders for you before you commit with them. In terms of our licensing obligations, we will always sell to resellers in the 5 countries we have listed on the first page of this thread - we will also set aside some pieces on our website for direct sales.

I hope you do not mind if I ask a question which might have been asked already but I was wondering if you would ever consider releasing a statue of The Juggernaut?
Thanks and regards,

Oohhhh we have definitely considered this big bad boy and would love to do a good statue of him. However, considerations are still subject to Marvel approvals. We've actually tried to push through a couple of fan favourites but have been declined due to clash of roll outs. Sometimes we don't even get a reason why really - so we don't want to promise folks anything until we have the confirmation from Marvel.

What are the chances of seeing Alejandro Pereira's MOS & CR Sups released by XM? Much thanks.

We are actually working with Alejandro already! He did our Hulk! As for Superman... well we would actually need to have a DC license first!

There are quite a few of us on this board who have expressed an interest in him in the "XM Singapore's Own" thread. Thanks! Mike

Yes, we would definitely consider any character as long as there is enough demand for it. To help us with our decision, you should send us a photo of yourself dressed in a classic Havok costume, masked and unmasked. Holding a board that says "I Love you XM!" would definitely help!

Ok, we'll need you to send us a photo of yourself body painted in chrome on a cool looking surfboard. Again holding a board that says "I Love XM!: would definitely help!
I kid I kid... again we would consider any characters as long as there is demand but for character requests, I think we should keep it to the wish list thread? Otherwise this thread could turn veeeeery loooong. (Have you seen LoricStone's list? Man... I wish we could do ALL those but it would mean XM having the Marvel license forever!)

so question: realistically, how long do you think it will be until we see a prototype or preliminary sculpt of daredevil from xm studios? (similar to thor and/or ant man)
|
From a product roll out perspective, we are just finishing up on our first line in Sept. Any new characters will be planned, approval requested and announced latest Q1 2015 (or Xmas this year if we are quick enough) so having said that any prototype of new line ups will likely surface in either late this year or Q1 2015.
I'm also gonna be away in Sydney for the whole week on my day time business job so I might not be able to answer questions quickly the next couple of days. Forgive me!!!
