Ironman XLII is the toughest paint statue we have. To put in perspective, most typical statues are done in 200-300 pieces per batch (1 month). But because we had to keep rejecting the paint work from the factory and redo the lines to get them as clean as possible, Iron man XLII is only produced currently at 40-50 pcs per batch. This means the last batch out is estimated to be by Nov this year. It's a tough wait (and we get charged more by the factory for extension) but we want only the best to ship out.

Can you share the situation on the proyect? when can we see it or at least a sneak peek?
Thank you!

We've been having a couple of really good meetings with Marvel guys - they are awesome and super friendly! After understanding some processes, we now have to adopt a more regulated WIP updates to the public. This is about following the order of things and making sure nothing gets out of place in the bigger scheme of things. So while we are definitely working on Spidey, we don't have anything we can share yet. There are so many cool Spidey Statues out there (SS has a really great looking one , Iron Studios and Erick's looks awesome as well!) so this is a pretty challenging project plus we've got SGTCC to get busy with so I think we should be able to share something likely 6-8 weeks after SGTCC (which is around Nov maybe)

Every statue differs very slightly in terms of batch production times, as you can see from my earlier comment on Mark XLII but this is typically the timeframe. Most statues take between 3 - 4 batches to complete it's entire ES. Each Batch is approximately 3-4 weeks. For Wolverine, the last batch is out end of Aug (this month). Hawkeyes last batch was already out end of July (last month).

We haven't planned for vehicles for Batman (1/4 scale seems too big! and Hot Toys make amazing vehicles atm) but we are exploring vehicles for other licenses.

It's very similar to our Marvel license, it's not global and is Asia focused.

It's not exactly elseworld - it will be Bruce Wayne himself and it will be Joker himself but they aren't in Gotham... I'm not able to share more until I get clearance. Will try to update as soon as I can.
