The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

For all we know, we don't even know for sure if the 3D rendering is actually feasible as a 3D print (without unforeseen issues that is).
that is a really good point. I couldn't commit without a prototype and color direction shown, but if its even feasible as a 3D print, I never thought of that.

A legitimate concern to be sure, but I think the fellas at XM know what they are doing.

....I’m sure I jinxed them just now

Looks like XM released a statement saying the project did not get enough POs so it's been scrapped. Unfortunate since it looked so amazing.

Talk about a punch in the gut. That really hurts. Really wanted that Thor. Damn.

I'm guessing not too many if well-known A-list characters like Storm only have an ES of 420 or so.

Bah don't be a Debbie downer!

I am hoping for 500, it's a stretch but it's a stunning piece. It can touch comic book fans as well as mythology fans....

This just on Facebook:

"Dear Supporters,

We wish to also extend our sincerest apologies for the delay in updating all on the Caleb Viking Thor project status as we were trying to collate distributors' interest list and negotiating with factories on possibilities of doing lower edition size runs but to no avail.

Thank you all for the interest in Caleb's Viking Thor, unfortunately we did not get the minimum orders needed to fund the project commercially and the project will not commence. Rest fully assured all customers who have paid will be refunded in full and our customer service staff will be in touch with you to expedite the process asap. Caleb and XM are very grateful to all who have placed orders and wishes to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts."
