I love "statues" as much as the next guy, but mixed media is also very cool in my opinion. XM could grow their market share by catering to both camps.
Also, please hound Disney for the star wars license! I would love to see what you guys come up with, expecially since Ep.7 is only 1 year away!

Admittedly, these all took awhile to set up but we'd rather delay and ship out good stuff, than rush out bad stuff.
Hold on to your horses though, Capt is certainly out and on its way as we speak!

This is awesome. Sounds like you guys really have it together. I love that XM is trying to cater to its buyers. Just the fact that you openly take suggestions and make changes based on feedback puts you in a class all of your own. Add the meticulous attention to quality control and this company is going to be an all out win. Hopefully other companies can take note and learn how true customer appreciation works. I am looking forward to all of your future releases. Keep up the good work

and if they do indeed get the Star Wars license. its crucial that XM pays attention to detail and does film accurate in design and proportions for all the characters. OT PT and the ST.
hopefully its not a stipulation of the license contract they they cant do film accurate pieces. thats what the fans want. things need to be film accurate when it comes to SW pieces. PERIOD!

Bravo!! Your efforts toward making sure you put out the best status possible are most appreciated and very refreshing in this industry. You will have very many long term and happy customers if you can deliver on this with every release. I am so excited to see what awesome statues you guys are going to be bringing to this hobby.

I'd have serious doubts about the ability to get the SW license, but if they could that'd be epic and I'd def buy assuming it's up to the high standards already posted.
