Hmm actually, I'm taking about half pay cut to do this XM thingee but hey the passion and dream is worth it! :) Besides, I'm sure couple of you would buy me beer when I visit your areas ;)

Anyways, as promised, a much overdue update from us!

1) Shipping Dates update
The ETAs of all PO statues are out - for full listing check out http://www.xm-studios.com/po-ship-dates.aspx. Last batch of Mags will be out by 8th May, Ben is at the factory right now making sure the last batch of Mags are done proper before letting them out to the wild!

2) Cable's fate
Just had a quick call with the Disney Reps earlier this week. It seems they are still thinking of cutting back more X-men products and Cable's been marked :( But we are making a case that we've already spent a lot of money and time to produce the prototype and printing, and that it was actually approved earlier on so the local Disney boys are trying to help us negotiate. News on this will be out in the next 2 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed and pray for us y'all!

3) 1/6 X-men Diorama
Kinda like in the same situation above but the good news is that Colossus and Sentinel have been green lighted - the bad news is the remaining statues are currently still in limbo. We're really pushing for things to be greenlighted soon as the SG Comic and Toy convention is in Sept and we are rushing to get these prototypes ready for the show. Time is running out and the XM boys are sweating like hot dogs... Keep your toes crossed as well for this one!

4) 1/4 Spider-Man
You've been seeing some sneaks at Kraven, Doc Oct etc. Mary Jane is a challenge. Our initial designs have been rejected so we are still reworking on the designs. Doc Oct is undergoing some changes, we are exploring and experimenting having the tentacles support the good doctor in a more dynamic pose. The solid heavy weight of the statues make this quite a challenge but I have faith that Seng and team will make this happen.

3) Medusa
4) Daredevil
5) Elektra
6) Dr strange

Ghost Rider, Punisher, Winter Soldier or ANY other characters cannot be announced yet until we get the nod. The approval process has changed and we're still trying to get the hang of it.


I hope I've covered it all? Top Cow, XXXX XXXX and XXXXXX can't be announced yet so I'm sorry I can't reveal much more at this point.

P.S: I was lucky enough to catch sneak preview of Avengers 2 in Singapore last night. Awesome!
