Interview of Howard Chan by
Mark for One Sixth Republic :
Q: For this year's 2012 Ani-Com, SDCC, and other toy fairs, will
you be releasing any exclusive items fans should look out
for?
A. Yes, we will have exclusive figures again this year for Ani-Com
2012. Not sure how to buy them yet but most likely will do it
online and there shall be no queuing.
For overseas collectors, we are still planning.
Q: Any update on the new Bruce Lee figure of Arnie Kim? Is it still
ongoing?
A:. Currently we will not produce any Bruce Lee figure because of
the license, although there is already a current prototype head
sculpt made by Arnie Kim. But who knows, license rights are not
permanent, maybe one day, HT will do Bruce Lee again.
Q: Do you have any plans on making "Back to the Future"
figures?
A. Exclusive news for OSR: Yes, we have acquired the license of the
Back to the Future and also got the approval of Michael J. Fox. We
will also make the DeLorean vehicle. More announcements will be
coming soon.
Q: Last year's 2011 Ani-Com, I saw a picture released of Joker 2.0,
any words on Joker 2.0 you can share to the fans?
A. It is ready and soon to be released. Further announcement is
coming soon.
Q: I saw Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal figure on your
workplace, will it also be released?
A: Yes.
Q: Why the delay on the 1/6 Scale Light-Up Function Vehicle: Tron:
Legacy - Light Cycle & Sam Flynn?
A: There is a complication on the electricity of the cycle. We are
working hard on it and it will be ready soon.
Q: Fans are also very excited to see the final prototype of DC
franchise (Green Lantern & Batman Returns) and Marvel franchise
(X-Men First Class & The Amazing Spiderman), any updates on
these figures?
A: Green Lantern - Confirmed that this will be cancelled. The
reason is that it is too hard to do the lighting on the figure’s
body as in the movie today. The project is now on hold, license is
still there but on hold.
Batman Returns - Yes hopefully, the Batman and Penguin figure will
be announced this year around December.
X-Men First Class – Project is still in progress and will come up
soon. The first figure will be Professor X.The Amazing Spiderman -
We have got the license and will be in the plan also. We have many
Marvel figures line-up for this year.
Q. Since you have a lot of Marvel figures line-up this year, do you
also have DC figures coming soon?
A: Yes, in fact we have acquired the license of the new Superman
movie which will be coming soon.
Q: Some fans are disappointed about the Reissuing of previously
done figures. Any comments about that?
A: Because there are new design and better technology improvement
these days, and we would like to provide the best to fans, so that
it is better to have a newer version with better head sculpt and
design.
Q: Any message you want to share for your fans around the
world?
A: We are not only a company which works for money but rather, we
try our best on giving good figures for everybody. Some people may
think we are lazy because of delays of releasing some figures but
we are not, we always want to keep the quality and we prioritize on
making excellent products.
