XM Magneto Re-cast…

[av_one_half first]
[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Magneto on Throne  is the piece that really put XM Studios on the map for many collectors. It  is arguable one of the best quarter scale collectibles to be created in the last few years and in the eyes of many as the best of all time.

Prices of this piece have reach over 300% the original price and it has become a very desired piece to have in anyone’s collection, if they are a fan of the character or not.

We saw a few months ago when the Resinworx Wolverine vs. Ninjas was recast and another body thrown in the sale. When the edition size of the original Resinworx statue had a run of 100 and the re-cast had a rumoured run of 650.

Now the latest statue to hit the re-cast factories of China in the Magneto on Throne…

With the price increase in this piece and the sheer artwork involved, sadly it was only a matter of time until this happened.

It is rumoured that there is a small run of 30 that have already been sold and assigned to buyers.

Re-casting is a serious crime that affects out community and it is important that it is not supported on any level.

A spokes person from XM has stated “We are trying our best to investigate who and where did this….will take serious action on this. Please spread the words to support licensed companies products. If no people buy recast then re-caster will not cast it that very simple so please unite to banish the buyer….spread the words guys. XM need all the support from you guys”.

Boxes!!!

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
We have been collecting a few years now and many pieces have joined our collections as well as not making the cut and leaving, but no matter how many pieces you have in your collection I am sure you have the same problem… Boxes!!!

This is the box the one statue will come in and normally has some kind of print on the box and brief information on the item. Alex is a big fan of the art boxes that have the character background on, but in all honesty the box will be looked at when the statue arrives, but then will go in the attic for storage shortly after.

Then you have the shipper this is normally just a plain cardboard box with basic information and it purpose is just to create extra protection during shipping.

We think that when buying or selling a piece that that having no art box will loose you a good amount. When an item has no art box this normally means no Styrofoam… So if shipping without sadly means it will not arrive in one piece. Both Alex and Geo have brought statues from EBay that have been listed with no original box, but both took he gamble and the items arrived in pieces. In these cases the sellers did not use common sense when shipping and refunds were issued.

Alex actually traded a piece that is famous for breaking in shipping without the original box. He painstakingly carved out a Styrofoam cube with a soldering iron and likely got some kind of cyanide poisoning in the process, but the item arrived in one piece.

We both have brought items without original shippers and feel that it this should not really affect the value too much, but when selling we have had buyers ask for as much as £70 off due to no original shipper.

We feel the issue of boxes is down to the personal preference, but it will make an overall difference to the price. .

We think that you should, but you will always have the risk of it breaking. Maybe if you get a very good price or a local collection this is fine, but always keep in mind that even though you man never plan on selling your collection now, the day may come where you have to and the boxes will take away from the value.

Over the last few years of collecting we have seen many ways of people storing boxes or even making use of them.

We are currently pretty lucky with collecting and storage of boxes as we both have a good sized storage in our attics, but it does not mean one day they will be full… Also boxes are getting bigger and with some of the latest additions the boxes do not fit through the hatch of our attic to store them.

Alex has even looked in to renting a local storage unit for his boxes and some of his collectibles, but the price in London seems to be the same as renting an apartment in other parts of the country. So it is out of the question for us, but we know a lot of people who rent units the other side of the pond.

Some of the best use of space has to go to some of the guys who use the XM studios or Cinemaquette boxes as podiums. You can get away with using these as they are made really sturdy and are pretty stylish looking boxes.

On Facebook there was a guy who remodelled his house and actually built a sub wall and overhead storage in the ceiling beams to store his boxes. Now that is dedication.

Also seen one collector who wraps all of his boxes in clear plastic to stop them getting damaged over time.

One of the funny things that happened the other month was Alex sold three pieces to make space and even though he has 50+ boxes in the attic that look pretty much identical to the average person. He went up in the attic and knew exactly where the boxes he required were and was out in seconds.

We think that even though boxes are big, ugly and take up a lot of room we will never destroy them as you never know what is around the corner. You may have it in your mind that you will never sell, but you just don’t know what drama may arise, or if simply you just loose interest in the hobby.

So we suggest that you always try to get hold of the original boxes where possible for piece of mind with shipping and worse case if you have to sell.

As I am a bit OCD and I like to have things like this in one place I have just put together a few photo albums of the ¼ scale offering from XM at the latest Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention (2015)

I have to say that there are a lot of interesting pieces here and really liking how XM think out of the box with their poses and do not just go for the standard museum poses with their work.

This is only a brief collection of photos I have found on Facebook and I would like to thank anyone who took the photos for sharing with the rest of the collecting community who could not attend the show.

Now who does not love a bit of Eddie Brook as Venom? I have to say that I am a huge fan of the classic Todd Mcfarlane look, while Geo is more towards the Mark Bagley’s look in the great Lethal Protector 6 part series.

Now XM Studios have announced that they are releasing their version of Venom and it looks like a more bulkier version. Hoping this does not mean it is the Mac Gargan (Scorpion) version and bulky as in the Venom in the Madness series where he faces off against Juggernault.

Lately when dealing with certain companies the QC issues have been like a game of Russian Roulette. With some recent collectibles being riddled with poor paint or poorly fitting attachments, to the other side of the scale of them producing some of their best work for years in recent months. **I have to add that the said company have had some QC issues, but I personally have never had any complaints about their top notch customer service team.

I have  seen that in previous releases that companies would send out the statue and hope for the best. As a low percentage of people would complain about these issues in time or not take the $40 creadit. To be honest this normal process reminds me of the scene in the movie Fight Club

“A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one”.

Today XM studios put out the post below in response to their minor Ant-man issue…

From Bryan / Statuforum: “As Ant-man is packed and ready to ship, we will be sending all 700 new heads to all the distributors and customers who have purchased from us – everyone can keep the old head.

It’s more straight forward for the distis, they
order say 50 pcs from us, we will send them 50 pcs of the new heads, and customers who bought from them can contact them to get those heads. For direct customers, we also have their details so we will contact them directly to ship the heads. For people who bought and sold it to someone else, the original customers should still contact the shop where they bought it from (be it direct XM or a disti) and get the head and be a gentlemen (or lady) and send that to your buyer – buyers if you can’t get the sellers to cooperate, get in touch with me and I’ll sort it out for you. (and let me know who’s the seller heh heh… I’ll help you get back at him) “

I really do not know what to say apart from two thumbs up tp XM studios. This is an amazing act of great customer service as the flaw was so minor that out of the 700 pieces produced it is likely that less than 100 would complain. then with the volume of XM pieces that are sold through flippers the response would have possibly been even less.

I am also glad that XM are getting involved if the buyer has a problem with getting in touch with their “middle man” as that could have been an issues with the final owner receiving the new head.
