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”.

I’ve been painting figures since 1978. Started painting garage kits in 1987 and have written for Kitbuilders Magazine, taught painting classes at Monsterpalooza, Kurt Hammits FearFestevil and Resintopia also helped judge various figure modeler contests around the country. I have also worked for Hollywood Collectibles for a few years as a freelance painter.  I’ve also done many prototypes for figure kit producers over the years.

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.

ARH Studios @ NYCC 2015

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Out of all of the companies that attended I feel that ARH Studios left the biggest impression on me. I do not even collect mythology statues, but over the weekend of NYCC I was close to ordering at least two of them.

ARH had on offer on the show and they all looked incredible, here are the ones that caught my eye.

PCS Collectibles I feel put out a good amount this year and they managed to reach a wide audience. Again some pieces were from SDCC, but there was still more new that larger rival Sideshow Collectibles.

I also really like the way that Jerry Macaluso takes the time out to attend all of the shows.

Well what can we say with this? As soon as it was shown an email came out for PCS to say that the design is going to be changed as fan were not impressed and felt the pose looked like Cammy was slipping on a banana skin. Lets hope PCS come back with a better design. Again though top marks for listening to the fans.

I had reall high hopes for Mortal Kombat’s Kintero after seeing their Goro in hand. I felt that this was going to be a must order for me, but I just feel it is lacking something. The pose looks too similar to Goro, the paint does not looks as good, but I hope to see this in hand one day and I may be eating my words.

Out of all of the statues PCS had on display I have to say I was blown away by their Robocop. I am possibly bias as I am a huge fan of the original, but I few that Jerry and his team have really delivered on this piece. I already own the Sideshow Robocop and said that I will wait and see the PCS Robocop in hand to make a decision on which will stay in my collection. But I think that my Sideshow one will be finding it’s way on a sales pages or EBay in the near future.

Sideshow Collectibles @ NYCC 2015

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Sideshow got across to the East coast this year and brought a wide range of statues to show, but pretty sure all of these were in San Diego 2015. The only difference was Supergirl’s new hand position that changed from the heavily criticized poorly executed salute (Shown in SDCC2015) to now looking like she just smelt a fart, is in shock and is trying to fan it away. Not sure which is better… or worse…

Sideshow managed to also bring a few more pieces across, such as New Storm trooper, Boba Fett, Batgirl, Classic Catwoman, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Spider-man… Zzzzzz. But all of these have been shown before or have even been received already by collectors.

I have to say there was a lot on offer from Sideshow, but nothing new. Maybe they should have saved a few of their pieces from SDCC for NYCC…

Kotobukiya @ NYCC 2015

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
So for me I am afraid that Koto did not have anything that took my fancy at NYCC2015. All they had was the ArtFX and Bishoujo pieces that I know are very popular with collectors, but I have never personally collected myself.

I did have a momentary Geek- gasm when I saw a few photos and quick video clips of this Aliens Warrior Drone. I was really happy to see this as Koto had a small run of Alien collectibles a few years back that I felt was underrated to say the least.

Sadly this was quickly shut down for me as the piece is only 12th scale, but saying that I may still pick one up to go next to my computer.

The Alien Comes with 4 metal floor plates and can be displayed walking, climbing or upside down. Definitely a fun little piece for anyone.

This for me is all to do with me personal love of the original Robocop. I am a huge fan and ordered this on days one. After the second delay of this I questioned why as I bothering to wait and was very close to cancelling due to the wait. I then saw these photographs and I see that Jerry love for Rocobop has shone through and I am very happy I did not cancel in haste. Come on January 2016…

Now this piece blew me away. I love the details all over this statue, from Medusa herself, to the soldier turned to stone and the second soldier trying to escape. I had my finger over the ordered button and with the money already in my PayPal from sales around that time I am really surprised I did not place the order. This will upset some collectors, but to me I think this is better than the original.

Now I feel that PCS Cammy just missed the mark. The pose looks really awkward and was not well received with collectors. Almost looking like she is struggling to stand or had slipped on something, but PCS have done the right thing and sent out an email a few days ago to say that they are going to go back and revise the base and pose.

I was born in 1985 so as I was young a huge influence to my childhood was the original transformers cartoon, He-man, Thunder cats and GI-Joe. When I Got a little older The X-men animated series came out and I was instantly hooked. It only came on Saturday mornings so I discovered comic book stores and comic books to hold my interest in between shows. There my love of comics and Statues materialized. I bought my first statue which was a Moore sentinel series Gambit that took months to save up for. We lived in a bad area I was 70lb and looked like Harry Potter so I didn’t go out and play much. I’d stay in and draw and play with my action figures. I used artists like Jim Lee, Andy Kubert and Michael Turner to learn from and I am 100% self-taught. I was just a kid in the basement with his comic books and dream, lol.

I saw others working on and customizing statues so decided, I could do that. I started off small as I was scared to start chopping up and potentially ruining something so expensive. That quickly subsided; I showed my work and started getting commissions.  I am now currently booked almost a full year out.

I also do custom Metal work, claws, swords, etc. This has become a secondary commission platform. However I handle my commissions differently from most and also will not work with everyone. The time I have to work on these projects is quite limited considering the nature of my actual career so I do pick and choose the people and projects I take on. It’s been fun and I see improvements with each piece so far. Therefore I believe everything is going well  I think is been 3-4 years since I first started statue work, So there is still a lot to learn which is the part I most I look forward to.

I started out on StatueForum, then made a YouTube channel and later made a Facebook page. I’ve worked for a few different license holding companies. Notable recently I won XM studios Design a statue contest for She Hulk.

I designed a few other pieces I can’t really discuss at the moment and am currently working on 2 paint masters/prototypes among the wait list of other commissions. I also have a FaceBook group geared towards other painters and customizers. If you go there please read the pinned post, it’s kind of the mission statement. Link Below

This changes a lot but currently did a complete overhaul of the SS Red Sonja PF, including lots of mixed media and metal work all scratch built which was a challenge and very fun. It also showcases sewing, tailoring, fabrication as well as a style of painting I hadn’t done before. I like being able to do whatever a job calls for. Mixed media options and being versatile style wise I think is my best attribute.

Interest for Mephesto Statue

[av_one_half first]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
While I was chatting to the owner of Imaginarium Art (IA) the other day we spoke about the licences they held and one of the names was Mephesto. Now I am a huge Silver Surfer fan and Mephesto was one of his earliest villains.

So I am really excited about this news, but is there enough love and popularity for the character to warrant IA making one?

I have always been a fan of the 1/6 statue by Bowen Designs, but for my collection it was always a bit too small.
[/av_textblock]

[/av_one_half][av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
I have been told that IA has the licence to make this piece in a few scales.

What scale would you like to see this piece in?

Throne, standing museum or dynamic?

Let me know your ideas.
