Storm Collectibles - Mike Tyson

[Chockles]

Perhaps something to make it easier for Storm to digest? Like break the list down to categories, top 5 most wanted boxers in their prime, fighters in their prime, dont want to mix and match.

 

[Chockles]

Perhaps lets start with boxers first. Since Storm are considering Frazier and Ali, those two could easily be in their top 5. We need perhaps another 3 popular and well known boxers worldwide added?

 

[Resident Eric]

I just want Ali

 

[Chockles]

If we cant come up with a list, how about which one first then? Frazier or Ali? Which particular year or outfit you want from them? What special items woudl you want associating with them?

If we could break down the lists, perhaps Storm will hear your thoughts and add those requests into the product.

 

[fistfulmetal]

Definitely Ali first. After he won his first championship.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

I would like to see Holyfield, after Ali & Frazier. All in their prime.

 

[Levit05]

George foreman should also be up there....he was a BEAST!

Ali First, I would love to see a second sculpt screaming after he beat Sunny Liston and “shocked the world”

Also I don’t know many accessories other than championship belts that these figures can come with, but a boxing robe for each fighter would be essential, a towel in the case of Tyson.

I think Storm would be very happy to hear so many support and excited fans and would really appreciate the input from all you guys. Im not the biggest Boxing fan out there and neither do I know everything about the sport, so its best to ask the ones that knows and loves about the sport.

When the Storm staff thanked me for their support, they were suprised I bought many. They asked me why I was interested or why did I buy many. They were even suprised that I heard about them before they became Storm Collectibles.

I told them I was born in UK and lived in a culture where Boxing was respected and shown on TV so I grew up in that culture/era with it. However in HK, not many or most likely none will ever know this sport. We agreed that cultural differences made a difference. Hence I said to them I was surprised you would do Boxing figures and in HK as well. You wouldnt expect this kind of commitment to happen over here but its a very nice shocker indeed.

I told them there is a bigger market out there and I had friends that want these, and I menetioned FREAK members would want these. I dont think they even heard about this forum. They are that small a company they wouldn't have known how or where to find interests.

If I didnt speak to them, I wouldnt have known they were considering Frazier and Ali, so I think if more of us voice out directly and become their top priority fans or however you want to call it. It shows great support and needs to do more of these.

You guys are the best at what you know and the suggestions are quite good. Champ belts are a must! Individual Ropes and Towels too. Distinctive sculpts are a much harder one to presuade I think. Storm would probably want thier own final decision on that one.

The way I gather in here, is ALI is at their near the top of must haves. A few mention Holyfield and Foreman. This is a good start. Maybe I'll compile an email/letter and see if they willing to look into this. I dont want to go to far over myself yet. lol.
