Storm Collectibles - Mike Tyson

[Chockles]

Happy New Years every Tyson and Boxing fans.

Just got in touch with Storm CEO and he invited me to chat with him next week. I'm so looking forward to seeing him and just laugh about everything and anything.

Anyhows, before then he would really like to hear about everything that you guys have. Opinions and comments. Good and bad, the lot. Any information is always useful no matter what. Last time I asked in here, many of you guys have already voiced out some good and valid points and I still remember them too.
This time though, I'll be sure to pass them all to him face to face. I'll be bringing my pen and paper to jot down any comments from him and will let you guys know as well. This goes the same for the Hulk figure.

He really appreciates this and hopefully he can express all of this through their products. So for now, I'll let you guys back to drinking and we shall chat again once you all sober. hahaha take it easy everyone.

It's hard to say anything bad about it without the product in hand. But i'd like to see diversity in future projects. So it's not limited to all boxing legends. I'd like to see more famous HK artists made. Any idea when they will start the preordering?

Agree about without a real product it is hard to say if its good or not. I believe that will come later when its out and people get to play with them and review them. That post feedback will come another time.

However it is good to try and get many peoples thoughts before these are made, so to prevent anything bad at a later stage. No turning back as they say.
Perhaps something you like added in the normal edition or taken out of. Your concerns about materials or accuracy etc etc.

These go a long way. Even what you said about diversity is a good comment. Im sure they just dont want to be stuck as THAT boxing company.
I believe they are doing some other HK stars already. Previously they revealed a few painted and unpainted sculpts of the main actors from a HK film called White Storm. Perhaps you would like those? I know Im looking foward to them.

Im sure many are asking about the normal edition preorders about this. I will sure to ask them about it.

Yeah I saw those movie characters and look pretty decent. What about "infernal affairs"? That movie was a big hit. Only concern with the tyson figure is the seamless joints and how they will react when being bent repeatedly. Do you speak or read cantonese?

Its cool you notice those actors. Infernal Affairs done OFFCIALLY would be great, not like those custom ones out there. I'll put this as a side question to them.

The seamless joints, the flexibility and durability is a good question. Im sure everyone here wants to know. As all things plastic, things will eventually break, but of course any feedback from them is still something we can decide upon.

I speak/read canto and live in HK. I was at the Toy soul event and met the Storm guys and gals that were there. I was queuing up to order the figures again and again, and then somehow they recognised me and we started chatting. Over the days I kept relaying info back and forth here and to them, thus they took an interest and contacted me. The rest is history. haha

Sure it will sell out. However Storm will be in prison for making it. Aint worth going to prison for that kind of person. lol

Sure, i'll pass on this comment to them. They are a very small team and just starting up. Im sure they will learn alot from this experience. I hear everyones excitement for figure and Im sure they will be delighted about this. Thanks again

Chockles,

Can you ask if there will be other versions of Tyson as well, like after Prison with tattoos, and Face tattoo version.

Will the championship belt come along with the regular version?

Will they consider selling a double body version like their Rodman figure?

What will the approx. price be for the regular version?

I tried to order at Toysoul on Day 2, and they filled up their orders when I arrived

 

[Jbeltram4]

I'd really be interested in what other boxers and wrestlers they're in talks of acquiring license to. Love to see more 70s, 80s, and 90s guys from both sports. Also if any movie/tv show license may be on the horizon.

Hey Stanlore,
They said at the toy souls they had planned more to come if this sells well. Specifics and details they haven't told me due to reasons I'm sure we can understand. I'll see if I can dig more from them. Like a teaser of some sorts.

The champ belt and price is a valid question and I'm sure many would like to know. They may have locked down these details already for announcing soon so perhaps they may or may not want to share at this moment. I'll press on as well.

As for the double bodies sold as package or separates. This was brought up before at the toy souls again. They said due to costs they were unable to package them and offer to us. I shall voice this out again as it seemed many like to have this option like the ong bak one.

Any other concerns please keep them coming.
Perhaps changes to the figures for Tyson or Hogan. Taken out or replaced with something else?

Thanks

Hey buddy,

This is a popular question from many in both threads for Tyson and Hogan.

Boxers I'm sure we know they have been considering is Frazier and Ali. I'm sure they will try and take these on since the interests is there.
The wrestling side is an uncertainty since they haven't shown anything from Hogan yet.

At the Toy soul they did have a poster displaying they had the Mortal Kombat license. Which era of the game or movie we are not sure of but they were not really excited or making a big noise about it at that time. Tyson was the star of that show for them.

Klassics WINS!!!!

You da man chockles!

You da man chockles!

Thanks. Dont get your hopes up though. Its great news if its true, but I really wonder how much they can handle with such a small team. With all the excitement for Tyson and Hogan, and other figures as well. I hope it wont affect quality. For now though, their concern is manufacturing, delays of products plus with the chinese new years coming up. Pretty much Feb will be dead month from the industry.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah man I get it, the company I work for has it's products manufactured in China so I know all about CNY

I just meant thanks for putting time aside to speak to these guys and relay on all our thoughts

Haha thanks man. Its not always a chance to get to speak to them and have some influence on them. Not hoping for much but its nice to be optimistic. I never expected this to happen, but with everyones help in here, im sure they would very much appreciate all info.

If you have any further input, feel free to continue. Time I have and willing to make, for now. lol
