I like the quote they included.

Everyone has a plan ’till they get punched in the mouth.

New pic guys. Spot any difference? I notice new Tatoos on his right arm. Plus a smoother body and face. Less crinkly.

Thanks for posting the pic, man. Tempting, very tempting.

Hey All,

Sorry for the wait. My meeting with Storm didn't happen on Thursday, but instead in the afternoon on Friday.
Just want to thank them for their time. It was a casual meet and the guys were friendly. A very relaxing chat.

Anyhows, the chat lasted quite a few hours. haha wish it lasted more, but sadly I had to shoot off early that late afternoon.

In the end, I pretty much gave all if not most of the feedback that I gathered in this Tyson and Hogan thread.
First of all they were happy to know that people from all over the world recognised them and took an interest in their products. They do listen/read what you guys have to say. They will continue to be unique and do things that others dont.

Now, onto some answers they provided to me on the day. Apologise in advance if my answers dont make any sense. Give me a shout and I'll try and go through them in detail.

For Tyson:-

- The first release is based on 80's Tyson, so wont have alot of Tatoos on the body. More tatoos gradually appeared throughout Tysons career, and hopefully if the product sells, more will become available in future figures.
- The figure that was shown at Toy Souls event in HK was not the final product. There are some adjustments being made to Tyson's thighs. They will be made much thicker, information provided according to a close source from the main man.
- As for concerns about the champ belts, Storm are working hard on this and trying to get them as offical items.
- Preorders for the normal edition will begin at the end of Jan, early Feb. Further details to follow nearer the time.
- Packaging box (same applies to Rodman/Hogan) The style of the boxes will be consistent throughout. Take Rodman for example, Tyson/Hogan will use a similar illustrated art style. Oil painting portrait of the legend on the cover of the box. The boxes are shoe box style made from sturdy cardboard. Form will be provided as inner protection for the figure. Again, a clearer understanding of this can be seen in the recently released Rodman figure.

I believe that is it for Tyson in general. As for future Legends, they are still interested in Ali and Frazier. They cant reveal anymore until they can further gauge this product. They def have taken notice for requested items such as ropes and towels etc.

Guys, feel free to ask for more info or any other questions that I missed out.


Moving onto Hogan:-

- They will do pretty much most of all your requests. Hand gestures, different facial expressions, different coloured outfits, gold crucifix etc.
- They are making Hogan in his prime. Classic and Hollywood.

Storm guys are wrestling fans, and they know the wrestlers you mentioned in the post. What they want to acheive is to make figures that are well known on a international level that will sell. They want to make wrestlers that are unique. Whether body wise and/or their career. This is important because Storm wants to be known for creating unique headsculpts and bodies of each figure they make. That whats seperates them apart.


Side answers:-

- Storm has the MK license. These will be based on the Klassic style and at 1/12 scaled.
- In the future, Storm will not just concentrate on 1/6 but also 1/12 scaled.
- Currently they have not considered other genres yet. They want to see how things go with what they have for now. However they are aware of these requests.
- Rodman fans out there. Wedding dress version will come at a later date. Limited worldwide.

I think I have covered everything in here. If I remember anything or hear anything else, I'll let you all know.

Thanks for reading guys, and hopefully theres more news to come. Chat to you all real soon.

So a 1/6 scale company will be making 6'' -7'' inch Mortal Kombat action figures based on the older games? Is that right?

That is their plan and what they told me on the day. So far their talk on the Rodman Wedding dress ver came true, so hopefully their MK stuff still holds true. Unless stuff happens and plans change.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Will they be at the New York Toy Fair? Any chance we can have some more news on MK?

Thanks Those will be mine then!

Wow, this looks great. I wish it was a statue as I don't like the joints on action figures, but I might get this as there's no good boxing statues.

Good question. I'll try and ask them about this. If they reveal something, then I guess a new thread for t he MK line will be needed.

 

[Resident Eric]

do they ever answer questions on facebook?

As you may or may have not noticed, they have never replied to their posts from day one. I have spoken to them about this and I can understand why they decided not to answer back. I wouldnt want to go into detail why, its a catch 22 situation and Im sure you will all understand if you think about it.

Hey guys. After the Tyson and Hogan reveals, if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to voice out here. When I find some free time. I will pay the Storm guys a visit and put out some more Q+A. I know some are interested in their Mortal Kombat license as well.
