XM Studios Captain America

Well said nemen. ARH was in the same boat and he turned it around (in terms of legitimate license acquiring). People can and do change.

 

[savageHULK]

Yes savage I would but with precautions. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.

However, I haven't heard any issues about XM from any professional people in the business.....yet. So until I start seeing the crap hit the fan....like the SYCO (Darren Martin) swindler, I will work or buy from them until multiple people say or show XM to be bogus or swindlers. Then I am out.

Yeah I agree. This isn't proven to be true, but like with any new company, proceed with caution. I feel like even if this is them, they will redeem themselves like people say ARH have. Their products look great, business models are sound... I'm sure everything will work out great.

Unlicensed work and recasts are both naughty but one is much worse.
There's a few companies producing unlicensed pieces. You think AD have a Marvel & Predator licence?

 

[dan350zr]

This is true, but if how they got started is indeed true, many collectors (myself included) will have a problem with that. I can't support a company that got started by ripping off another company's hard work. I understand this claim has not been verified and certainly hope it is not true.

I thought SS got their start by making unlicensed kits? Illegal is Illegal, not sure how someone can say one is worse then the other unless one is a hardcore fanboy of a certain company

If XM was making unlicensed Marvel statues then I wouldn't buy them, but they are licensed, they are legit so I will buy them....

The noob suggested recasting not unlicensed.

Like I said their both ILLEGAL, so unless everyone in here complaining about it wants to be a hypocrite then they should stop buying SS statues too

 

[izunadrop!]

OK there are 3 things here: 1) Is XenoMorph XM? The answer is a definite yes. It's not hard to find out. Ask anyone from Singapore or Malaysia. 2) Has Xenomorph done recast before... this I don't know. But it's possible. 3) Does it matter? It really depends on you!

So all custom work should require a license...

 

[dan350zr]

If someone makes a statue or kit of a copy protected character for the purpose of making money, yes it's illegal. Now if your talking about modifying a statue you bought from a company that has a license to make it, then as far as I know it's fine..

 

[nemenforcer]

That's my thing, not all work should require a license but its how you get started. Everyone has to start somewhere. Especially if a license is super expensive or exclusive how can someone passionate about it break into the industry? Everything is so regulated now its very hard to start a business without significant capital or backing and then most of the time its not your business anymore.

I assume your talking about starting a business.... Do what GG did and make a statue line that doesn't require a license like Honey Trap line.

If you talking about trying to get a job then you can make all the Batman and Superman statues you want and send them to SS or DC to get a job, you just can't sell them... Although most artist do anyways..

 

[Tavegg]

Even if the rumors are true that's not who XM is anymore. Everyone lies. People make mistakes. They obviously are now doing things on the up and up. That's good enough for me

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

I really don't care. its hard to make a buck in this world and there is no proof to the claim. Just someone causing trouble. They have a legit license, good work and a great pipeline of products from a group that really cares. I think for those interested in XM they will continue to buy from them and for those who were never going to buy in the first place they just have one more excuse to complain about

License schmicense, this statue is insane and the fan boys of the big fish companies are peeing their leg.

Sorry Collector what does AD stand for? The only AD I know off the top of my head is Amalgamated Dynamics.

I only care about having this glorious statue in my collection! I paid for a statue that has been nailed and is worthy of grail status! Everything XM has presented so far has been perfect!

Don't care to know the before or after ....

Not really, but its nice

just nice? ok

 

[RagingBull]

I think the XM Caps looks amazing but everyone's got different tastes. So I wouldn't get upset if someone doesn't agree with your own opinion

Have to agree I haven't seen anything I don't like yet even the hulk the second head makes it look great

Can't wait to start adding their stuff to my collection


This cap is instantly very iconic the pose is great

 

[RagingBull]

Yeah I'd buy all there stuff if I could
