Re: QMx: 1/6 Firefly - Captain Malcolm Reynolds (1st page updated with hi-res photos)

Hey guys - Andy from QMx here. Saw all the great comments and just wanted to thank you all for the kind words. We've worked really hard on Mal as it's really important to us to get him right. You guys are the experts, so if you like what you're seeing, then that's just about the highest compliment we could hope for.

I want him and I want him now! Ha

Hi Lakhota - our current eCommerce system doesn't let us take an order without taking the entire sum upfront. And we kind of hate that, so we tend to wait until the product is literally on the boat and heading to the warehouse before we open preorders. That way you shouldn't wait more than 30 days to get your product from the time you pay for it.

We're in the process of fixing this issue, along with a host of others, with the website ordering system. But in the meantime, we think it's better to wait than to sit on a lot of other people's money.

You probably noticed we didn't even announce the figure until he was at the factory. We don't like to wait a long time for the things we lust after, so we try not to do that to our own customers.

If you want to order direct from us, please sign up for the waiting list on the product page. We use that to set the website allocation, so no one who signs up should miss getting their figure.

Looks great so far. Nothing really jumping out at me at the moment. I'm very curious about the body though. Can you give us any information about it? What is its closest analog in the 1/6 world?

That is an excellent way to move forward. More guys doing 1/6 work could take a lesson from you :clap

Hey there Karamazov - excellent question. The body is based on a high-end open source design that we modified to fit the needs of the figure. It's got 38 points of articulation and the standard connection points for hands, feet and head. It should be very close to what you'd expect from a Hot Toys True Type body.

And thanks for the applause. We figure we should treat our customers the way we'd like to be treated. Seems like someone should make that a rule. Maybe even a golden one ;-)
 
Re: QMx: 1/6 Firefly - Captain Malcolm Reynolds (1st page updated with hi-res photos)

Andy, since there are plans for the rest of the crew, have the actors all ready given their permission to their likenesses?

Andy, the figure looks great! All we can ask for is that the final product looks the same as the prototype! Also, please make 1/6 Trek figures! No other company seems to see the popularity of the franchise. I created an interest thread for Star Trek a couple of months ago on this forum and you can see the results here:

Respect. That's one of the few things I really dislike about Hot Toys and Sideshow.

Thanks for the response. I'm pretty excited about this figure.
 
Re: QMx: 1/6 Firefly - Captain Malcolm Reynolds (1st page updated with hi-res photos)

Poor Andy you are going to get bombarded lol. Do you guys have an Edition size in mind, for normal and exclusives? Also any hints on Star Trek rumors........

Hi Slamscraper - Likeness rights are part of our license with Fox. But we also have worked closely with all the actors over the years and they'll be involved to the degree they can spare the time.

BTW, Nathan saw the figure at Dallas Comic-Con and said he thought it was the best likeness of him ever.

Thanks, Trevor!!!

You can't beat Trevor Grove. Quite a coup getting him to do some of those sculpts!
 
Re: QMx: 1/6 Firefly - Captain Malcolm Reynolds (1st page updated with hi-res photos)

Thanks for giving us info, Andy. It looks great so far! The wait just for the exclusive pre-order is going to be excruciating. :lol

Well then, you'll be happy to know that, as mentioned elsewhere on this thread, we have some pretty experienced and talented folks on the articulated team including some super-talented Sideshow alums. The team is working very closely with the factory to make sure they match the prototype.

As for Star Trek, I can confirm that everything except TOS is within our current license scope. But we have to make sure the BDHs are off to a running start before we change focus to another license. Give us time, we'll get there.

Naw, it's okay, love you guys' enthusiasm. And Mal is open edition. He's too important a figure for us to set an artificial limit on production. However, once we've hit demand on the first round, we'll probably keep a handful in stock for stragglers and move on to the next figure. So, even though he's open edition, it's not like he'll be available forever.

How long between figure releases, and who is after Jayne?
 
Re: QMx: 1/6 Firefly - Captain Malcolm Reynolds (1st page updated with hi-res photos)

Andy! You guys are doing a fantastic job with the fan relations! I think we all really appreciate the extra effort you and QMx put into that.

Will Mal (non-exclusive) or the rest of the crew be sold through Sideshow at all? Just trying to plan ahead on how and when to use my SS rewards. Stay shiny.
