If you're a Marvel or DC fan, you likely know what XM Studios is. For the uninitiated, XM Studios started out as a passion project for Ben and Seng Ang, originally offering model assembly, paint jobs, and airbrush classes in 1997. Over time, XM has grown into a globally recognized brand in premium collectibles, producing some of the best luxury collectibles based on licensed properties. Their products are AMAZING!
On January 2022, the flagship concept store will open its doors for the very first time. The store will occupy 19,000 square feet across one floor of Kitchener Complex and showcase over 300 statues of characters from Marvel, DC, Alien, Godzilla, Star Wars, and a bunch more. Lifestyle products, apparel, and other collectibles are in the works and will be launched over time in phases.
The space will house amazing statues from a number of different licensors and seeing everything in one area is going to be mind-blowing, not to mention a fantastic opportunity for some amazing pictures.
Apart from just the statues, the XM Studios concept store will also have dedicated spaces suitable for themed product launches, team meetings, pop-ups, or whatever function needs to be surrounded by high-end superhero goodness. There's also an in-house gelato coffee bar, 99, which will be serving artisanal gelato, coffee, and tea.
"We are extremely proud and excited to launch this first-of-a-kind store in Asia, where design and imagination are pushed beyond the boundaries of collectible experiences. Housing the region's biggest gallery of collectible statues, we look forward to welcoming our community and fans from around the world to experience XM right here in Singapore."
Ben Ang, CEO, and Co-Founder of XM
I always dreamed of having a room full of high-end premium statues like these, but if I spend $1,000 on a statue, my wife will literally castrate me.
