Master Replicas PURCHASED by Factory Entertainment

[Skidmarks_Diecast]

I think FE's biggest challenge is going to be finding a better overseas manufacturer who can produce quality products. That was MR's big problem. The QC really has to be on the manufacturing side, in China, because there's no way a handful of employees, working in an office suite somewhere, can perform QC on thousands of products loaded in a warehouse. The Chinese factory, used by MR, was not capable of the kind of quality that customers expected for high-end collectibles. FE's success will be contingent on them finding a quality manufacturer IMO.

Perhaps, but the Trek license belonged to MR both before and after they were purchased by Corgi.

Perhaps a bit of background on the Master Replicas - Corgi - Cards Inc transaction will help.

Let's hope for a Klingon Disruptor finally.

And James Bond!

Interesting... where did you hear that from? I thought MR still had the license for Trek props. Did they just lose it?

Yup. Done and done. My sources are reliable. The question is who is going to take over the reigns.

I say...the RPF should all chip in and buy MR.
Besides...what's the bid deal with licensed props? We get better products here anyway...
RPF 4 LIFE!

Efx collectibles acquired the right to the Muppets after Master Replicas was sold- still waiting for Muppet replicas...
