From Production blog at www.symbiotestudios.comIt’s been months in development, but we are now officially able to announce our new line of figures called Symbiotes. Symbiotes are cool new figures that all use the same head, body and arms. Designed by legendary artist Curt Rapala, each figure is a licensed character that is created in a stylized way.
Our characters are made out of PVC and vinyl and come with four interchangeable hands. Each character can position it’s hands in ways that competing products cannot, but our characters accessories can be held by our competitors products.
The standard sized Symbiotes are 6 inches in size and are in scale with other competing brands. We also will be offering smaller sized figures based on character needs. You can see great use of this in our size chart showing Sam, Max and a Rat.
Wave one will include Sam, Max, Black, White, Dr. Tran, Pirate and Ninja Symbiotes. We will have more information to come on this incredible line. Pre-orders will start on Monday September 29th with a $5 off combo being available for those who pre-order the Sam and Max statue at the same time.

You have interested me... Give me images of the Pirate and Ninja, and a price point that doesn't make my eyes explode and you may have a customer.

Wow.. that has possibilities... now all you have to do is: 1. Go after some licenses that Hasbro does not have 2. Offer blanks in more than just black and white
Your accessory packs are also a wonderful idea... (and sneaky!!) The interchangeable parts is another big plus as well (which perhaps the Hasbro designers might steal... ah.. independently discover over time..lol!)
Best of luck in all of your endeavors. What helps one aspect of this market, might raise interest for all!!
Best of luck in ALL of your endeavors

Thanks for the kind words. Here are some quick answers.
1. We already have 20 anime, hero, and cartoon licenses that we have not announced. 2. We will add more blank colors with each wave. 3. Price point is $9.99 for regular size blanks and in-house ones like Pirates, Ninjas etc. 4. Price point is $12.99 to $19.99 for licensed items. Most will be around $12.99 with Sam and Max two pack being $19.99. If you guys ever have comments or suggestions let us know and we will keep making them better.

I'm gonna have to see some production masters before I make a definite decision, but Sam and Max alone are enough to persuade 20 bucks out of my wallet

I am happy to announce that the Lounge will soon be having a baby brother... (The delivery is due any time). The sibling is called The Symbiotes Sanctuary... and will be everything the Lounge is (but a bit more warped). You can't blame Jose for this one, guys. It's all my creation... LOL We're still painting the place but you're welcome to drop by before the grand opening (but watch your head due to the construction). Drop by to find get in on the Symbiotes on the proverbial ground floor... or maybe to just watch me make a total Robin Williams of myself.. either way... the door's open! We're also very grateful to have an open channel to the good folks a Symbiote Studios. With luck, we'll be twisting their arms for interviews, behind the scenes stuff and more.... ;D Now, you can all be Loungers AND Symbians too! See you at the Sanctuary!
