The Singapore-based award-winning global design studio, XM (XM Studios), celebrated its 10th anniversary by opening its first-ever flagship concept store to the public from 23 March onwards.
This is great news for any fans of luxury collectibles and figurines as XM is known for its highly detailed designs that are faithful to their respective franchises. XM has made statues based on IPs from Marvel, DC, Disney, Godzilla, Ultraman, Sanrio, Hasbro, and many more. Now, those designs are all housed inside the 19,000 square feet store.
The store showcases over 300 statues of iconic characters including Iron Man, Captain America, X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman Samurai, Star Wars, Transformers, Alien, Predator, and many more for visitors to take photos with and ogle at. It is essentially a paradise for geeks. There is also an in-house Gelato Coffee Bar, 99, which serves artisanal gelato and specialty coffee so one can enjoy a pick-me-up or a snack while browsing the collections on display.
“As a design studio, XM is extremely proud to be pushing the boundaries of collectible experiences with this first-of-its-kind store where fiction and reality are bridged in a single space. Here, our biggest gallery of statue collectibles and our ever-passionate team look forward to welcome our community and fans from around the world to experience XM right here in Singapore.”
Ben Ang, CEO and Co-Founder of XM
This is a place where the pictures speak for themselves, and is a must-visit for any geek who appreciates sheer attention to detail and premium statues and figurines.
The XM store is located on the third floor of Kitchener Complex (809 French Rd, Singapore 200809), and its opening hours are 11am to 8pm during the weekdays, and 10am to 8pm during the weekends.
