----CCGR/x-Men-----

Well, we know, CCGR is more than x-men: It's sports and movie merchandise of collectibles. Recent PR shows, that they are expanding in both areas. However, this is not a complete DD-Info on CCGR, it's just something about their x-men activities. Do you own DD and share it with the board, if you like.

DD-Start for Newbies

...and now:

CCGR & X-MEN

X-Men merchandise deal of CCGR and Marvel:
marvel.com
" ...Collectible ConceptsGroup, Inc. announced today that it has signed a license agreement withMarvel Enterprises, Inc., to create a variety of merchandise andestablish a Collector's Club to sell their products for the up-coming Twentieth Century Fox motion picture, X-MEN ...
... The licensed articles will range from novelty items such as X-Men Graduation Rings; Dog Tags; Pins and Belt Buckles, to collectibles such as Resin replicas of the featured motorcycle; Blackbird Jet; Cyclops' Visor; Magneto's Helmet; Professor X's Mutant Locator (Cerebro) and Wolverine's Adamantium Claws and Skeleton."

CCGR PR on X-Men
collectibleconcepts.com
"CCGR has made incredible strides in securing licensing agreements with New Line Cinema and Marvel. The company should garner significant revenues in the near term and open the door wide with its ability to sign similar agreements in the future. The company has collectibles in over 4000 locations and also sells them through their clubs online. The Company expects a huge volume of business from the X-MEN licensing agreement."

Example of what the press says about x-men merchandise:
UK Heat Magazine (http://www.heatmagazine.co.uk/)
"It's the movie every comic geek has been waiting for and it's set to be one of the biggest blockbusters'...from a screenplay that includes input from Buffy creator Joss Whedon...in August [the UK release] we'll find out if it's another Batman...or another Judge Dredd. Either way, expect a toyshop frenzy when the merchandise hits the shelves."
