Chicago, IL – July 27, 2018 – Watchful I Studio, LLC and Ainsty Castings officially announce today a sales, manufacturing and distribution partnership bringing Watchful I Studio products to Europe for the first time. The announcement allows Ainsty Castings to manufacture Watchful I Studio products directly in the UK bringing the same high quality and detailed miniatures to the European customer reducing shipping times, postage costs, and VAT. Additionally, Watchful I Studio’s growing range of products will also be for sale in the Ainsty Castings booth at the many shows they attend throughout the year.
“We are committed to deliver our products to our European customers and make them more accessible at competitive rates,” says Joe Krone, owner of Watchful I Studio.
The partnership will begin with Ainsty Castings launching part of the existing 28mm ancient Chinese miniature range followed shortly by the rest of the ancient Chinese range and the upcoming Terracotta Army. Over the coming months, the existing products will become available giving European customers full access to Watchful I Studio’s product range.
Andy Lyon from Ainsty says “We are really excited to be able to offer the Watchful I Studio ranges to our customers here in the UK and across Europe. These fantastic ranges offer something not currently available over here and I am sure they will be well received.”
About Watchful I Studio – Founded in 2015 they successfully launched their company through their first Kickstarter offering a 28mm metal fantasy and historic ancient Chinese miniatures range. Since then they have continued to expand the Chinese miniature products and continue to showcase themselves as a specialist in Asian themed miniature products. They are currently preparing to launch their next army featuring a 28mm metal Chinese Terracotta Army followed closely by a historic and fantasy Mauryan Indian miniature range. For more information about Watchful I Studio check their website at www.watchfulistudio.com.
Ainsty Castings has been around since 1998 primarily manufacturing resin scenics for the Gaming Hobby. More recently they have moved into producing and selling various ranges of metal miniatures. Ainsty attends around 30 gaming shows in Europe per year and will be offering the Watchful I Studio ranges at shows as well as in their online store.
