ADVERTISER TESTIMONIALS
John Tucky, X-O Facto:
"Advertising in AFM is a no brainer. If you're a retailer or producer of garage kits it is the only magazine worth advertising in. It boils down to getting the most bang for your advertising buck and the way to do that is to have your ads seen by as many people in the hobby as possible. AFM goes out to more readers than any other garage kit magazine, that's a fact! Since starting X-O Facto ten years ago, I've run an ad in every issue of AFM to date. If it weren't for the AFM advertising, XO would not have grown to be what it is today. Other magazines may offer cheaper ad space but why waste the money on an ad that's only going to be seen by a few people? If you advertise consistently in AFM it will pay off for you."
Mike Petryszak, Critical Mass:
"I have advertised for 7 years with AFM and only missed two issues. To my surprise, I have gotten orders from every major continent and I have never had an Ad that didn't pay for itself, which is surprising, since I only offer my own kits. While I have tried other magazines, I find that AFM gives me the best exposure for the money. AFM has been a great experience for me."
Terry Fitton, Monsters in Motion:
"Amazing Figure Magazine has been the heart and soul of the figure kit industry for over 10 years and is one of the only advertising resource that can give us a 100% return and put us in front of serious hobbyist that wants our product. Thank you for being here for us!"
Michael Allen, Forbidden Zone:
"My ads in AFM are essential to the success of my kit line. I can rest assured that my kits are being seen by all the serious builders and collectors out there. Not only that, but my line is displayed in the best possible light, wrapped in the best presentation possible! Thanks AFM!"
