In a press release PUG Worldwide Editor-in-Chief John Barber said about the new venture with Marvel:
!PUG Worldwide is committed to making the coolest stuff in the universe for the greatest fans anywhere, and nobody has cooler toys in their toybox than our friends at Marvel.”
Starting this June, the first product will be a line of collectors-edition reprints of groundbreaking comic issues from the Marvel archives presented in PUG Worldwide”s spectacular PAN DIMENSIONAL 3D.

The book will be available in all its 3D glory in comic shops starting in June 2024.
Barber said about the New Mutants project:
Rob’s art practically jumps off the page already, But in 3D, it”s a whole new experience. Even if you”ve read Deadpool’s debut a hundred times, this edition will make the experience feel as new and exciting as it did the day the comic came out.
The next PAN-DIMENSIONAL 3D EDITIONs will be DEADPOOL (1997) #1 by the legendary team of Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness reprinting Wade Wilson”s first ongoing series, followed by X-MEN #1 by Jim Lee and Chris Claremont, reprinting the best-selling comic of all time in 3D for the first time ever—with the epoch-defining gatefold cover (plus the original second giant fold-out Jim Lee image on the other side of the cover too!).
