What scales are we talking about?

[candyrocket786]

BATMAN BEYOND.

Nothing in mixed media, 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 has never been done.

[SuperJ300]

Definitely comics!

1/4 scale is out? How about 1/5 scale???

[vorpoll]

Comics

[jpuli28]

Frank Miller (TDKR comic) !!!
Jim Lee (HUSH comic) !!!
Greg Capullo (New 52 comic)

[kevin2323]

BATMAN BEYOND. comic Batman

[jpuli28]

IMHO, I think everyone should be specific about the version they desire, i.e. Jim Lee/Hush - comic, BvS/Armored- movie, Capullo/New 52 - comic, etc...

[Kira]

What scales are we talking about?

Scale will be 1/5, 1/3 and 1/2

[strife87]

Arkham origins Batman is currently my favorite one.


Batman beyond looks good also.

[SolidLiquidFox]

Comics based:

Alex Ross' Kingdom Come armored Batman, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns armor and Batman Beyond from the cartoon

Dick Grayson as Batman while he was training Damian Wayne would be good too

[A R E S]

If Prime 1 makes a movie version, i would concentrate on the new movie Batman v Superman, since this is imho by far the best movie suit until now and would be awesome with the movie coming out next year, especially if Prime 1 make Superman and Wonder Woman too.

Regarding comic versions my favorites are the Jim Lee (Hush) and Greg Capullo (New 52) versions.

[Buzzie]

Scale will be 1/5, 1/3 and 1/2

Holy Batman-Army... that opens new worlds... :vortex:

Favourites:

1/5 Scalers dynamic Poses...
Fully sculpted Movie/Series Versions of Batman with team & villains! Bring on all the pack...

[Viper245]

This is good news Kira but your Arkham Knight Batman is the only Batman I need in my collection. That piece is Batman perfection.

[jpuli28]

Kira, can we assume SSC will distribute this project(s) as well?

[nexus]

1:5, 1:3 and 1:2 -- three scales I don't collect. Have to draw the line somewhere, so it's 1:6 and 1:4 only. I guess Sideshow has 1:4 locked up in NA and Europe for the most part. A few other companies have been announcing licenses covering various scales lately. DC is doling these out much more aggressively and internationally these days. A few years ago it was just DCDirect, which I had zero interest in. I'm sure they are looking at this both as a moneymaker and a way to cross promote their movies, games and comics.

Love those suggestions

[Shernell]

Hahaha okay! Kira no offence to you and the 1/3 scale is neat but keep in mind we collectors cannot keep dishing out 899 and 2000 dollar prices for statues. Is it because sideshow has 1/4 on lockdown? 1/5 will do tho but prefer 1/4 scale.

Statues in price ranges of 5 to 600$ are better to afford than these 2k transformers and 899 1/3 statues. Your company makes awesome statues but i think you will reach more collectors in the 1/4/1/6 line.

Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciated.:wink2:
We know that 1/4 scale is popular whatever we love 1/3 scale the most. We believe this line will bring whole new level in collectibles better details and presence. As for 1/5 scale be prepare something big diorama is coming with more dynamic pose.

[Morgul Steve]

I would like to see a movie batman, preferable the Dark Knight Rises in 1/2 or 1/3.

We would like to know from all of you which version of Batman is your favorite one ??

Since I take it 1:2 Bale Batman and Hathaway Catwoman are already coming...

First of all, 1:2 Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman. That would be a dream come true for me. Especially if you ask Trevor Grove to do at least the head sculpt. I already have his fabulous Tweeterhead 1:6 piece coming, but 1:2 would be like :drooling::drooling::drooling:.

Also, a proper Michael Keaton Batman —i.e., one who's not turning his head, unlike Sideshow's Premium Format. :p

A big classic Neal Adams comic Batman.

A big David Mazzucchelli 'Year One' comic Batman.

A Darwyn Cooke/Adam Hughes Audrey Hepburn-inspired comic Catwoman.

Bruce Timm's animated series Harley Quinn / Catwoman

Classic Silver Age comic Catwoman.

I'm essentially in for anything Catwoman, and may also cave in for the other Sirens and Batman himself. Perhaps even Joker. And Batgirl. And... ^_^

Yes, that is the next big thing is diorama statues!

It's been quiet for a while, so one needs to get in there before another company starts doing them.

[yipkusing]

I would love to see more marvel licensing. Spider-Man vs venom will be an excellent choice of diorama.

[testsubject25]

Keep the 1/3 scale coming! :D

new 52- Capullo

[sash501]

A Classic Modern (blue and grey) is always an easy sell.

Something different . . . I like Sean Murphy's work . . . would be cool to pull from his style.

[jon.reynolds]

Frank Miller (TDKR comic) !!!
Jim Lee (HUSH comic) !!!
Greg Capullo (New 52 comic)

This guy knows what he's talking about. I will happily buy a 1/3 HUSH and Capullo Batman.

[Valkyrie]

Frank Miller (TDKR comic) !!!
Jim Lee (HUSH comic) !!!
Greg Capullo (New 52 comic)

Yup. Pretty much all of this! :thumbs2:

Would love to see Prime 1's take on Frank Miller's style from The Dark Knight Returns especially. Batman (of course), Carrie Kelly's Robin, Joker, and perhaps the mutant leader. Unfortunately, Supes might not make the cut if it's a Batman only license.

As a side note, from the game and film universe: I'd like to see a 1/3 Arkham City Harley Quinn and 1/3 Heath Ledger Joker if 1/4 is not possible.

[chrisdeeds]

Kira,

I have Batman on PO, and will be ordering Arkham Knight and the 1/2 Joker on day one of PO.

I would love to see a 1/2 Scale Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises Batman, Bane, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Ras, Gordon ect.

I would love to see a Keaton Batman, along with the Joker, Catwoman, Penguin from the 89 and 92 movies!!

I would also love to see some different versions of the comics...Killing Joke Joker, New 52 Batman and Joker...Versions from the Long Halloween would be interesting to me.

I'm expecting to collect most of the Arkham Knight line, including Harley, Catwoman, Scarecrow.... but I would not be interested in the Arkham origins.

Kira you and Prime 1 have made me a huge fan of your company and I will buy just about anything Batman that you put out...so excited to see what you have in store for us!!

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I just want a Pfeiffer Catwoman, Batgirls, Huntress, Vicki Vale and so on. Not enough love for the ladies.

[MrYac]

. Not enough love for the ladies.

you're kidding right? 2 out of every 3 pieces in any given Batman line are Harley, Ivy or Catwoman. repeatedly, into infinity. sure it may not be the most diverse selection of characters but the females always dominate any Bat-release

[CallMeTheDoctor]

That is true, but I don't refer to those. The constant creation of only those three are tiresome.


And along with Batman, we equally get a Joker. So one could debate that their is a 25% chance of any of those 4.


Batgirl was a great surprise from p1 and SSC, wish we can keep going that route. Batwoman, Black Bat, Spoiler, Batgirl Steph, Batgirl Cass, Robin Steph, Robin Carrie, Huntress, Talia, Barbara, Oracle, debatably; Canary, livewire, Killer Frost, Ravager, and Zatanna.


Then even live action could be considered.

[JohnMatrix]

Scale will be 1/5, 1/3 and 1/2

Can we please see a 1/3 comic Joker?

[Lionore]

In order to put forward the best suggestion to picking the next Batman statue, i'll take you a trip down to the memory lane, i believe this will help you to narrow down the choices you have for the next statue in the line :

The original rendition of the suit, from issue #1-163 featured the classic Black cape/cowl, the black Batsymbol and a dark-grey suit. The cape and cowl was blue tinged but the black tone was the dominant color. This is the iconic depiction of the hero that most fans love. Distinguished artists in that era including Bob Cane , Sheldon Moldoff, Curt Swan shaped the look of the character defining Batman in the comic medium.

Batman's appearance changed a bit in the issue #164(year 1964). The solid Black Batsymbol was replaced by the Yellow emblem on his chest, the cape and cowl was blue highlighted, the black toned down and the utility belt was more yellow tinged. This change lasted for many decades and almost 400 issues!!

In early 2000 and issue #575 Batman returned to the Black attire, lasting until now.Of course there have been some variations, but pretty much this sums up the visual history of the character. Throughout the decades Batman's outline became bulkier, the beefed up look reflected the grim and gritty atmosphere of the hero's universe which, especially after the Silver and Bronze age of comics, was highly accentuated, establishing the savageness of the character.

1) SSC's recent Black version 1/4 statue is paying homage to the hero's origin back in the 30s as well as his recent representation. Viewing this imposing statue reminds me of 2 different eras in the Batman comic, this combination of the old and new is captured in the most dynamic pose.

2) SSC's Blue variant statue honors a period lasting almost 400 issues and many decades. Many fans forget that Batman was mainly drawn in this particular Blue bat-suit making it the classic and the most representative visual appearance of the character. The prominent element of this Batman look is the Yellow bat-symbol and the dark blue bat suit.Carmine Infantino,Neal Adams, Jim Aparo, Dick Giordano draw Batman in this classic outfit.

Whether somebody is a newcomer or an old time passionate fan of the Batman comics, would come down to the main 2 choices mentioned above if he has to pick on a Batman statue. Black or Blue??.

The safest route to deciding what Batman statue, P1 should opt for is to search for the most iconic depictions in the comics by the most notable artists drawing the character.
Since the Black and Blue version has already been produced by another company,unless you want to saturate the
market with identical products you have to be very wise on the ideal selection.

I've been reading Batman comics for many years and have a great knowledge of the hero's history, what i would desperately need to see for the first time in a massive 1/3 or 1/4 scale statue is a Batman in the Black/Blue mixed color costume and the Black Batsymol. You can't tell if Batman is mostly Black or Blue. it seems to me like the color palette is 50% blue and 50% black. And i love this . The shadowy effect of the black and the radiant blue are combined together smoothly, emanating a unique aesthetic appeal. I am referring to masterpieces such as

-Long Halloween, Dark Victory art by Tim Sale
- Hush, art by Jim Lee
-Pre and post R.I.P saga, art by Andy Kubert, Tony Daniel

A Batman statue falling into this lines is something that hasn't been done and a great artistic approach.
I am adding some pictures to see for reference:

My all time favorite batman rendition is from Norm Breyfogle.
Dear Kira! If you reading this please consider making one of the Breyfogle version, that never happened before.

Thank you!

Neal Adams Batman is the definitive Bats IMO. A 1/3 scale Adams Batman would be amazing.

Yeah i am all in for the classic Blue outfit/Yellow emblem but this has been done recently by SSC. I believe that making the same statue wouldn't be a smart move, market wise.

A major reason the AK Bats was applauded by worldwide fans, is the originality and uniqueness of this Batman version.

Well. the new head sculpting is the closer to Adams drawings we have right now. And being fair i think it is spot on.
I think P1 should come forward with something totally new for its Comic Batman, thus will attract more fans

The statue's portrait is a clear reference to the Neal Adams-Jim Aparo-Norm Breyfogle era. These three artists have a characteristic,similar approach to the Batman drawings,it's outstanding!!

For me this is the definitive Batman statue from that era, that's why i pre-order it in day 1. Now, P1 should do something different and fresh to attract the fans interest. Personally i wouldn't buy something twice, just because it's from a different company and a small scale difference

[snappahead]

Don't see it, but that's cool that you like it. It's a good sculpt. The page says the "Batman on the 80's and 90's", so that wouldn't be Adams, but you could be right about Breyfogle and maybe Bolland as well. It's a cool head and I wish I could trade my original PF for this one.

[kevin2323]

Scale will be 1/5, 1/3 and 1/2

please do a design similar to one of the concepts sideshow had. they wont do it but i know you guys would.

L you are certainly a true Batman fan and you proved your commitment to the character a thousand times over on the forum.But now I have to disagree.
I don't personally think that the Batman blue/grey pf does any justice to the character and that is why I didn't purchase any SS versions. Might have slight OCD when it comes to this particular character but I want my Batman to be perfect. The SS version wasn't.
Anyway I guess what I was trying to say here is that the modern age Batman is the one I grew up with. I'm sure many others. Breyfogle, Adams, Bolland are the ones for me. I don't think it has been done as many times as the black/grey costume. The AK Batman is awesome looking, but it's not my Batman, that's like iron man cross Batman. If P1 does an classic modern age Batman that is going to be the one for me to purchase!

The suit was done, but I wouldn't consider that an Adams Batman.

Me neither. It is too generic. Besides I'm not a huge fan of the SS portraits of the character. We still must have a definite modern age Batman.

[madmanny]

a 1/3 scale Batman and joker would be fantastic. Kelley Jones would be an artist i would love to represented. Cant go wrong with a classic Bolland style joker in 1/3 scale. I would even kill for a Bruce Timm series

[SuperJ300]

Yessssssssssssssssss!!!

1/5 scales will be comic base on huge popular version.
Fan will loved it. :)

Which is the very reason I didn't buy the SSC 'Modern Age' PF - I already had the first one. Shame on SSC for rehashing a sculpt instead of giving us fans a new sculpt so that our shelves wouldn't look like a store. If that isn't buying something twice, I don't know what is. :p

So, yeah, it's not because it would be "from a different company and with a small scale difference" - having a classic Adams statue would actually be "something different and fresh" to this fan. ^_^

I wonder what this diorama could be???

Hi Kira,
after TDK Joker
My savings are for the Bale-Batman and Bane-Hardy

Batman will be drawn from last chapter TDK Rising ?
costume has some things different from TDK

you can also see the face without a mask ?

I hope also in vehicles ( Tumbler / Bat - Pod ) seen in the trilogy of Nolan

I will assess again next Batman in Batman v Superman

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Dark Knight Returns Batman is my favorite look for him and the Joker. My favorite Batman story is Long Halloween though.

A piece like the one Kotobukiya did with Batman and the Joker (Dark Knight Returns) would be amazing.

[Lionore]

Anyway I guess what I was trying to say here is that the modern age Batman is the one I grew up with. I'm sure many others. Breyfogle, Adams, Bolland are the ones for me... If P1 does an classic modern age Batman that is going to be the one for me to purchase!



I am fond of that costume too, and actually it hasn't been done so many times, SSC and PCS are the only ones right now. But PCS '70S Style Batman is 1/7 scale and Wall statue.It's face resembles to the SSC portrait. However, The overall aesthetic appeal tilts towards the SSC version. Ok,it always comes down to each one's personal tastes, but honestly i think the Blue statue(SSC) is a good and faithful adaptation to the Bronge-Silver age of Comics.



Which is the very reason I didn't buy the SSC 'Modern Age' PF - I already had the first one. Shame on SSC for rehashing a sculpt instead of giving us fans a new sculpt so that our shelves wouldn't look like a store. If that isn't buying something twice, I don't know what is. :p



At the time it was announced, the Modern Age statue was the only statue around in 1/4 scale representing the Blue outfit/Yellow Emblem version of the character. I see eye to eye with you that a fresh sculpt would be much better received by the fans. Still, the new portrait as well as the blue color adds another level of quality, differentiating it from the Original version.
PCS has a similar policy for its famous Street fighter line, producing a second Variant statue for almost each character. From a collector's perspective it displays nice to have a masterpiece sculpt in 2 different costumes. But personally, i wouldn't build a whole collection based on this rule, i got the 2 versions of the SSC Batman to exhibit them side by side, but this wraps it up. Had there been, another 70s Batman statue out there from another company, i would had opt for it but there wasn't and there isn't yet.

After the recent P1 announcements, seems to step the pace of business up, i wasn't expecting a surplus of Batman products from just a single company releasing in almost every scale and field. I don't know if its ambitious project comes into fruition,honestly i hope its take blow us away, but i am happy i've managed to secure some major Batman interpretations from other companies. I'll be skeptical to purchase the same figure twice, it has to be something extremely fresh and innovative. The bigger scale doesn't necessarily mean a better adaptation.

For instance, the HT 1/4 Batman released a few years ago is top notch quality and flawless portrayal of TDK Trilogy Bats. The SSC recent tdk Batman, shown at SDCC pales by comparison.



The AK Batman is awesome looking, but it's not my Batman, that's like iron man cross Batman. If P1 does an classic modern age Batman that is going to be the one for me to purchase!


As in the Transformers statues, P1 has the knack of doing robotic look alike designs. AK Batman has a distinct uniform featuring some great traits, despite being different in every aspect, it does remain faithful to the source material. And Rocksteady deserves a huge bravo for achieving to bring forward a brand new Batman design for their game which, on the same time, retains the basic elements of the character. P1 did a phenomenal job, hands down. The statue sold out due to the originality of this Video Game Batman and the fact no other company had tapped into

[Shoo]

Still, the new portrait as well as the blue color adds another level of quality, differentiating it from the Original version.

Not enough for me. It's still the same pose. I don't want to display repeated statues.


PCS has a similar policy for its famous Street fighter line, producing a second Variant statue for almost each character. From a collector's perspective it displays nice to have a masterpiece sculpt in 2 different costumes. But personally, i wouldn't build a whole collection based on this rule

The bigger scale doesn't necessarily mean a better adaptation.

Never said it would be. Size never mattered here. Again, it's just a welcome chance to at last have a different 70's Batman for me. :wink2:

[Lionore]

different [/I]70's Batman for me. :wink2:

Can we take it for granted that P1 will be doing a classic 70s-80s commemorative Batman?? If my memory serves me correctly they mentioned for Comic Batman, alluding to a HUSH version, which works just fine for my tastes, to me it's the Batman that needs to see the light of day, and the only version which hasn't been made in large scale, i mention large because there is the Kiss diorama:

After the recent P1 announcements, seems to step the pace of business up, i wasn't expecting a surplus of Batman products from just a single company releasing in almost every scale and field. I don't know if its ambitious project comes into fruition,honestly i hope its take blow us away, but i am happy i've managed to secure some major Batman interpretations from other companies. I'll be skeptical to purchase the same figure twice, it has to be something extremely fresh and innovative. The bigger scale doesn't necessarily mean a better adaptation.

As in the Transformers statues, P1 has the knack of doing robotic look alike designs. AK Batman has a distinct uniform featuring some great traits, despite being different in every aspect, it does remain faithful to the source material. And Rocksteady deserves a huge bravo for achieving to bring forward a brand new Batman design for their game which, on the same time, retains the basic elements of the character. P1 did a phenomenal job, hands down. The statue sold out due to the originality of this Video Game Batman and the fact no other company had tapped into

Okay L! Many things to react to.
I totally get your point and honestly I'm really happy for that you are happy. I had the Batman PF on order as well! As any true Batman fan and anybody with a presence on this forum knows how long we have been waiting for SSC to get the DC license. How we have been dreaming about what SCC could do with the Batman character waiting for the PF to come out!
But then, after 2 years (after it's initial release announcement) it came out and they let us down. The infamous armpit issue. Needless to say that I canceled the order.
Now, I don't mean to spit into anybody's soup if you have the Baman PF good for you, it's a great statue still. I just found the issues unforgivable with a $400 statue. I was thinking to get the Modern age version from SSC when it was announced, but I decided that I'll wait. Than this SDCC we saw the first pictures emerge, from Jon and some other forum members, and you already can see the issues on the prototype.
Allow me to give you a quick look below. Now this supposed to be the prototype. Firstly we don't know if they managed to fix the armpit issue (if you can recall the prototype had no such problems in the case of the previous pf either) Secondly, the emblem is way too big and completely off center. I finish my rant here, but let me ask just one thing. SSC is off their game big time in the last year or so if the prototype looks like this what can we expect from the production pieces? As I said in one of my earlier posts the SSC lottery is a way too expensive game for me to play.

I cannot tell you how happy I'm for P1 to appear and kick some serious stuff. Their work is beautiful.
Once again L I totally agree with you the Rocksteady design is awesome! I love it! I just couldn't convince myself to get it yet, and now that P1 made this recent announcement about creating a range of comic book versions, there is a 70% chance that I won't get it. I still have an empty shelf for an ultimate Batman statue that fulfills my desire of getting something that does real justice to this amazing character.

Kira, everything you guys put out is awesome! My favorite batman is Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy and I also would love to see Bane from the movie. I am just holding my breath that I can afford them.

[SeekNdestroy]

I'd be happy with most comic versions as long as you keep pumping out batman villains to go along with them. Too many times do companies just make one or two of the main characters. Along with the usual batman and joker I want penguin, two face, freeze, scarecrow, and so on. Although I am partial to certain art styles I'd just be happy to see a line continue.

First SeekNdestroy welcome to the forum! Second, I'm okay with your list. P1 puts out amazing work and I'm a very happy BatFan that a competent company wielding the license.

Thank you for the warm welcomes! I've been a long, long time reader and finally joined! To answer your question, I seek statues and destroy my wallet. That's the best answer I could come up with to your question😀. Whatever it ends up being, I look forward to seeing how this line materializes.

Interesting, however I don't think a mass production would reach the marketed generation. I could see a Capullo Year One potentially in its place.

And fixed :rolleyes:

At least they were honest. None of the other companies have an excuse lol

Ah, the good old days when we had Kira with us, instead of having to rely on a bewildering, hard-to-follow Facebook page

[Swingman24]

The FB page is quite easy to follow. We get answers to questions much quicker on there than when Kira was on here, no offense intended. Also, we just tend to get more detailed info on upcoming licenses and products through Kelvin Loke and John Pham on FB. But that's just my 2 cents. Opinions vary.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the quality of the representatives at all - I love Kelvin and John. It's the platform I dislike - I'm not fond of having to sift through stuff that doesn't interest me in the slightest, and it's hard for me to keep track of any new posts, which forces me to go through essentially the same (usually dispensable) posts over and over.

Call me old-fashioned, but give me the clarity and convenience of a traditional forum any day.
