Holy Smeg.

Batman Noel by Lee Bermejo.

I just showed Lee the pictures and he is going gaga for it.

[Valkyrie]

Very nice. I never read the graphic novel so I'm not that familiar with the suit. I'll have to do something about that...

Really like the different facial expressions.

And Wow! Deathstroke and Bane!

[The Mule]

Awesome. I'm fine with the AK version but, really... awesome.

[supermetroid]

3 Switch out heads? I hope the AK Batman gets another one then lol

[SONICobra]

beautiful, just beautiful... if only they were 1:4 scale :bawling:

[yipkusing]

Same base for deathstroke too?

[Shoo]

[supermetroid]

Kira, a switch out head with those clear white eyes would look amazing for the AK Batman! Pretty please?

[Luminous]

Same base for deathstroke too?

They're different. One is a Reaper and the other an Angel.

Amazing work from Prime 1. Are these 1/3 scale as well.?

[Shoo]

Yes, they are.

[Lionore]

:thumbs2:beautiful, just beautiful... if only they were 1:4 scale :bawling:


Curious if this is a Japan Exclusive also??

[PureInvasion]

An odd choice for P1, but definitely great looking. Loved Batman Noel and love Bermejo's artwork so this is truly amazing

[madmanny]

This line could be awesome. A Jim Lee batman, Kelley Jones Batman and a Frank Miller batman, just wow.

[azurepred]

looks pretty cool. I don't follow any of these, but I like this one more than that video game version. They are both cool though

Batman Noel by Lee Bermejo.

I just showed Lee the pictures and he is going gaga for it.

I'm surprised he didn't know about it.

Now how do we order one of these?

[Agent23]

So this is from the Noel (Christmas story) then? Not from the video games right?

Thought they were gonna be 1:5 scale?

The 1:5 scale line is coming next year and encompasses all of dc and not just batman.

1/5 scale will not only base on Batman only ;) will be reveal during next year.

[Comicbookguy]

This looks great, but must remember was it iron studios making the 1/3 comic style bats as well with tons of switch out parts. So I and some must save some room for that line in case it's a go with many more DC characters coming soon at the same time, we can only display so much of these huge things.

[Shanesg]

There's so many things to choose from lately. The market is getting flooded. How long can this last? Every week there seems to be a new company producing these things.

It's like drugs I can't quit. I don't know what I can do? There's more to buy from iron studios, the 1/3 hulk buster company, SS, GG making more 1/4 marvels on the way so they say, prime 1, XM dishing 100s of po's each few months, pcs, and many more I can't even remember right now. It's going to get ugly soon...market will explode when everyone decides to bail with over collecting and tOo much product out there.

[Shanesg]

Yeah somethings gotta give eventually. Ultimately it's just gonna kill the after market. Why would anyone be interested in old stuff when there's always something brand new right around the corner?

Totally agree, i remember a few years ago, when the Batman 1/4 statue was announced by SSC and was so happy and hyped over this piece, been waiting ages for a great Batman statue and finally once came around. i remember back then it was the only Batman statue in larger scale, for many years no company had produced the Batman. Like many fans, the excitement was over the top seeing that a Batman 1/4 statue was finally in the works. But nowadays, i've lost count with the statues made by various companies, the market is literally inundated by Batman.



I think the Noel Batman is a good choice, the comicbook artwork is great, Bermejo did a splendid job both on Noel and Joker,(makes me wonder if their Joker 1/3 scale wll be based on his Joker comic...) P1 has a knack for sculpting statues resembling identically to the source material

A Bermejo Joker would be great:thumbs2:

[Shoo]

A Prime 1 Bermejo Joker would be amazing, as I don't care for any videogame Jokers so far.

[federico]

OMG, this one is f***ing gorgeous!!!

[The Mule]

Oh crap I've just seen the high res pics, I take back what I said. I'm buying AK Batman AND this Batman, period.
I might be fickle, but the details on the battle damaged head sold me on this. And then the white eyes, the tears in his cape, damn, there are so many subtle details, it's a brain melter.
As an ex combat sports practitioner and follower, that little but deep cut in his lower lip brings back memories.

Damn love this! The base is kickass aswell and together with Deathstroke WoW

[testsubject25]

Well... this has become the ONLY Batman I'll ever need. :laugh:
That's just amazing.

[zadmax]

I love what I can see of that artwork behind the statue. Would love to see an unobstructed view of it.

Does anyone know who painted it, and it it will be made into prints/posters available for purchase?

Would make a terrific backdrop (obviously) for anyone making a purchase of this statue, or even as a stand alone print.

I pre-ordered the P1 Arkham Knight Batman EX, but damn, this one is so tempting...

[Comicbookguy]

Just way too many batmans coming out. I will already have the first on po. Will pass on this one. But looks great. Can't have them all.

You can find this image to buy fairly easily on the bay as a poster if you want, if it's from the images above, it's just some arkham origins artwork.

This version looks amazing!! I didn't read the comics but this is my favorite Prime 1 piece so far. Love it.

[Shoo]

This looks killer, but I wish the shoulder-piece armor thingie would sit more flush on... well... his shoulders.

The shoulder will be flush during production we didn't expect the cape to be such thick ;)

[Shoo]

That's great to hear, Kira, thanks. :)

[EnShinNoi]

Prime 1 is killing it. I can't wait for their 1:5 line. I think that'll be the time I finally cave in and buy a statue of Batman.

[darren1228]

Just look at that tattered cape!! Amazing...drool

[floreairfoot]

My god... they look incredible!

[Matches Malone]

Holey smokes! I absolutely love this piece; another home run for Prime 1. Strongly considering it, if it is a 1:3 piece for the Arkham Origins line. Definite buy if it is a 1:5 piece from their DC/Batman line.

[Shanesg]

It's 1/3 scale.

[Mr. Machismo]

Been sticking to 1/4 XM and just POd their Japanese Batman. This thing is unreal, though...

Anyone know when it'll be available to PO? Best option for Canadian purchase? Direct from PRIME 1 or Sideshow? Cheers.

[Mr. Machismo]

Does anyone have an image of a 1/4 statue next to a 1/3? Trying to figure out size difference.

I don't have a photo to share but it is a fairly significant increase. They are about 50% bigger in all regards to a 1/4 scale piece.

Technically, body mass is "only" 33% bigger than 1:4 :D but yeah P1 is doing some tall and massive bases so overall these are going to take up twice of a regular PF.

Just look at that sad little PF with its saggy armpits... makes me sick... :laugh:

I don't know where you found this picture since the P1 Bats hasn't been released yet, but its very enlightening...wasn't expecting such a huge size difference, the 1/3 might be even bigger to my Batman bust by SSC and the huge 1/1 TDKR Batman bust by HCG:

If you don't have a museum-like house it's going to be hard building up a collection based on the 1/3 P1 DC line statues:eek:

[Shanesg]

The pic came from some store over on Asia somewhere. I think they had one of the proto's for a short while? Something like that.

i see, very revealing..

[The Mule]

Shiokotoys, they seem to always get a proto from Prime1 for display purposes. They also did the high res pics of this Batman Noel

[Mr. Machismo]

Perfect comparison, MM. Thanks so much.

I have no idea where I'm gonna fit this thing, but I gotta have it.

Lol; I will accept that I don't get any credit for my sloppy guesstimate :D

[EnShinNoi]

It's actually over 100% increase. 33% increase over 1:4 would be around 2:7 scale.

[Shanesg]

it can't be more than 100% the size. If it was, that would make it double the size, which would be 1/2 scale. The dude that said it was 33% bigger was right, I'm pretty sure.

It's a 3D object so you have to think in terms of volume.

You're not even thinking 2-dimensional, you're thinking 1-dimensional, i.e. a straight line.

[Shanesg]

Oh ok yeah you're right there. I was only talking about height.

[The Mule]

You're not even thinking 2-dimensional, you're thinking 1-dimensional, i.e. a straight line.

That's why I said "body mass", his body sculpt will be roughly 33% bigger than 1:4 scale (which is, the 1:3 is 133% the 1:4).
I.e., a character that's 45cm tall in 1:4 scale becomes 60cm in 1:3 scale (+33%), if shoulder to shoulder measure is 15cm in 1:4 scale it becomes about 20cm in 1:3 scale (+33%) and so on.
At least, I think so. Other than physics, I also suck at maths. Kinda unconvenient for someone who studied in a scientific-oriented high school lol.

It's easier to think in cubes or ^3.

8 x 1:2 cubes fit into 1:1 cube.
27 x 1:3 cubes.
64 x 1:4 cubes.
125 x 1:5 cubes.
216 x 1:6 cubes.

and so on...

This gives a direct relationship between 1:3 and 1:4 of 27 and 64.

[Lionore]

if it comes down to spending a hell of a lot mof moneys for a statue, it had better be good, and this one Noel, is too good to pass it up, i probably like it even more than the AK Bats. I've signed a pledge to buy only of these masterpieces :confused2 and this looks the one i am very close to


what do you think of its price??

[Shanesg]

Probably $899. Seems like what they're going for with the Batman stuff. Obviously that could vary depending on extra parts.

[jon.reynolds]

Man I wish I could transfer the RP and deposit I paid for AK Batman for this, I would drop that like a bad habit lol.

Looks like I'll end up with both cause I don't think I can pass on this.

The SS Batman is bigger than 1/4 too, they actually don't seem too far off besides the base if they're both standing up imo.

[The Mule]

Imho, at 900$ price point these have an awesome value for the money. I think pricing is spot on considering the size, details and switch outs included. If Prime1 keeps its quality consistent and delivers in a timely manner, that's a package full of win.

[Lionore]

I wouldn't put up the damn pricing issue again, becuase for us EU collectors in order to get a P1 gem means spending double contrary to u guys in US, but anyway...

reading straight from P1 FB page:
Showcased in Prime1 Kotobukiya event. Comic based look with Prime1 details. Comes with 2 heads for the regular and an additional berserker head for the exclusive. Stay tuned.


This might be the one and only Batman 1/3 from P1 i give in and purchase, but the many numbers of Batman alone statues P1 has revealed as well as announced, has me thinking...if i need to wait for an even better Batman represantation. But marketwise, i don't know how man people can/will afford to buy every Batman statue P1 produces. So i guess P1 has to put a stop

[The Mule]

Exclusives are cheaper than Regulars here, anyway. I guesstimated around 1100-1130€ for the AK Batman Ex, as opposed to the Reg that retails at around 1200€ here.
Cheaper, comes with extra piece, lower ES, quicker shipping time and reward points (45$), that's a no brainer. I'm lucky that I brought down the price of the Kinght with RPs, and will do the same with the Noel, so I'm pretty lucky that I never spent them before.

I wonder why Noel Batman is standing next to AO characters and right in front of the AO Wallpaper?? maybe they decided not to make the AO Batman and go for this version instead, besides 2 Batman from the Video Game is an extravagance:flash:

[Mr. Machismo]

Where can I purchase Prime 1 EX if I'm in Canada?

It seems Sideshow is the only option, which will be absurdly expensive in terms of FedEx brokerage.

Because technically that's an AO Batman, too, only not the default skin.

[yipkusing]

Shouldn't have discussed about the price increase when I anticipate P1 will charge more after realizing they increased prices of transformers busts recently at almost 100% well let's just hope they keep it at constant $900 for their 1/3 else no one could afford.

[Johnny Utah]

This is what Sideshow should have been doing since they got the license. EXACT interpretation.These are too big and expensive for me but they are incredible.

[Max Shreck]

Gorgeous. :jawd: Just a beautiful piece of Batman art.

[madmanny]

Same here. Apart from the AK Batman, love the graphic novel, fantastic art, amazing writing, this Batman is essential. I'm blown away by the pictures.

[Lionore]

I am mostly impressed by this statue, p1 caught me by surprise, i was expecting a -fan favorite- Jim Lee, Hush-Batman for a reveal. But in all aspects this one stands out and might be the definite Batman statue,the AK, is great but has the robotic feeling allover the costume that puts me off.

Bermejo has done an outstanding job in his Batman titles, i loved the Noel, Joker, Batman Black and White vol.2 as well as Batman/Deathblow. His distinctive drawing style works perfect for Batman and the gritty stories, i'd surely love him to assume the mantle after cappulo finishes his ''Batman'' run.


The dynamic style and museum quality of this 1/3 statue it's going to be to hard to pass it up...


Now i wait for the pre-order date and price, any guess? for the pre-order?? late 15 or early 16???I mean P1 has a great deal of prototypes shown and promised waiting in the line...

[Comicbookguy]

[Max Shreck]

If I may say the latter it gets released is the better for me personally. I have too much on my plate at the moment.
I thought the same that they gonna release something Jim Lee, or Capullo this release is a sweet surprise.
Here I'm hoping we gonna see something classic as well like Breyfogle maybe? :)

[Comicbookguy]

Jim lee would be so bought. Wished they will tell us what is coming all at once for these batman variations so that I can choose only one I need for bats. Hate to PO and find a better on a few months later y the same company.

Yeah there's a lot of Jim Lee "stuff", but not many(if any at all) high end statues based on his work.

Tired of Lee. Give us Capullo, Sale, Jae Lee, Miller, Pope, etc.

Bermejo was a great choice. Perfectly adapted to statue format...

This HD video is very revealing and makes pretty clear that P1 has certainly upped the ante in the statue hobby field.... also i need to point out that their second Batman statue, Noel shows many improvements in all aspects contrary to the Arkham Knight. The pose and presence is so dynamic, emanating the dark and gritty feeling, Batman ought to has. I am blown away by Batman, the AK is very good undoubtedly, but lacks charisma, the pose is dull and the sideways angle of the statue takes away from its beauty.

I think P1 is improving itself from project to project, they are becoming better in designing and each new piece has better aestetic quality to the previous. I am very optimistic about the future, let's see what it has in store for us...

I really like the pose for Arkham Knight Batman. It showcases the highly detailed suit perfectly while being sleek and efficient; like the character in game. Suits the subject matter well and is, ironically, a different pose for a Batman statue.

Noel is superb as well but it doesn't make AKBats any less appealing.

Totally agreed. I love the tired museum quality pose of the AK Batman. Cannot wait to have it!

[yipkusing]

AK bats will be a clear winner if there's another head preferably showing a cranky face showing teeth

[Luminous]

That would look very odd to me. AK Batman is just standing there in a museum pose with his hands down... and then he has an angry expression showing his teeth? I imagine he would just look like he's clenching and holding one in.

[Comicbookguy]

I like the AK bats better too even though I don't like the pose. I think it's just this style of the Noel bats that's not as good as the first imo. I liked the suit on the first one better. Gkad I converted on that one.

[Shanesg]

One things for sure. Both of em are super dope and both are awesome choices. Prime1 is killing it.

Well said sir!

Like them both, I'll be sticking with ak batman, I prefer the suit on that model.

[supermetroid]

I'd love a switch out head with those clear white eyes for AK Batman.

Lets save that for the Arkham City statue!

Lets save that for the Arkham City statue!

I think Kira has said that they wouldn't be doing any AC products.


The best extra portrait would be the Bruce Wayne head, this needs to be happen, this would be great:

Since all the rest has them we must for AK bats please? :)

What if, again, P1 is kind enough to give one.

[Silverine]

Damn I love this 1 :O
So hard not to order check that base alone!

[RadAsGhoul]

This is by far the best Bats statue evah!

[Mr. Machismo]

When do they typically announce sales details? (Sideshow, etc.) ?

[Valkyrie]

This one looks amazing but I'm probably going to pass. I'm going to have to be selective with these so going to try and stick to the Knight line with a couple exceptions (AO Deathstroke and maybe AO Bane). Does seem you're getting more for your $900 with this one over AK Bats though. :(

[Shanesg]

Wow, that's beautiful. I would love to get all of this line, but Deathstroke is the only one I "need". He will be mine.

[SuperJ300]

Looks awesome!

[DSET]

does sideshow get these late or are they roughly the same time of release?

is the AK in peoples hands already?
or is that 2016?

[Comicbookguy]

Looks great but pass can't have so many batmans when there's so much more coming out. I already have a bat from prime 1 on PO and the steel face camo batman too. Then I want maybe the IA 1/3 comic batman and maybe the iron studios jim lee 1/3 batman. So must cut some out. Then all the harley, BG, CW, and deathstroke from prime 1. Lol don't forget the prime 1 TV series and the many more like bane etc coming soon, and the other companies too.

[Matches Malone]

OMG! This statue is mind-blowingly good

[Valkyrie]

You're not making this easy for me, Shoo. :drooling:

[madmanny]

This is a must have piece. I really hope these prime one pieces do the business in person

[decoyoctopus10]

Wow. Seriously my favorite Batman statue to date. and the change out hand is a surprise! Any idea of when it'll be up for PO? Day one for me.

[Shoo]

You're not making this easy for me, Shoo. :drooling:

Just sharing my pain. :p

[Lionore]

p1 Nailed it, beautiful piece indeed, i'd buy it right away,but have to be selective there are so many Batman coming out by P1 that have to be patient.

Any PO date yet??

[Comicbookguy]

Dang I LOVE this piece, but this is where I am on it as well. I need to hold strong for an upcoming piece as this INCREDIBLE SCULPT is alas not of one my favorite costumes.

Yeah agreed I have the first already which is my favorite bat costume. Next will be iron studios jim lee for me. I can pass on this guy since it's also not my favorite costume either. He does look awesome for fans for this costume. Love the COH best!

[Nextlevel99]

Yeah agreed I have the first already which is my favorite bat costume. Next will be iron studios jim lee for me. I can pass on this guy since it's also not my favorite costume either. He does look awesome for fans for this costume. Love the COH best!

Hey I think you should check your source first Iron studios one is designed by Ivan Reis not Jim Lee if you expect Jim Lee version Prime1 is doing it.

[Matches Malone]

Nextlevel is right, CBG, though that suit emwas designed by David Finch IIRC

[strife87]

Wow, I hope the origins suit comes out looking this good! This looks fantastic all around. Even all three portraits look great and would be very unpalatable, cool they could get a good range of expression and edition out of one pose like this. Great job prime one!

[darren1228]

I like the exhibition photos over the official pics for some reason. Still thinking about this over fears of starting a 1/3 scale collection.

[darren1228]

HAHA! Multiple batman's, many more to come like jim lee bats, tv and movie related characters soon to come, cat woman, Harley, batgirl, bane, death stroke, IA, Iron studions, pcs horror, all 1/3 lol..... goodluck on 3 limit.

Hey I think you should check your source first Iron studios one is designed by Ivan Reis not Jim Lee if you expect Jim Lee version Prime1 is doing it.

Nextlevel is right, CBG, though that suit emwas designed by David Finch IIRC

yes I can see the finch art now, he's still one of my image art styles I like a lot. Still so awesome, but a jim lee bats by prime 1 would be bought for sure. Now I must find a way to not buy so many 1/3's. :doh!: No space for all these.

[snappahead]

I haven't checked the thread, but it's interesting that th eyes are opaque when the Noel Batman didn't have that.

[Mr. Machismo]

I haven't checked the thread, but it's interesting that th eyes are opaque when the Noel Batman didn't have that.

But it looks so cooool.

[JAWS]

this looks incredible... I may get this. If I am going to own a 1/3 scale piece it might as well be batman :)

[VS1976]

Must resist.

[SuperJ300]

Up for order!

https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/dc-comics-batman-noel-version-prime-1-studio-9025831/

Sadly I have no room.

[candyrocket786]

Must resist.

I cant. Prime 1 has me by the balls.

Ordered!

[Valkyrie]

Grats to all that are getting him. I'm holding out for the next "Knight" piece or AO Deathstroke.

[Ranz]

Ordered the exclusive :-)

[madmanny]

Just incredible.

[FROBAY]

Ordered. Amazing!!

[gomur]

This looks phenomenal. Congrats to those who dive in.

Too rich for my blood. That and space.

Really it's more the space for me. ;)

[Mr. Machismo]

Thanks so much for posting guys! Ordered right away and am stoked!

How did you guys know it went up?

Also, does Prime 1s production pieces look like their prototypes (like XM)?

[Empracollector]

Ordered

[Ranz]

I saw it last night on a British site for $2000 AUD I was tempted so I knew it was coming... but saw on here before it was on sideshow saved about a $1000 AUD doing it that way

[C-Lo*G86]

Like another said, I'll sort this out later. The pose and expression on this piece is just something we have not seen before and I like that.

[Comicbookguy]

Must resist.

Just buy 2 or go for the emma gold club and get three :D buy now think later. I pass for the prime 1 jim kee bats, death stroke, first bats, harley, CW, BG, TV supergirl maybe ... Wow too many already :(

[yipkusing]

at this rate. you can't keep up. for me girls only.

[built2shred]

Thanks so much for posting guys! Ordered right away and am stoked!

How did you guys know it went up?

Also, does Prime 1s production pieces look like their prototypes (like XM)?

Based on their Transformers & Turtle statues I would say Yes.

[3Cube]

I was about to press the preorder confirm button until I realized Red Sonja is up next week. Have to see the price on that one first before I can decide.

So many great pieces coming up for preorder.

[VS1976]

I'm passing.. Don't need another 1:3 scale batman.

[rome_325]

Congrats to those who ordered! As much as I would like to get this, I already have the 1st bats on PO. With all the P1 sneak peaks for this line, this is low on my priority list....

[MeetThyReaper]

Man....this is freaking sweet. Anybody have photos for scale? It's such a pricy piece, but it really makes me want to commit.

[strife87]

[ambasah]

he is awesome, but I prefer the first one.

[bangooface]

Oooooo. I love this one!!!! It kinda reminds me of the miller batman and I've always wanted miller. Almost pulling trigger on this one....

[Shoo]

Oooooo. I love this one!!!! It kinda reminds me of the miller batman and I've always wanted miller. Almost pulling trigger on this one....

Then simply hold out for the Prime 1 Miller version, which is confirmed to be coming later on.

[JAWS]

Then simply hold out for the Prime 1 Miller version, which is confirmed to be coming later on.

Would have considered waiting for Miller but this piece is Perfect in sculpt and pose...


ORDERED!!!!!!

[gogo13]

I'm still on the fence on this one. I was going to get this. Now I know Miller, Lee and several other new Prime1 statues are in the future. Prime1 is turning it on.. I can't collect everything they make.. Most I hope.

Lots of great statues Prime1 has in store in the near future. Noel looks at me and says to me add me to your collection.. Lol

[supermetroid]

he is awesome, but I prefer the first one.

Same here. He looks incredible but I just need one batman plus most of the villains. Seems like there's going to be 10+ Batman statues in this line

[Lionore]

Then simply hold out for the Prime 1 Miller version, which is confirmed to be coming later on.

I think the Miller Batman first pics will coincide with the release of DoJ. Would be great. The Master Race is also coming later this year, so it's definitely a great time to be a Miller fan

[Comicbookguy]

:goodpost: yeah people are just too excited buying up the first couple assuming it will be the best. Wait until later when more advances comes to the later bats and we will have another winner with each release. I still like the first suit better as well over this one imo. But there will be plenty to choose from and with so many bats everyone can pick the one or few for their own flavor of the month

I hope they do Jim Lee also... But like I said they would really have to hit it out of the part to top this one.

I am in the same boat. :laugh: Noel Batman looks so damn sick! I only have one pre-order right now and I think I'm leaning towards cashing out all my points for a Jim Lee Bats and happily retiring from this crazy hobby. I was going to save them for a SS Mags or Dark Phoenix but the sheer quality and craftsmanship coming from Prime One is second to none.

[Agent23]

I decided to pre order the exclusive from SS. I really like the berserker head portrait. This piece is a true grand slam, and the next level for collectibles. Just everything about it raises the bar.

Nice job Prime 1. :buttrock:

[jmsmith3388]

Already have too many pre-order's, but I will be adding that Deathstroke upon release.

I've held of on getting any Batman statue as I'm not getting one unless it is THE Batman statue... I feel like this could be the one in my opinion. But of course it comes out at a time when I don't have the space or money. 1/3 is friggin massive when you're in an apartment!

Flex pay man! This is easily my favorite Batman statue ever. Its so different and well executed, I don't think they'll make one that ever match this one. The ferocity of it is insane.

[yipkusing]

Something this good not sold out?!

[strife87]

I honestly believe people are waiting to see the others since there's at least like three more on the way, plus the two already released. I'll bet with this knowledge combined with the size and price point, collectors want their absolute favorite style batman and are holding off until it happens. With the nice edition sizes it's possible to wait a while without an instant sell out. Just my opinion.

Yes exactly! I want to see what the rest looks like. We will all say the same best one for all of them lol. Reality is can't buy all of them.

[Lionore]

Personally, i think each Batman from P1 will be a unique addition to any collection. I am holding out till the one meeting my exact demands comes out. P1 has me stoked over their upcoming releases.

The question is, had not P1 announced the slew of Batman statues coming out, which one from the ones on pre-order right now would pick...

Noel surpasses AK version. i agree it has a brutal quality and the pose is very dynamic

[strife87]

love the dynamic pose on noel, but prefer the armor on the knight version, so i stuck with him.

[SuperJ300]

Something this good not sold out?!

No room!

[PureInvasion]

Ya they can't keep pumping them out at that price as quick as they are and expect them to fly off the shelves. As great as they look, who has $900USD to throw out every few months on top of everything else?

[Valkyrie]

love the dynamic pose on noel, but prefer the armor on the knight version, so i stuck with him.

Same here, Strife. I like Noel mainly for its portraits and pose but I still prefer the armored suit on the AK Bats. Plus, I'm not all that familiar with the Noel graphic novel so I decided to sit this one out. If I were to get another P1 Bats, I'd rather wait on a version that's closer to my heart like Lee's Hush or Miller's TDKR for example.

[yipkusing]

IMHO P1 releases too many of the same character and too many edition size.

Same, I don't know much of the Noel. It's nice to see a variety of options and characters, there's a great chance that way for your fave version to be produced, regardless of which it is, and with prime one you will have an outstanding quality piece from what I've seen in the pics.

750 for an EX is too much?

[federico]

maybe for 1/3 scale...

[decoyoctopus10]

Better than Sideshow's "Limited Edition" on all their bigger stuff.

[Silverine]

I never cared much about ES, I mean if you care to much about that just Commission a one of a kind piece.

In a way it sounds very selfish to care about ES, But I get that alot of people have mixed feelings about it.

That's why I went with both... their both amazing in their own right

You said it the best. Spot on. Favorite batman ever. Raising the bar.

[strife87]

:) you are not wrong, they are both stand outs. Is Noel batman one of your fave renditions of the character?

[King Grimlock]

Absolutely. I prefer a darker, more sinister looking bats. I think don't there's ever been one done before. The way the sculpt and suit came out matches the Noel storyline perfectly. The pose, multiple head sculpts (berserker especially)and the white pupils seal it for me.

[dwade23]

Except that it looks like he's trying very hard to take a massive dump. No thanks :)

[equi-nox76]

Compared to the Iron Studio Batman the Noel is gold.
Don't like the IS-Bats at all.

That woman on a toilet picture you deleted, captured the essence of what I thought the statue was depicting, especially given the arms and facial expression were identical to the statue.

Did you actually look at the picture? It was the same upper body pose of the statue. In fact, almost identical! The point of the picture is not the chick, nor the toilet, but how the pose of the Noel statue resembles someone wanting to desperately excrete nitrogenous and associated wastes!

It wasn't just the face sculpt, it was the entire pose, however you deleted the picture that best summed up my thoughts.

It's my second 1/3 have Sub Zero from PCS also on preorder plus a few lifesize bust's and 1/4 pieces I'll probably order Deathstroke to go with Batman Noel as they look great with matching bases

[strife87]

The Noel batman and deathstroke combo will look fantastic, really like the bases on these.

hilarious..

i think most super heroes look like that in the comics.
so it´s not p1 fault, right?


in all seriousness, i do think it is a wonderful piece
of art. can´t wait to have it.

[Max Shreck]

Still didn't pull the trigger on this. Quite surprisingly actually. I love the work of Bremejo and the Noel graphic novel, it's just I love the suit design and details so much on the AK Batman... and who knows what else might be comin'. Ah. Tough life.

that is the statement, who knows what else is coming. from the looks of it there will be a batman for every taste.

[madmanny]

It is such a nice position to be in to have so much choice

[Max Shreck]

I guess so, but it's a bit stressful too you guys must admit. I mean it's cool if you can get all of them, or some of them you really want. But when you don't just have money under your skin it's tough to make decisions. My missus is kinda listening to me for several days rambling about what would be the right decision. thank God she's awesome and very patient with me. :)
Anyway it's indeed good to be a collector today, but I feel quite overwhelmed at the same time. I don't know about you guys.

It can be a bit stressful. Best bet seems to be try to make informed decisions on what products are coming out, which you have to have and which you can live without and if available I have no problem exercising the flex pay option to space out the pricier items. That's what I've been trying to go by anyway, as I have a limited budget.

[Max Shreck]

Indeed Strife! Wise words. Although the flexpay is tricky business also. I usually try to pay the cash in one because - without sounding like a spoiled child - if I have to wait too long (sometimes including the preorder period) I simply lose momentum. It's hard to keep the same level of excitement throughout a long period of time. None the less I agree and cannot wait what else Prime 1 has up in their sleeves!

[COI]

Since I'v decided to order Deathstroke, I'm looking really hard at this piece. Love the reaper/angel base motif on this and the DS; they're going to look amazing together for anyone who gets both.

:thinking:

[SolidLiquidFox]

It looks great but I would definitely wait for that iconic Batman at 1:3 from Prime 1.

I look at the Noel and it looks good but mostly due to the fact that there is not much out there to compare it to. It didn't hit me in the face like Deathstroke did. That one is a no brainer. Noel is not.

[Comicbookguy]

Not a fan of his suit here. But great sculpt for sure. I have first suit on PO and will mostly get the jim lee version. So pass on this for me. Don't need more than 2 1/3 bats. I'm sure I might buy one more later. Lol

Good points, as usual.

My rationale for this piece is that the Deathstroke is incredible, but it also isn't the classic/iconic Deathstroke that I know from the Teen Titans. Yet, I'm totally down for it. This makes an awesome companion for DS for that same reason; not for being traditional/iconic, but more for how dynamic and detailed it is. The base motif doesn't hurt either.

Decisions, decisions. Who said choice was a good thing? :laugh:

I agree with you 100%, the AK batman is wait for me aswell the ex was not big enough for me so if I should buy that one regular is fine.
this is why I like small ex and enough display options on regular:)

[Ranz]

Noel Batman looks a lot meaner and darker I think.. I like that look especially the exclusive head... Prime 1 has definitely made the coolest Batman statues I've seen

[Bad Horse]

It's not only the meanest and darkest, but the most realistic. Batman would need some type of body armor, but not so much that it would hinder his stealthy movements. The Noel design captures that perfectly.

[Bad Horse]

:thinking:

My wife approved of our getting Deathstroke, but only if we got Batman Noel because the two together complement each other so well. Both are amazing in their own right, but together they are truly greater than the sum of their parts.

Ugh, someone just told me that the Arkham Origins Joker is going to have a Lee Bermejo Joker head! That's another instant PO. :drooling: Just the DC line is going to kill me, how are you going to manage the Witcher as well!?! I've really refocused my collecting -- it's all about quality over quantity these days.

I know :)
Well the witcher should be possible if I buy what I really like, 1/4 dioramas are out of the question. But the 1/3 character like Ciri triss yennefer are no brainers.

And I hope they stick to one per character haha on the witcher. Plus I think/hope the witcher is far in 2016.

As for batman Deathstroke and HQ are 100% buy, catwoman and batgirl not so sure on the day one order

[Lionore]

As i've mentioned before the Noel statue is great looking, featuring a menacing pose as well as dynamic appearance from top to bottom. The only thing bugging is the similarites to the SSC Batman, the legs' position and marching forward stance bears resemblance to the 1/4 Bats piece.

I am eagerly waiting to see how inventfull the rest of the multitude Batman line will be, P1 has releatedly said there are a lot of adaptations of the character in store in the near future.
I have high hopes the definite Batman statue will have a groundbreaking pose, that we've never seen before in any Batman statue, also the costume's color, texture and style will give us an original perspective.
i pray Jim Lee is the one,thankfully, this particular version is so resourcefull and rich, it can give us a breathtaking statue
Bring it on P1:praying:

IMO it looks nothing like SS Batman PF... The SS PF is all twisted and weird pose and has like a giraffe neck, I know because I also own it.... His body is way to bulky and his suit doesn't fit the armpits.... I wish this Prime 1 was 1/4 scale, If it was, I sell off SS Batman PF in a heartbeat...

I feel you man,although i see eye to eye with you there are some issues with this piece, i am not siding with the fans chastising severely the 1/4 SSC Bats statue. It was the first large scale Batman statue to be made and many collectors purchased it right away. I remember i was very stoked over it, thus buying both versions. New companies always try to bring a breath of fresh air, improving quality and exceeding the standards set by older companies. P1 is oine fine example and everybody applauds it, but doesn't mean any other effort in statue producing is below par or much inferior. I am happy with my SSC Bats as i am going to bE if i Manage to get a Lee Bats by P1

[yipkusing]

I'm blown away by this on fb from the p1 collector group. The best 1/3 with great dynamic pose. Ex still not sold out! No love for Niel T.T

[decoyoctopus10]

Here's from facebook:

Before someone ask, this is the measurement
Height 76cm (30 inches)
Base Width 31cm (12.3 inches)
Base Length 37cm (14.6 inches)

Would suggest that the width be at 38cm (15 inches) for the cape. The cape shown in the photos require at least 38cm
