Not Bowen...Japanese....(Kotobukiya).....Friggin' VINYL (!), not resin......

and yet, strangely, I'm drawn to it....anybody else?

I broke and even ordered one...hope it doesn't let me down, come this Wednesday...

It's cool, but I'm sick of vinyl. It feels so cheap. :(

I definitely will be ordering this piece at some point. It is, to me, right now, the nicest
Batman statue that I've seen. I do love the look of the Bowen Batman (bronze especially)
but that is in another league price-wise at this point.

So many Batman figures/statues have overdone features: Too long ears, too
short ears, too big muscles, stupid damned armored suit, funky belt, whatever.
This Koto Batman figure just looks "right" to me. As right as I've seen so far.
I'd love to have a Clark Bartram as Batman sculpture from Batman: Dead End.

I didn't get to see Batman Begins in the theater, so for me, Dead End is still THE
best Batman on film thus far. It had the Batman look and attitude down perfectly.

I got one of these, but am still waiting for the day DC Direct does a Neal Adams Batman fullsize statue.

Awesome piece, but simply too expensive for vinyl.

Even though it's vinyl it's as heavy as a resin statue. It IS the best Batman statue. You won't be sorry if you order this one IMHO.

already ordered this one and can't wait - Not a huge fan of the bat statues out there, but this one by pics alone has my attention. Saw it finally in London's Forbidden Planet so grabbed it. Very nice!

Yep got this when it came out in Japan a few months back. Simply awesome piece. The fact that it's vinyl doesn't detract from it at all in my opinion. It's quite a big size so I think it's worth the money.

When I saw this at first I thought it was a crime that a sculpt this nice wasn't done in resin. But it's intriguing to think that it still might be as nice as a resin piece. I may have to check it out. How's the paint job on it?

I picked one up 2 weeks ago, and I'm glad I did. Looking at it, you wouldn't know it was vinyl. It's incredibly detailed, with a great paint job and it's in scale with Bowen pieces. As someone already said, it's the best Batman to date by far. This is what the Jim Lee Batman statue SHOULD have looked like.

But then it wouldn't really be the Jim Lee Batman, now would it? :p

I agree if this came out before the jim lee one I would never have bought the jim lee one.

The koto is a lot cheaper i`m sure you can find it on ebay unless you want to really get rid of the JL batman.

Anyone familiar with Kotobukiya knows their stuff is quality, regardless of the material it's made out of. Look at their Star Wars kits.
