Here you go..........

I assume Jones' Batman work is all vampire??

No, he did a good stretch on the regular run of Batman. But I think most people associate him with the 2 or 3 Batman vampire graphic novels he did.

Sweet! Might have preferred a non-vampire Batman if given an option, but this'll be very cool. And I did like that Crimson Mist series of gn's.

I actualy think this is a non-vampire statue , looks great , too bad we have to wait so long before it comes out !!

Kelley Jones' batman art is very similar. Long, flowing creased capes, tall ears. This isn't a vamp piece

The way this is posed, if you want him to be a vampire you can pretend he is. If you don't, then he isn't.

This will be a nice addition to the line. Hopefully we'll get a Batman that is not quite so stylized next. Maybe a Marshall Rogers?

Dang it I love this. This is the best Batman Blackand white yet. Its based off one of my favrotie artists.

Who ever did this rocks! This sculptor has great talent.

Don't much like this one. I love Jones' art and does such great work with Batman's cape you'd think, like with the Tim Sale piece, they could have made the cape more dynamic. I'm disappointed, frankly.

Also, from the teeth/gums it sure looks like the vampire version of Batman...

I respect your opinion, wktf, but I gotta say when I envisioned a kelly jones batman, this is THE pose I thought of.

Um, at the risk of sounding obtuse, where did that pic come from? It's looks like a comic shop type dislpay shelf but the card states Nov 2006. ???

Toyfair most likely. And I like it though I wish I could get more pics. This has to be the best line out hands down so far as far as mini statues go.

Thanks for the help. With you there 100%. I have them all so far and plan on buying the rest. The wait for these is a bit vexing though.

Hi guys. The photo is from Toy Fair. Below is the link for a pretty good DC slideshow overview. There are like 70 slides or so.

Enjoy.

Kewl DC slideshow. Not really impressed with the DC stuff for the movie. The In Flight Superman looks like he's gonna fall off. And all the other stuff seem a bit plain. The WETA piece looks kewl from far away but up close not that great IMO. And is that a Premium Format Superman I see?

Definitely, and I wish DC would collect them!

Nice sculpt.

Kelley Jones is my favorite modern day Bat-artist, and this is spot-on! I concur with those hoping for Neal Adams and Marshall Rogers additions to this line. How about a Bernie Wrightson and a **** Sprang? Also, if they never do a Alex Ross piece, that would be fine by me, as the novelty has worn off.

Guess I should have typed "Richard Sprang." How odd...

di.ck sprang, one of the few people whose name is also a complete sentence! (along with Roger Moore and Randy Queen!).

Love Kelly Jones Batman run. The only other run in modern times that is up there for me is the Alan Grant/Norm Breyfogle run. Can't wait for this statue.

You have got to be kidding me! :eek:

I guess that maks Ray V. 5 for 5 so far in the statue world, magneto, sabertooth, logan, batman, and punisher. :thumbs2:

Ray Rocks!

I really like this statue as well.. so far the only B&W statue I was not terribly fond of was the Simon Bisby one... Also.. the Tim Sale really does nothing for me... I guess I will have to see it upclose and personal.

Good thing you are not an accountant. Make that 7 for 7. You forget the new SS Wolverine and Ghostrider statues.
