How many people have and like it?

I got it (and I like it) because it was based on an old Gil Kane pin-up page from the '60s. The only difference was the artistic decision to change from the generic hand in the artwork to Batman's gloved hand for the sculpt.

My one complaint is that, if this is supposed to be, as claimed, a "life-sized" statue, Batman's hand is actually too small. Batman is supposed to be about 6' 2" and very muscular. By comparison, I'm about 5' 10" and average build. MY hand is bigger that the Bat-hand in the statue! They should have gotten a real live big strong guy as a hand-model.

George Castanza was a hand-model for an episode!

Impossible for this to have been his one hand job... George is only 5'5".
