Batman Sanity - 1:6 Scale Diorama - Page 38

I love the sculpt but agree about the colors not matching the mood. For that reason I think I like the nightmare version a little more.

The arm seams bother me on a few characters.

Then the same people will ----- and moan that XM shows to much stuff to early and they shouldn't show anything until it's finished and changes can't be made...

Personally I rather they show their work in progress so they can take suggestions from collectors and modify the statue before it releases...

Yeah XM allows a limited number of pre-orders at the conventions for collectors willing to gamble on what the final piece will look like, but the bottom line is XM has not started official pre-orders yet, so anyone ordering early at shows or ordering from 3rd parties is your own fault.... usually when the official pre-order starts the statue is pretty much done, very small tweaks might happen but overall the statue pretty much stays the same.

Spot on!

We all know that is not going to be the final paints. So just keep in mind how great the sculpt is and that it will look different the next time.

I guess the thing that confuses me most by looking at the pictures is that this is supposedly 1:6 scale. I mean if I look at the Batman in these 2 pictures, those do not really look the same in terms of size.....do they? And that's not even taking into account all the other characters that are full sculpts instead of half bodies. Is this more of a 1:7 scale statue or is it just really hard to tell that it is 1:6 by the pictures? At the same time though maybe it's all right and I just haven't seen a ton of 1:6 statues. But that Joker sure doesn't look to be the same size as the Tweeterhead Joker to me.

Kinda hard to judge unless that same dude positioned himself next to the diorama for reference. Take away the billowing cape of the TH piece and it looks pretty comparable to me.

I disagree with one major caveat. If they are going to do this then make sure they listen to feedback. XM do so I have no issue with them showing unfinished work.

Having said that I’m still buthurt over Batman on Horse not being changed....

Looks great but not great enough that I am not sure if I won’t regret paying 2500 usd around for it in the future

kudos to those who get it though!

Yeah I thought the same when I saw pictures with a guy standing by it setting up his camera or something. Definitely looked smaller than 1/6 but I guess it would be difficult to tell until you see it in person.

That said, it's an incredible piece that I would love to own, but to me it's just not worth the money they are asking. Knock a 1000 $ / £ of it, then we could talk. It's getting to be the same for everything in this hobby though, the prices just aren't in any way appealing for me anymore.

It's a larger open space at NYCC. Its like a TV in the store. It looks smaller in the store and when it's at home it looks larger. It seems like it 1/6 scale in person. Its a large diorama. No way they can make it 1/4 scale.

I like the statue alot. and I was hoping to just pass on it cause of the cost. I gotta stop looking at it.when I go back . I wish it was less expensive. I understand the quality of sculpt and the difficulty painting it.I understand the price.I'm still on the fence ordering it cause of the price...I'm also very tempted to order this or the 1/6 DC line.The quality is better than Tweeter Heads but the price is higher. The details are better than some 1/4 scale statue. The paint app is really good. XM quality. The portraits on Joker,Aquaman,Superman and Wonder woman is sharp for 1/6. I didn't include Flash cause he wears a mask. All the DC 1/6 look great. My wallet is going to hate you XM.. They found a distributor for the US.

I like this piece I would love to get it but I can help and think XM coming out. Later with something better or something that I like more like Marvel characters this type of sculpt with Marvel characters would be amazing to me
