That was what I was thinking too, especially given that they just announced a cancellation a day or two ago.

Has a Batman piece ever been cancelled?

It seems completely redundant to even really raise the topic of price anymore. I get the feeling that the only good response is to shake my head and just walk on by.
I'm genuinely happy for those who want this piece, and are happy to spend the money on it. I don't do "comic" statues, but the concept here is really nice.
I'm a big BIG fan of the general updates of characters that moves away from capes and leotard / Speedo pant combos. I've always thought the cape on Batman just looked ridiculous - but with the nightmare version, and all these modern takes - it's moving the character design into a place I can support. They just need to drop the bat ears  |
Ok but at that point are you even buying a Batman? You really are just asking for some Dad in an over coat dressing up for Halloween by putting on his best Batman T shirt..LOL

I get dropping the cape once in awhile. The new Prime 1 Advanced Suit can pull it off without a cape. But anybody wanting to lose the ears too is on par with your description. Hell, I can make that outfit here at home, lol.

I figured that more than a few purists would disagree with me, that's fine, and to a point - understandable.

im glad i got the P1 pieces i did when i did, i feel for new collectors who are just getting going. at least SS is doing a good job of keeping things "reasonable" theyre just not really producing anything new and exciting lately imo
i get that production costs are higher for multiple reasons, i get it, then maybe take that into consideration when youre designing a super elaborate statue with a HUGE base of a niche character to keep the price reasonable for customers who actually would want it. i mean is that such a bizarre concept? they could have made a kick ass statue here on a much simpler base, still kept it relatively dynamic but hey - thats not the prime1 way - everythings gotta be over the top and only affordable for the most elite collector

Not sure if it counts but the BvS Batmobile was cancelled. Another disappointment from P1 as I had that on PO from SS.

I mean, they probably need to cut at least $700 off of this, but no way slimming the base and dropping some switchouts gets there.
