The term "Classic" usually gets my attention. It would mean classic comic style to me. However, XM uses the term "Classic" rather loosely.

The statues in their classic series don't look quite classic to my liking. I bet this one will likely be the same. We will see.

And on the 1/3 side of things, Prime 1 has several versions too.

I guess if you don't like either of the 2 1/4 SSC pieces, this may be an option. I think it would have been cooler if XM produced a character never produced before in 1/4 scale like Riddler or Two Face or Ra's Al Ghul (and I am not counting the Samurai version of Riddler).
I need a Ra's Al Ghul 1/4 or 1/3 badly

- Pre-Order for Bane - Classic in 1/4 and 1/6 scale will be open on 29th November 2023 -

Often at war with his personal dependence on the super-serum that gives him his strength, Bane will never stop fighting to prove he deserves to rule.

Experience the raw intensity of Bane - the menacing villain who made his mark by defeating the Batman! This character comes with two heads switch outs, one featuring Bane fully masked and another that has been torn at the mouth as he lets out an intimidating roar, muscles bulging and veins popping ? a sight that could give anyone pause as they face this insurmountable behemoth with sharp fighting skills and wits that can match up with the Dark Knight himself.

~~~~~~~~~

Features Bane 1/4 :

? One (1) highly detailed sculpt
? Two (2) head switch outs
? Two (2) right arm switch-outs
? Crafted in Polystone
? Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish

Not super impressed with this one. Think both of SS's previous offerings are superior sculpts.

Yeah, I can't find anything new or interesting about this one.

Nothing too special here. I prefer the OG Sideshow as well. For the cost of shipping an XM piece nowadays, it's got to be spectacular.

Their art direction in the last few years has certainly gone down hill.
