Thumbs down New bronze Batman statue,

not realy a DC Direct piece but the ones who will be interested to read this will look for it over here .

I was looking forward to this line from the Noble collections company , Two new Batman begins Bronze cast statues !!! been waiting ever since I saw the pics posted and then ... I got this in the mail .





A bad quality statue , it's some kind of metal all right but if it was a bronze one , they wouldn't have to paint it in this bronze finish colors .
The sculpt was good I think , but the mold was a bit worn out ,because lines that were supposed to be straight aren't and the face detail is all messed up .
You can also see the seems on the face and body area . Not worth the 125$ plus shipping , I will probably never get my money back by selling this on the bay but it will end up there eventualy.

I also bought the mini prop cowl wich is a decent collectable shown next to the overpriced bronze wannabe statue .
The cowl is made from decent material and is quite heavy with a graphite base .



The second statue that will come out is the Batman flying statue , the original sculpt looked amazing and was posted by the sculptor on this forum about 4 months ago .
After owning this , I will pass on the second one because it's probably the same bad quality as this one .

Pics of the catalogue are posted below , you can see the difference with the actual piece .

Wow, you're right, that looks like a different statue! I'm sure we've all had at least one of those occurences, never any fun.

I was gonna order the second one too ,was realy excited about it but I'm not much for the pre-order thing .
Now I'm glad I didn't pre-order both !!!

it's a shame to put this next to other statues , It looks more like a first prize trophee for best dressed kid as Batman !!
