Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Slightly off topic, but I had a chance to meet Neal Adams at a local con a couple of years ago. We don't usually get big American names to come to our side of the world, so it was a pretty big deal. He entertained and talked to every single person in line at his table, even going way past the allotted time for signings. Good guy.

Official painted photos are here. Those seams are pretty disappointing though.

DC COMICS BATMAN THE BRONZE AGE ARTFX STATUE
The period from the 1970s to the second half of the 1980s was an important turning point in the history of American comics. Known as the Bronze Age, this era saw numerous superhero comics courageously shed light on the social issues of the period and its darker sides.

This statue is based on a legendary artist's reinterpretation of Batman at that time in a photo-realistic style for a new generation of comic fans, and is sculpted in the impressive size of a 1/6 scale (around 305 mm tall).

This original scene captures Batman inside the Batcave before going into action; a pose worthy of a commemorative statue to celebrate his legacy.
The base features a metal plate decorated with Batman's chest logo that the statue attaches to with embedded magnets. It is a simple feature that allows for a high level of freedom.

Display this piece together with the BATMAN: LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH BATMAN ARTFX STATUE and the BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE THE JOKER ?One Bad Day? ARTFX STATUE now on sale, and make daily life more exciting with these DC characters.

BATMAN and all related characters and elements ? & ? DC. (s22)
Available May 2023.

The colours look great, but they could have hid those seams a bit better...

I was on the fence about getting this. Now I am clearly in the "not buying because the seams are atrocious" yard.

That's another un-seamly statue that has saved me money.

I hate seams probably more than most, but, this isn't terrible from the front. Incidentally, how would you "hide" it? You can't... you need to have the head/cape be all one piece.

EDIT: Oh you mean the arm/chest seams. I thought everyone was talking about the head/neck one.

That Jim Lee one is not can be hidden in its intended position. This one is very noticeable and also has seams on the chest area.

Last time I checked the Flashpoint Bats was still easily available, I have a feeling this one will be the same a year or two from now.
