It was surprising to hear that production has already started.

Hmm. I thought it would ship after Nightwing.

Prices are insane but that's going across the board...but a niche line and it's the 3rd samurai Batman already...

I think the Joker is a really good piece (not great) but none of them warrant the prices imo...

I think XM need to step back and look at what they are putting out and how they just drowning most collectors...first Samurai Batman was an expensive piece, then they hit you with a horse piece now another similar piece to the first one but its more expensive than the horse piece and it's not even that limited...come on guys.

I don't remember XM ever giving the Samurai line an ES Cap size.. I know Marvel is 999 and DC 1:6 is 1200.

Dec 2020 shipping date is insane...on record, their fastest turnaround ever! They have already started production...jeez

I can afford to get this Batman Ver A but to pay off the balance by end of the year is a bit too fast... T.T I have other statues to pay off as well.. (Thanos, Magik, Gambit, Iceman, Batman Rebirth)... oh boy...

Is there any link for an official source on the matter? It seems incredibly fast.

It was on the XM/gem mint stream, and dec 2020 i bet it gets pushed to Jan, but if it doesn't i'm pretty much out cause i can't afford that this year. Was hoping it was going to be more like march.

This statues came out amazing with details, but i'll be shocked if they get the max edition size cause so much is already being pushed to end of year, and how many will have an extra $3000 to get both? Tho the price not the date ended up pushing me out.

Unless they will just make the max edition and wait for it to slowly sell ??

I hear you. I was expecting a mid 2021 release. I wanted to be somewhat responsible and not spend so much in Q3 and Q4.

Ben from XM mentioned the window last night during their livestream.

To add on that: He also said Batman is already in production. (I guess Joker too)

There was a limit when they intoduced MTO late 2018.
They posted a list of their various lines with max edition sizes, but it's removed or I can't find it.
It stated that the Power Rangers were max 300 and Samurai series 999. (don't remember the other lines, due to me only being interested in these two.)
NorthernLadMSP made a thread about this and wrote: "[..]Here's a really amazing article that XM just posted about the ins and outs of their new made-to-order system. It gives great info, including all the future max ES for all of their current licenses, and answers questions about pre-ordering XM pieces and how MTO works.[..]
Sadly, the list itself seems to have been removed and no one in that thread stated the exact number. But it was there. I'm not crazy okay?!

Also, offering two versions i think became a loophole as they can increase the ES past 999. They can offer two versions but for me combined ES should still be 999 if they wanted to be true to their promise before.
