Well I haven't seen any of them so I will hold off my judgment until then.

I do have the P1 TDKR and the other one on PO but now I'm ready for 1/4 TDKR love.

Edit: I will most likely get the P1 Armored... how can I not

Yeah I mean I'm hoping to see it this month with their Batman-related store theme, and I don't know. I've just got a feeling they're really going to go all out for this one. That's obviously total speculation and means nothing lol, but I really think a 1/3 DKR Armored Batman is going to look really REALLY impressive.

What I'm afraid of is that they will go the new Bane over the top route vs the other two that are more toned down (for a P1 of course).

What I would love is for SS to make 1/4 or even 1/5 line for TDKR

What do you think will we ever see a PF?
That would be cool if they made the whole line of Batman, Superman, Joker, Carrie, and armored Batman. But SSC hogs up the 1/4 license and never makes any comic versions that people want. Why should they? Their statues fly off the shelves for some reason. Good thing there's P1 to make epic 1/3s that match the comics.

This and Kingdom Come Superman I’m surprised they’ve never made yet.

I believe they will make both in due time.

I actually see SSC eventually only making iterations of the big 10 or so characters from DC.

I don't think they have any interest in making pieces with ES of sub 1000 pieces that takes over a year to sell out.

These pieces are easily 4000 piece sellers and a sure bet in the future, IMO.

Prime 1 does any and every version of Batman in 1/3 scale. I guess they sell well enough as a whole because they consistently tackle different versions of Batman. Batman versions seem to be most of what they sell.

I’m interested in knowing why sideshow doesn’t do the same thing for 1/4? Yes, they’ve made a lot of Batman already, particularly movie/TV versions, but making the comic specific versions like Prime 1 does at the depth they do is something sideshow is missing out on, there’s so many possibilities (OG, DKR regular and armored, Kingdom Come, Troica, a Blue that isn’t a repaint, Batman Who Laughs, Gotham by Gaslight, Zur-En-Arrh, Green/Yellow Lantern, Batman on Mobius Chair (look it up), Vampire, etc)

Same can be said for Spider-Man (FF, Big Time/Stealth, armored, Noir, Knight, Ham, Parker Industries Armor, monkey, etc), especially after the game last year made good use of his different costumes and Spider-Verse became a hit movie.

There’s no need for sideshow to make up their own costumes when there’s so many versions that were actually published that people would prefer.

Maybe SSC is more corporate and doesn't have the comic book passion like other smaller companies.

I would have loved a 1/4 Hardy Bane.
I have invested in the 1/3 P1 version now.
I am glad that Secret Compass is a US distributor for them. Otherwise I would have had to pass. Their shipping seems reasonable. I would love to get the Hathaway Catwoman, but they are too expensive. Maybe in the future, when she is on the secondary market.
