Sorry but this needs work. The base looks great and I can live with the pose, but the head sucks. It is too narrow, making his face look squished and throwing off the silhouette.

Batman is known for his lantern jawline, but this tapers the mask down so his chin looks too slim. It should be a "U" shape, not a "V" shape. And that, in turn, throws off the ears. I don't mind that they are long, but because PCS screwed up his jaw it makes them look more like devil horns.

Still time for this to be fixed, but it's so close to being the perfect Batman piece, it's a shame they fumbled the ball on the 20 yardline. As it stands I'd wait to see if Bowen gets DC before blowing $250 on a novelty.

(I also hope they do something to cover the way the metallic screw sticks out so obviously, as seen in NYCC photos).

That picture is super high res and the paints don't look great, also you can see the logo is a decal. Feel that the blue needs shading, more black highlights like the comic.

I'm not sure....at $175-$200 i was sold at $250 not so sure.

Do prefer the black too.

I was all in for the blue but the black seems to just work better for this piece. The criticisms of the high res shots and pricing seem fair at this point. It will be nearing $300 for me once shipping and fees are factored in.

Discount if paying in full will help.

I like it. I'd put it on the same level as Koto's best. It wouldn't fit my collection but I see the versatility of being wall-mountable.

The price feels high but with the discount, it's fair.

The EX has a joyful cheesiness that is just what the DR ordered. the soft sculpt, pose and colors make this piece fun. I'm really excited to see how this displays with Bowens.

Jerry, how wide is the statue? And please try to keep the ES as limited as possible.

Count me in on the blue one. It is my cup of tea.

The edges of the jaw are covered by the shape of his mask so it doesn't look too narrow to me. The overall jaw is as wide as his upper head from temple to temple.

I think the cheeks look too drawn in or something but it'll probably look fine in person or in different lighting. Overall this is decent. Would've been nice if this was 1:5 because he'd go next to my JSC Spidey Comiquette.
