Interesting that the announcement is still found there. If I recall, it was taken down from IG (or some other social media platform where I first saw it), so it had me questioning how thorough the "return" of these lines will be. As said, just finishing off what was already solicited? Or actually seeing brand new stuff (which, to date, we have not).

I think (and I hope) we will see new stuff (maybe in 2023? ) but if they just release the announced statues, I won't be too disappointed because I'm also collecting the X-Men line by Iron Studios and I don't know where to expose so many statues .

No, They are resin but there is still a deffirence. The previous ones before the last two that i sent pics were polyresin.

I don't like the pose of Batman Black & White (Freddie E. Williams) statue btw... It is like '' weeee weeee, fly to your freedom little bat weee...''. kind of pose is like a scene from FreeWilly lol and man, i watched some national geographic alright, you should never touch a bat, bats carry bacteria and viruses which are very deadly to humans. A Bat's immune system is very advenced, it can handle those germs, bacterias, viruses that live on itself but if they pass on to you somehow, you are a dead man. No way of cure, you are done, caput.

There is a video on FB with someone showing how flexible the various parts of the new B&W Batmonster piece are. The piece is listed as made of "resin" at least on the BBTS website. I really don't know what this all means, or who it bothers (or not), but that's what I've seen so far.

Ok. Thanks for the info

The Brian Bolland B&W (from Killing Joke), Mignola Gotham by Gaslight, and Freddie E. Williams statues were all announced back in 2020.

Only truly new one so far is the Olivier Coipel Jace Fox Batman. And yeah, these things cost almost as much as the 1/6-scale Designer Series statues now.

[The Dark Knight]

Batman B&W Gotham by Gaslight (Mignola) statue ordered

Batman B&W Killing Joke (Boland) statue ordered

I was actually about to pull the trigger on Batman Who Laughs B&W which i found in a local store as well, but may be later. It seems like they have crap ton of it in their stock so no need to hurry.
