Just as people said the Spider-Man comiquette and Batman PF looks big I think Killer Croc looks small based on the video they showed. And Sideshow doesn't always get scale right. Igo admitted the first Green Lantern was too small. How is it not possible that they made Killer Croc too small?

Sure he is crouching so he isn't as tall height wise. But just look at him compared with Black Canary. Sure his arms are much thicker but his presence doesn't display what he should be....one of Batman's largest and most intimidating villains. If he looks like that next to Black Canary it won't get much better next to the Batman PF.

Don't forget that he costs $520 compared with Black Canary's $450. I don't see the $70 extra in size or detail when they are placed side by side.

At the end of the day I'm still gonna get him no matter what but it doesn't change the fact that Killer Croc looks small to me.
Go back and look at the picture again. Look at the base size difference, it's nearly equal to the amount of space from Canary's head to Crocs hunched shoulder. So if you leveled the bases Croc's hunched shoulder would be as tall as Canary's head, which of course means if Croc were standing he'd tower over Canary.

Also, look at the shoulder width of Croc in the picture, he is about twice the width of Canary, maybe a little more and he's not turned with his shoulders facing front where they would be at their broadest.

The visual cues are there to tell you that he is a large PF, but because of the pose and height of the base it makes him look smaller especially in photos with a PF Standing up and on raised base.

I'd do a photoshop cut and superimpose them together but I'm at work, so it'll have to wait.

it does look like it may require a little paint blending on that seam unless this can be caught and corrected at the factory level before shipment

Looks good to me. And I'm pretty sure the one on the floor is a production sample.

The neck seam looks terrible though. I still love him overall but that is its biggest detraction.

Neck seam shouldn't be an issue to me.

It will be nice for a change in my Bat collection, than another Bat, Harley, Joker statue.
