Oh absolutely, if it wasn't hidden it would shatter the illusion. I might have to set something similar up with my Bane. Good job brother!

I regret returning him. I'll probably try and pick him up down the road.

Resurrecting this old thread as I am confused. Not confused about which one I should buy (the OG or new one), but because I do not understand how suddenly people have started not just nitpicking, but completely shunning the OG. (Always wanted to get the OG, hopefully will be getting him in sometime)
Kind of strange that a statue once revered (few weeks ago) starts getting trashed because now it's "too huge", "hulkish", "exaggerated", and what not! Don't know if certain folks are 'enablers' / 'influencers' (for SS) on social media, or the new Bane is actually 'out of this world, crazy good' statue. I know it is the classic Bane, I understand, but to say OG is massive (and hence, a dimwit and 'not a strategist' ) and trashing it sounds quite weird.
There, I had to say this. Thank you for reading!

Kind of a confrontational comment but here is my take.
I prefer the old PF but can see the argument that he is only a brute in this depiction. Bane is one of Batman's most dangerous foes possessing both intelligence and strength. He was also depicted as a mindless Hulk like villain in the first Arkham Asylum game and in Batman And Robin (the one with Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy) and lots of fans hated it. That is why some people prefer the new maquette.
The maquette clearly depicts intelligence along with strength. He is also standing straight up which is rare for a big character in the statue game. So I can see the points arguing for the new maquette.
All said and done I'm completely happy with my PF. I feel the destroyed bat symbol is a better symbolism for his destruction of Batman than the Batmobile parts. I also don't like the suit design exposing his abs (I know it is classic but it looks goofy for such a serious comic villain).
I keep seeing Borat when I see his Bane's classic suit. Tank top for the win.

Maybe because at the time, it was the only one and people weren’t going to complain. Now that this one is coming out, some people don’t need to appreciate the OG? I don’t know. Seems silly to me. The “OG” was released in 2017, right? All those 3 years ago...ha!
Personally I don’t like the singlet outfit on the new Bane.
