Help with a XM purchase decision

[Maldis]

I'm on the fence between two expensive XM pieces. Samurai Batman or Ghost Rider.

Which one would you recommend?

I like the Ghost Rider Statue more for the intensity

I like Batman as a character more and the XM Batman comes with many switchouts. He's also the companion piece for the other XM Rogues.

Personally, think both are good pieces but I vote Ghost Rider for his presence

Batman has a myriad of switch outs, which is really cool. But, there will be many more Batmans in the future. The Ghost Rider has awesome presence and will never be matched, much like the XM Hulkbuster. Go with Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider all day!

If you're gonna spend that much money, I'd go for Batman on horse.

Ghost Rider, no contest.

And I'm a Batman comics collector.

If you're talking about the original Samurai Batman, then I'd go with that.

The switch outs on that statue are awesome. You can make Batman look like a modern Batman without the samurai look. And the sculpt is exceptional ...the proportions, pose and portraits are well done.

I didn't like the wheels on the Ghost Rider statue. The wheels on the bike should've looked like a wheel on fire, not look like a fiery pin-wheel. And the changes made to the chain just didn't agree with me.

Anyway, that's my take. Your call in the end.

I'd vote Ghost Rider just because there are many, many Batman statues out there and more always released. Ghost Rider statues of that scale and level of detail are few, if rarely done.

That being said, I think that Samurai Batman is one of the coolest statues with all of the change-outs. I really prefer him on the building more than on the horse.

Sidenote about that Samurai Batman -- I just saw on Etsy there is a "Royal Selangor Hand Finished Pewter" version for $1300. Never knew that. Then again, I don't collect male characters

Amen, men are boring to look at.
