New Batman PF

[NorthernLadMSP]

I would never display this Batman. I think it is a massive fail. I'd sell it and buy the Prime 1.

Possibly, depending on how the in-hand stuff looks. But I'm betting by the time this gets to a reasonable price a better looking 1/4 scale Batman will already be on the horizon.

Reaching?

I feel there must be some truth to it.

I remember things differently myself. I felt Wonder Woman was the most well received of all the Trinity in both series. At least when it came to reveals and anticipation. I will say that Wonder Woman's QC was probably the weakest (sadly) of the first trio when it came to production.

This statue reminds of Etrigan the Demon.

So there's ton of hate for this piece here, but what about the Arkham Batman PF now?

Its very similar in description. A hunched over or leaning Batman on an Arkham Asylum inspired base. But the Original Arkham PF actually has a much more comic accurate suit, trunks and all. Even the coloring Dark Dark Blue and Gray.

And I have to mention, the boots, due to this PFs overly detailed boots, The boots on the Arkham PF are much closer to the boots drawn in the books today.

Throwing ideas out there, I have this New PF on order but I am wondering if it adds anything to the collection.

I do not purchase Martin Canale sculpture for a long time.

Not disagreeing. Just to say that this PF will likely have a higher ES than any other Batman statue produced by any of the other statue companies. The other companies could actually produce something ten times more impressive and still, the SS version will have 5 times the ES. It must be good to be SS.

Even more reason not to buy this piece.
