I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

So after the show he went back to the digital sculpt, which wasnt 100% done anyways, and worked with Guillermo on some changes.
"Tweaks" can have ripple effects, and Chad ended up tweaking a bit more, and got to where the new one is. Not a total reinvention, but yah, its changed a bit.
I see pros and cons to both versions of him. Chad and I dont agree on everything, which I think is healthy, we both bring unique POV's to everything we do. I was happy with the original but I also support Chad since he has a strong passion for DC, and he wanted to see the new JLA trinity line-up through to the end, and that way I could focus more on MOTU, Myths & Monsters, etc.
End of the day, you cant make everyone happy. We're stoked people like what we make and want to support us, and if you're not happy with the new direction we'll probably make another Batman in a couple of years. I hate this one Batman took this long to come out, we shouldve had two Batmans done in that time, but not everything in life goes according to plan. Some of that is on me, some on Chad, and some on circumstances completely out of our hands. But we made it, FINALLY, and Im excited to get onto new stuff and show off this Batman with Superman and Wonder Woman soon... they do all look great together.

Thanks for your response, it is greatly appreciated.
It looks like I’m in the minority, but I love the new Batman pose. For me it went from a maybe to a must-buy. Can?t wait !

If Chad left the AD'ing up to me on these DC pieces, Id remove all the outside undies

Your best statue is HeMan on Battlecat. Im gonna take a wild guess who did that one  When is that ES gonna be announced? You guys making 250? 2500?
Flash is a nice piece. He is sculpted to perfection. I just thought there was too much of a backward lean on his pose, base a little tall and the lightning bolts a little crazy. I saw him at Conquest Comics a week ago, nice presence to him.
Keep up the good work.

Ah I see. Thank you for the clarification, Dave.
Well ...maybe SSC is not making their Batman Bust into a full 1/4 statue after all.

Just curious what do you guys think the price will be.. I will try to snag the Hush I miss spoke on my last post that I was leaning toward the Black and Grey.. although I will get it if the Hush version is
sold out. I have Aquaman and the Wonder Woman exclusive 1/6 scale locked up. I’m guessing $500 to $550? What do you guys think am I way off?
