Are Prime 1 bases too big?

[chrismhk]

Yes, especially the recent 1/3th scale’s bases are unnecessarily big. Some of them are actually too distracting and takes away the focus from the character: comic Deathstroke, Hush Huntress etc. Akhram series are actually not too bad compared to the others.

Nope,that's what set them apart and is part of the charm imo. And I love it when the whole set-up is closer to a diorama telling a story.Look at Ash f.e....takes me right back in those crazy scenes with the laughing deer on the wall and another with possessed Henrietta.If it was Ash standing there on a simple base I wouldnt be interested...now it's a must-have.Keep up the great work with the big bases!

Never got the Bane PF, but doesn't surprise me that it is 2 boxes! When i got Serpentor it is 2 boxes as well, massive statues.

Personally, their bases are a bit large for my taste. I have a few pieces but only because i like their G.I. Joe pieces. Except Destro :P

I love big bases. There is more to see. More Details, a story perhaps.
But to see, for example, always the Jokers face on a Harley base is boring.

No difference than buying 2-3 ss statues in place. They look cooler big definitely if space is not an issue. I also want my moneys worth.

But the Harley Quinn Suicide Squad base i really do not like at all. It's really big but i don't feel adds anything at all to the statue.

This. All of this.

Love them just as they are... would even say the bases should be even more elaborate...

I love most of Prime 1's base designs. But as much as I love them it does make it harder to display their pieces.

I'm still wondering on how I'm going to display their new 1/3 Aquaman piece, as the base is quite wide and deep. Quite different from my other preorders including the 1/3 Justice League pieces which should fit in either Besta's and/or Stuva's with doors. But that being said I really like the design of the base and have nothing bad to say about it.

Another large base which has gone above and beyond is the Poison Ivy piece, which imo truly adds to the piece, and another piece I don't regret preordering.

And regarding the Arkham bases, I do have one complaint that I just discovered. I had previously purchased the Harley Quinn, and found the base to be nice and compact and with just enough weight. However when I got the Scarecrow piece in recently, the base was easily more than double HQ's and Two Face's bases even though they were more or less the same exact design and size. And now I'm concerned that my current shelf will eventually buckle under the additional weight.

No the bigger and more complex the base the better I want to see what my money is getting me
