Two different lines:
1. Batman/Gotham samurai line
2. “Regular” DC line
XM’s DC license originally didn’t include regular comic characters. They released the 1st Samurai Batman, and then continued with a whole samurai line. Their DC license later expanded, now they do regular comic characters, but the samurai line does well enough overall that they continue it. I like this line.
I’d say they don’t do more samurai statues than normal DC statues at this point, but most of their Batman related statues are in the samurai line because it’s existed longer.
