This is just a reminder that at this scale you better be 200% sure of what you are getting. Also be ready to accept an incomplete line not just from Sideshow but from any producer. I am hoping for Kingdom Come to get at least half the love the Arkham line received and I would call it a success.

Just thought I would share my opinion on the topic of Superior.
These statues fundamentally are art created from the mind of an artist for the eyes of the beholder. If you read comics, the comic reproductions will suit you. If you play games, so will gaming repro's and so on. What I do respect are opinions that include "to me" which includes the opinions of me. Thanks for the point of view!
Remember that scene in the first Batman movie where the reporters walk into Bruce Wayne's collection room?
This is where you would find pieces like the Arkham line. Next to the Prime 1 Arkham art pieces, it is really the comic book statues that are out of place and do not hold to the same aesthetics.
Camaros, Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, etc. All great cars. All representations of what is fun and will turn heads if you like these sorts of things. But a Lamborghini or Ferrari or Pagani or you know the breed, everyone will stop to look.
For anyone with the pleasure of seeing the Arkham line in person, I invite you to create an opinion for yourself and time will be the only true judge.
