if those above issues were received if ordered thru SpecFic, would they do the same with replacements and free shipping back to them?

I believe this statue was $2,399 (USD) directly from JND Studios, not including shipping, taxes or customs fees.

Unfortunately, I can't speak regarding Spec Fiction's policy; I ordered through JND directly.

I would contact JND regardless and let them guide the process regarding whether you can go through them directly, or if they require you to go through the respective dealer that the purchase originated from.

In my opinion - if you're in the market for the P1 piece, save your money and buy the Hot Toys figure. It's a better product.

Chris the Batman Statue Collector recently did a video of the 1/2 piece - and of course, in his "mind" - it was amazing. Either he's blind or a shill - take your pick, but I would ignore his advice.

I appreciate his positivity but I thought the same thing when watching that video. I thought the 1/2 Prime piece was really bad and couldn't believe Chris's praise on that one.

I don't watch any collector youtubers anymore, unless I need to take a quick look at a statue, which in that case I prefer to see an unboxing and first impressions from a niche account with low subscriber count. The big channels are not only incapable of offering the perspectives that I look for, but are completely annoying with their lack of virtues.

Received the customs bill from FedEx, so total cost breakdown for Batman (Single ver) direct from JND was:
$2,399.00 price
+ $268.00 shipping to US
+ $127.15 customs
= $2,794.15 total

only $127.15 customs?
Are VAT included?
in Italy, adding 22% VAT plus customs duties, we arrive at 28% taxes. To be calculated on the total price statue + shipping costs

Received an email from Spec Fiction that my Batman is fully paid off! Now the wait until it arrives…

interesting, that's just about the same as SpecFic's $2799 price with shipping included I think

Just received this from Spec and WOW!

What a masterpiece. I am actually more impressed by the Bale statue than the Batman. The likeness in person is spot on and the skin tone is very different than what we see in video and much more accurate. The tailoring on the suit is just perfection.

Couldn't be happier!

Got mine as well and I am beyond impressed. The JND hype is real folks. MUCH better in person than pics. And the Batman body is HEAVY. I just bought the single version and I know it was pricey but I love it.
