I am really excited about this piece and to get my order locked in. I agree about Poison Ivy. In a perfect world it would have been nice having flesh color on her or a different shade of green but what we see in these pics has no effect on my appreciation of this piece and my desire to own it. Supposedly the painted piece is not final so possibly some of the paint shades and color may change slightly.

Thanks Hellboy. I totally agree.

Not a Batman guy, but this is probably the best statue I've ever seen.

I think this piece defiantly looks best unpainted... Although you would think the unpainted version would be a lot cheaper then the painted one...

It’s painted, it’s just monochromatic. It’ll almost certainly be the more limited of the two as well. Plus they’re still investing more in the overall project by offering an alternative paint app despite one being more simplistic than the other. Given all that XM doesn’t really have any incentive to create any separation in price point between the two.

I'm not getting it because while I think it's a very cool idea/statue, it's just a hell of a lot of money for really only like 4-5 characters I'd care to have.

I actually think I prefer the smoke version. The paint effect is really well done.

Looks amazing! Color all the way for me but I really like what they did with the muted smoke version too. The one exception being Freeze’s missing dome. I get why I’d doesn’t work conceptually but I could make the same argument that it isn’t practical either given the character’s condition. That said all that could be written off within the nightmare abstraction I suppose.

“There is also 1 tiny but important easter egg included in both versions; many fans have feedback wanting the Riddler in the piece. The composition is currently featuring 12 characters including Batman. In order not to defray too much away from the original masterpiece art concept, we have included an element symbolizing Riddler's presence in the statue - but telling you would be spoiling the fun. You'd have to solve the riddle yourself and find out where is the clue - afterall, the Riddler doesn't show himself until his riddles are solved.“.

Order placed! Color version all the way for me but I can appreciate what XM achieved with the dream version.
