Prime 1 Studios Next Level Showcase

[V4XCollect]

Awesome show!!! What a great time to be a DC collector especially following the DC Fandom event. Prime 1 really put a lot of effort into this one.

Added to the "maybe" list:
- Talon Court of the Owls
- Batman Beyond
- Black Canary
- Predator Killer
- Nier Automata - Diorama
- Wonder Woman - Artgerm
- Alita - Motorball Tryout
- Wonder Woman vs Hydra
- Harley Quinn - Arkham City
- Penguin
- Godzilla vs Kong

I agree, I'm sick not only of Batman, but the whole DC Universe.

It was a great event, better and more direct then Sideshow's, wonderful statues and dioramas, but what I see was like: DC movie, DC comic, DC game, DC parallel universe who nobody care, DC DC DC DC DC DC DC DC DC DC... then some movies, anime, videgam... END!

For me, who don't care about DC, it's really boring sometimes, what worries me is wait a long time to released videogame statues, because they focus in launched first what sells better (DC), I hope we don't see again what happen with The Witcher line...

In the end for me was amazing, hope see more stuff that's not DC... what about Street Fighter line?

Anyway the best of the show for me was:

- Resident Evil Diorama (Finally!)
- Nier Automata Diorama
- Black Canary (DC I know, but she's amazing!)

Even if you liked it all they had was a terrible camera looking at stuff... Wasn't even worth watching for me.

Thank you for the amazing post/thread start games Northern and Shoo. You two were next level on the ball!!

Just finished watching the video.
In short, money saved..

The 1st hour appeared to contain video of piece’s seen in the past complete with 'lots' of After FX
The following 1hr 45mins contained info on pieces past, present and future.
There appeared to be no news on Street Fighter or Death Stranding
Other than Zatanna which I have on pre_order, Alita Battle Angel - Motorball Tryout was the only new piece I can say caught my interest. Great looking piece, if a bit on the massive side, which will probably prevent me placing an order.

A few mentions:
Batman: Arkham City - Harley Quinn (sitting on red chair)
I like this piece, but not enough to want to own it. That could change. I doubt it.
The circular base looks too big, thus having a shrinking affect on Harley.

Black Canary
Easy pass. The base looks somewhat dodgy.

Wonder Woman “Rebirth”
Decent enough piece. Not the Wonder Woman for my collection. This one edges towards super model.

Lee Bermejo - Catwoman
Not sold on the pose, the portrait or the base. The portrait looks oversized?

Alita Battle Angel - Motorball Tryout
For me, this was the highlight of the show. Amazing looking.
I passed on the previous Alita from P1. I just might pre_order Motorball Tryout

Resident Evil 2 - Claire Redfield
Looks ok. The piece appears to look small, possibly 1/4 scale or smaller?

Other licences including LOTR, Jurassic Park, Transformers, Game of Thrones, Predator fail to interest.
An Arnold Schwarzenegger from Predator would go down well.

Fantastic show the sheer number of new reveals was astounding, I was only expecting maybe 5-7 at the most but not 30!, it put Sideshows SDCC event to shame in my opinion.
Red Death and Beyond were the stand outs for me, biggest let down was no new Guyver reveals, imo one of their best statue lines.

Prior to the event, I will say I was starting to get tempted in hopping over to Queen Studios and now that plan has changed entirely.

Need to make more room for Prime 1...

A lot comes down to expectations. I figure one piece at a show is a win for me.

I got 3 (WWx2+BC) + a possible 1 (2B) and some other surprising ones (RE2 & A:BA). To me I'd give this show an "A" and say it was the best statue show I've seen by a company.

I get the Batman fatigue (I don't, and have zero plans to ever, own a Batman) but they did throw a lot out there.

Even with it being DC heavy, the sheer volume of pieces and the amount of new reveals put SS to shame.

For myself, Geralt is a go and maybe the RE piece(s). Also tempted to see that Dante; it looks stunning but I’m sure it will be 3k+.
