Wow, looks enormous, like a shelf space killer. How tall is it at its highest point? Are you happy with it?

Holy smokes. I don't even have one of those but I've already managed to break it in three places.

I love looking at pieces like that but would be nervous owning them. Looks great.

At this point, I think I'm done paying the full price. If they don't go down or end up selling out, so be it, but given the massive price drops some of these have seen I'd have to REALLY have some FOMO going on to pull the trigger, especially at $200.

I totally forgot about the Freddie Williams one. I go look on Amazon and it's $53 with an MSRP of $125. Glad I forgot about it.

Then I see some of these pre-orders look "sold out" on some sites (the Joker Timm statue disappeared entirely from Amazon), which makes me wonder if they started manufacturing less or they'll just be one of those thing that become available after release and eventually end up getting these deep discounts. FOMO was about to get me and I was going to order them from McFarlane, but once I saw the price of that Freddie Williams B&W, I paused.

Totally agree, I end up waiting on almost all of them unless the artist is coming to a nearby con. I have all of them and have been buying them since 2010 or 2011 and as cool as these statues are, $200 retail plus shipping and tax is just too much when the line started at $40 or $50.

You're totally right too, look at how cool that Bat-owl Capullo one is and it's like $45 now. For every McFarlane, Silvestri or Penguin, there are 5x as many that are 40% of retail price.

I've collected the whole line so I'm forced into buying all of them haha. I'm in the process of re-doing my office so it's packed up but off-hand I don't think it's any bigger than the McFarlane which I believe is the largest. It probably takes up the same size footprint as the Freddie Williams one.

Yeah, to the top of the cape lifted over his head is the same height as the McFarlane?

[CessnaDriver]

I was dreading this beast but on a riser in the back of a Detolf it's OK like some other big cape Batmans.
Pardon the dust. Need to dust. Always need to dust. LOL

[The Dark Knight]

It looks really good. It doesn't look bigger than the rest of the line, just the cape is very big.
