Relatively cheap. Thought this was going to be $1300-ish actually. So a relatively nice surprise on the price.

Oh interesting. Thought I was the only one that saw Croc's portrait that way.

Didn't they tweak Croc's portraits? I agree, when first teased, they looked like Pokemon to me.

The pop gun could have easily been an exclusive so the display name is really just an added bonus. A FREE exclusive bonus like the good old days. Hard to complain when it?s free. If it was an extra $15 even it might be a pass for many people. But I like it and like that it had hold the unused Joker hand so it?s just just lying by the wayside.

Thr concept art had a hand buzzer for Joker. I think that would have been another nice swap out. Maybe even an alternate Joker head? They could have gone crazy with swap outs like Prime 1 but not having them probably helped keep the price “reasonable” for such a large piece. The pop gun is probably what pushed this over $999.99

Not sure about the tweaking, but I prefer the crocodile head

i was not paying attention to that piece so i didnt know it came with that third crocodile head which is definitely the best but not a way i would ever have croc displayed. reads more leatherhead than killer croc imo

I never liked how killer croc looked in the dio, doesn't make him look menacing, just looks defeated already.

I love how SS Batman vs Joker makes it look like they are both equally going at it. Even the P1 batman maybe kicking joker down but joker still looks like he still about to pull something out.

I want to like it but...

batman's knee to jokers groin. a little too much like two guys scissoring lol. batman's right leg is very awkward.
also joker's face is a big no.
love the plaque tho!
