It really is 1/4, just using the images, resizing to the measurements given on the Prime 1 product page.
Batman is 18.5 inches from the tip of his cowl to the bottom of his boot.
Exactly 1/4th scale.
I agree this is to side step licensing issues, as it is titled 1/3rd scale.

Ok well that’s my point lol, you can’t just side step licensing by making something another size and say “Oh yeah, it’s 1/3. Trust us.” Licensing really wouldn’t have a point if you could just do that.

Sure, it’s 1/3. Batman is only 4 feet, 7.5 inches tall. You guys didn’t know that?

I haven’t read the story yet, as I’m waiting on the Omnibus which comes out I believe in October (though it might be in volume 2, rather than volume 1, I’m not too sure), but it’s pretty much an elseworlds story isn’t it? So maybe everyone is not that tall in that world.......

Not many people realize that New 52 refers to Batman’s height.

Switch-out gun:
Could "Prime 1" be added to the title, please?

I don’t think it’s really necessary. I mean, if P1 was still in the general section I get it, but this section is dedicated to their product. It’s already bad enough that almost everyone who starts a P1 thread has to begin the title with “Prime 1” making titles longer than necessary. Imagine if every thread in the Sideshow section started out with “Sideshow Collectibles.”

I disagree. It is actually very useful. When I looked for this thread to add this pic I searched for "Prime" and "Zero" and it obviously returned nothing. So I've had to try several combinations, such as "Prime" and "Bike", until I've finally managed to find it with "Batman" and "Motorcycle". And I don't want to keep scrolling down in a particular section until I find the thread. And yes, I know you can narrow a search to the Prime 1 section, I just always run a general search by maker and product. That's usually enough to find it, so why change it?

Again, I disagree - I never ever browse a single forum section - I always click on "New posts" so I see... everything that's new. Therefore, the name of the company is very useful to me to see what's what at a glance.
As for people using "Sideshow" for their threads, they actually do it - not "Collectibles", mind you. It just so happens that "Premium Format" or "Maquette" are usually enough to identify the product - such a thing can't be said of Prime 1.

If you are clicking on “new posts” it says the section on the right side of the screen.
