Though the base is a mess, (not in design, but rather in finish/execution), I actually like the torn/tattered bats "cape' element. Here's why.

When you see the "cape" in hand, you quickly realize that it's not the whole of Bats cape, but merely a torn-off piece/sliver, (unless Bats is actually hobbit or dwarf sized). So, if we take it as is, it just helps reinforce the possible narrative of a Bats narrowly escaping Freeze, & living to fight another day.

If the tubing was clear, i wonder if the figure would be too black/gray/silver. It might need that color in the tubing to make it pop.

I'm not sure clear would be the answer, but certainly getting closer to the original, more muted tone of the render would obviously work.

And I have nothing against "pop", but the real "pop" element for this sculpt is the exquisite head/portrait, & all other design elements should enhance & support that focus, rather than senselessly compete with it.

Consider the following. In the last couple of weeks i received 3 statues, Thanos, Freeze, & Thor breaker, in that order. To make a long story short, when all 3 were displayed sides by side, the one element that stood out by far from the 3 was that loud, cheap looking Freeze tubing! I was stunned, and still am, on how a costume design element can actually draw more "attention" than a Thanos sitting on a "Cosmic Throne", or a Thor with a "Flaming Severed Head" at his feet!

Is that type of "pop" warranted, or deserved? Not even close.

I think the blue parts just need a bit more frosting effect to tone it down a little, I'd give it a go myself if I owned it

When I was a kid in the 70's, I would leave my Star Wars action figures out in water overnight in winter. Always popped the heads off. lol Hopefully they've taken some kind of precaution on the PF if actually freezing one.
