It's again raised with this prototype. I hope they can keep it that way with the production release.
The utility belt looks really cool and matches that era just fine, but the buckle should be painted in a way to indicate that it's made of metal and not rubber-looking like the rest of the belt. I might get this if it looks this way when it comes out.
If this comes with an exclusive item, I'm sure it'll be the same Batarang EX, or hopefully a different tool of the trade, or even a different head sculpt.

I agree with all your pros, especially your take on the belt. This is the utility belt I grew up reading. Taken as a stand-alone statue, this would be a terrific display. However...

Definitely. A new sculpt would've been great. At least Catwoman got her pose tweaked and a fully sculpted approach. My biggest issue with the original is how badly he dwarfs Superman - and just about everyone else. And I doubt this will be any different. Here's hoping SS does an Arkham Asylum statue that can be put in my Justice League line-up.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Why recycle when you can just make another 7500.

This looks cool. My plan will be to display one with the Justice League and the other to go with the Batman family.
Now have to wait for the variants.

Looks neat, but if the e.s. is high, such as 2000+, I'm going to pass. If low, buy. I already have the first Batman so I am being picky on this one.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

I wish variants were released at the same time like they did Hulk. I don't want both and I'm thinking I like this one more. Such a pain to sell such a huge piece and box.
