if anyone has one hit me up i might take it off your hands if the price is right.
yup received it for Christmas. got it off amazon. seller said it was new. yeah well it wasn't. sent it straight back..lol
the wire for the baterang had a bunch of missing paint. the bottom of the base had a bunch of chips along the bottom. and Crocks front teeth looked like they busted off and were glues back on.
and i saw the seam line Kdawg was talking about on bats shoulder where it meets crocks hand.
pretty sloppy production piece.
oh well got my money back. congrats to all that received a good one. but after having it in hand. im not going to try and get another one.

As far as DC collectibles are concerned, i think their two masterpieces in the Batman line is this Diorama and the Call to arms, which is one of my favorite in my collection, overall

Very nice pics, thanks for sharing
You would think so, but no, the break point is Batman's left arm. DC Direct didn't cushion that part of the statue, they just put the whole statue in the styrofoam. So, if the box is dropped, then that's the part of the statue that takes the brunt of the force. It's kind of funny because Batman's left arm is being held by Killer Croc and it breaks easily.

Hey Guys, just thought I would share this re-paint of the Batman/Killer Croc Statue I did.

One of my good friends who's also a client of mine asked me to re-paint this for his son for X-Mas.

I got a text Christmas Day from his son saying thank you and that he absolutely loved it!

Thanks for checkin it out!

Al

Just received mine from BBTS today and it arrived undamaged. I'm lovin it!

Opened it up with Batman face down and it came out of the styro insert easily.

Missed out on the first one so I am happy for this release as I always thought it was a superior dio!

I'll do a thorough once over and post pics later as it is back in the box until all the renovations in the house are done. I have all my collectibles covered in plastic or reboxed! There is just too much @#$%!# dust!
