They went deeper than I was expecting, so I don't blame them. They've got other stuff to work on. And once the comics stuff really starts rolling out, you have to think that will impact demand for the Arkham line. How many people will end up getting rid of the Arkham stuff for the comic stuff? My guess is, a lot of people have, or will eventually, jump ship.
I only ended up getting Deathstroke despite my original plans because of all the comic announcements (Hush, Kingdom Come).

The Arkham line is awesome and art pieces no doubt! However, the majority of collectors are not emotionally connected to these version of the characters and for the price difficult to swallow. I have my favorites and would not give these up but looking at sales and even the progress of the Prime 1 Golden Week, even as a tough pill to swallow for the few fans, a stop even a temporary one allows them to finish what they started and re-evaluate the line. I expect if there is an option for the remaining cast, you can expect smaller edition sizes and more pain on the price to justify. Maybe they will consider the MTO approach or even XM's MTO with a minimum to make much like they are doing with Thor? They have made the pieces I want so personally I am satisfied with the line. Good luck to those still searching.
This hobby is Riddled with unfinished lines and Poisonous words, but groups that huddle together like Penguins. May your Fireflies burn bright, don't go Mad in search under your Hats, and as always there will be Commissioners for those missing pieces.

Agreed.
I ended up passing on all of the Arkham video game line and I am glad I did. If I have learned anything is that the comics versions are superior most of the time for me. They have that soul and magic that other versions (including the movie versions) lack.
This is just a reminder that at this scale you better be 200% sure of what you are getting. Also be ready to accept an incomplete line not just from Sideshow but from any producer. I am hoping for Kingdom Come to get at least half the love the Arkham line received and I would call it a success.

To be honest I don’t claim to understand the “completionist” obsession - not judging. I’ve got several of the Arkham line and I’m thrilled they made so many of these amazing pieces.
Batman AK, Robin, Joker, Red Hood, Two face, Cat Woman, Flash Point, Death Stroke, Scarecrow, Miller Bats. I can’t imagine selling a single one of these pieces just because Prime 1 “didn’t finish the line”. They’re incredible character designs and IMO Prime 1 made way more of these than I expected.

P1 has done a great job with this line. I ended up getting Deathstroke and Flashpoint Batman. I’m okay with them focusing on other characters if it means I can get Shazam!, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, and maybe a comic Deathstroke.

Damn, I have AO Deathstroke and really wanted an Arkham Asylum/City Bats to pair him up with. I passed on all other 1/3 P1 Bats waiting on a AA/AC Batman. I'm just so disappointed right now.

If they ever get their butts in gear and make that Telltale Batman, I could see that fitting with Deathstroke.
