Very true. I'm all for classic interpretations of DC characters. Even if that means ignoring the current exaggerated sizes of some of those characters (like Croc, Darkseid, and Bane). Many younger comic readers want a bigger Croc, Darkseid, and Bane PF. As a old school comic fan, I'm very happy with the size SSC gave us on those PFs.

I get much more upset when SSC takes massive artistic liberties with a character (think Death Stroker). I have no issues when they portray them in their classic (sometimes smaller) sizes.

Everyone complaining about Bane's size didn't see the statue in person.

And remember Batman is a ridiculously huge statue, slightly bigger than 1/4 scale....

LOL! You'll have to ask SSC. They came up with the name.

I still don't get the complaint. Bane does tower over Batman in that comparison pic. If they were both standing on the same level straight up he would be way bigger.
Trust me I saw this thing in person and it's big. I don't think anyone will be disappointed with the size.

People seem to have a hard time differentiating between height and size/mass.

Agree 100%. Look at the XM Batman Samurai for example, height wise it's 1/4 scale but it's a tiny petite batman in terms of size/mass
