The more I think about it though i just wonder how / why Finch decided to not include him. Maybe he just doesn't like him as a character which is fair enough.

This thing has potential breakages written all over it. Fingers crossed for all getting it that XM's packaging and QC is going to be up to the job.

Its constructed of a lot of individual pieces...so I don't have any concerns really about breakage. At least...I hope not.

loric do you (or anyone else) have an idea of the dimensions?

Croc's tail was in the base but I think that was removed. Didn't make sense I guess and it was hard to tell what it was if not told what it was. With something like this...its hard to omit some characters. Ra's I totally forgot about him. Killer Croc I didn't but I am glad to see someone new like Man-Bat who I have never seen in statue form before.

Im tired of that heffer!!

No I don't think so. Right now you have to eyeball it. If I was to guess...I would say its about the height of Optimus Prime holding his gun up in the air...and about 18" - 22" in depth. Optimus Prime is bigger depth at 24". That's about best I can come up with for now.

Isnt that Optimus Prime like 40+” with the gun in the air? This is really that tall?

If so, I’m really awful at eyeballing the dimensions lol. That would put this as tall as the P1 Superman Hush statue.

This is one hell of a beautiful piece. It's statue art, plain and simple. Bold, unique, and a show stopper. We all know I'm partial to the lady statues, but if I had the resources I would buy this just for how amazing it is.

Catwoman looks wonderful and I want an entire statue with that sleek, slinky costume. Harley is well done, reminds me of the way she looks in the Alex Ross Joker/Harley cover, just turned towards Batman. Ivy looks pretty from what there is of her. Add in that you have Clayface (wow), Scarecrow (again, wow), Two Face, and Freeze -- this piece is firing on all cylinders with a mix of routine and unique Rogues. When this is painted up, the colors are going to look amazing.

Kudos XM. Damn fine Kudos. Can't wait to see how this progresses. I hope the XM boys give Finch one

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Yeah they have had the best packaging hands down but.......that said, in the last year I've had a few XM statues where there have been QC issues that have clearly just been let go or where the packaging should probably have been engineered differently. I had one part that looked like it had been glued back together and put in the box. I've had parts that have arrived snapped where it looked like they could've composed the piece or the packaging differently to avoid such issues (I'm talking about the power packs on Weapon X and Vaders cloak here). Oh and I've had some pieces arrive with damage and had replacements provided where the replacement part is actually different in structure / orientation such that it didn't fit in the original packaging (how you could send out a replacement part without checking that it actually fits into the original packaging / box is beyond me, but anyway). So my confidence in XM's packaging / QC is not anywhere near as high as it used to be. I would hope I'm in the minority on this though but a lot of the time issues like these don't get mentioned.

Respectfully agree with all those points. I really like Man-Bat personally. He's a far more interesting character than someone like Bane (for me personally). And yep, I'd 100% replace Harley with Riddler.
