I think the likeness on the 1:3 scale is pretty perfect. This one is even better.

It is surely for the die-hard super fans of Keaton's Batman.

Unless it's some sort of creature character, I totally agree.

Why does someone who does not collect 1/2 always feel the need to post this same thing in every 1/2 thread? They don't look anything like a kid. I have NEVER looked at any 1/2 and thought that.

I was always on the fence with half scale, until I got the half scale Captain America from Queen Studios. Now its more cost than space that's prohibitive.

1/2 scales aren’t all that expensive. There are many 1/3 scales which are the same price, if not even more expensive.

Relative to other scales, 1/2 scales have increased the least in price out of all the scales over the past 10 years. If they had, they should be hitting $3,000 to $3,500 for your standard 1/2 scale with no interchangeable options.


For me it’s space that’s always the issue. Well unless we’re talking about upgrading the house of course, which will lead to more available space.

Yup.

Well I could understand it to a certain extent when the only 1/2 scales were of Darth Vader and Boba Fett. But once characters without helmets the size of oversized buckets came out, I think that point became quite dated. But here we are still reading about it.

If that’s what you see, you’ve got major issues and you’re creepy AF.

Likely due to the subject of this thread being in that very dated static pose. I know that's what triggered the thought for me.

Sure, if it?s a character like Darth Vader with the giant helmet, all that overflowing fabric, and with the odd looking proportions than maybe.

But if it?s a tight superhero costume, with proper adult proportions than no. Especially when there?s an unmasked headsculpt.

It's not an argument, it's just an opinion. 1/2 scale hits that weird uncanny valley for me.

How do you know what I collect? Also, when was the last time I even commented about a 1/2 scale statue. I don't know you. Quit stalking me.

Saying that something approximately the size of a toddler, looks like a toddler, is creepy to you? What the ---- are YOU talking about. Calling me creepy as ----? Get the ---- outta here.
