Seems NECA is making a 1/4 scale Batman figure for Arkham Knight too (looks pretty good for a figure, but I still do not like figures personally):

Incredible, definitely will be getting that. Just put down my deposit for the Prime 1 version:

Yeah posted that one earlier... incredibly expensive but I am sure it will be amazing. Way out of my budget, I bought the DC one... hopefully it will be decent enough.

They are making a Batmobile too.

Yet its pricey, but for the size (37 inches) its actually considered cheap for something that big with that much detail (in the realm of larger statues). Check out the prices of Sideshow Legendary scale and you will see what I mean. Will work out to be $1500 AUD including shipping.

If you think that's pricey, wait till the price on this comes out:

1/2 scale Dark Knight Joker.

Batman above (while massive) is only 1/3 scale.

Trust me I know (I drool over statues like that all the time)... I was just saying it was out of my range for any statue really.

Just opened the Batman Arkham Knight DC Statue (unboxing will go up in about 6 days or so)... it is actually REALLY nice for $100. It is porcelain so it feels really good and high quality (plastic always feel cheap to me no matter how nice it is sculpted).

I don't fail to understand, it was available for order long after release at Sideshow which I don't deem a quick sellout and certainly doesn't sell for what you suggested. Alot of people initially didn't like the paint on Arthas or the fault with the cape and the fact it's 1/5 scale. Diablo also took a long time to sell, even the nightmare edition with an ES of 200. Anyway back to batman.

Except you do! You said it not 2 posts ago:

The production run was 3000, it sold out VERY quickly as most sold were preorders and the delayed production batches are the reason why it appeared he was on low quantity for a long time.

The paint and cape issues were complained about by a tiny, tiny minority. Certainly not on the level you are suggesting. Why else would it appreciate more than 100% in value?

Diablo took a long time to sell because its sculpt is nowhere near as epic as Arthas (or detailed). Arthas is almost double the weight due to all the detail and extra polystone, not to mention it is longer and wider than Diablo. The two are not comparable (other than height). Arthas is a grail, Diablo is not.

That said, Batman by Prime 1 is almost a guaranteed grail this point in time. Even the exclusive batarang hand is not mandatory as the grapple gun or closed fists look better IMO.

Were you around before Arthas? Being able to order a year after release is not a quick sellout. The price you've suggested in U.S. Dollars no less, is laughable. Lets take it to the statue thread if you wish to discuss further?

How do you figure half sold before release when the edition size wasn't announced until months after it went up for preorder?

It definitely is when there are 3000 of them. How is it laughable when I just linked you a used one that went for 870USD?

I will PM you.
