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.

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.
