Not true at all. The attention to detail is much higher on NECA as compared to the statue you linked. The level of accuracy of NECA would also be higher. All important factors when deciding on a statue vs figure. Also the NECA figure would be a similar price. This is coming from someone who collects both statues and figures. The beauty of the NECA figures is you get superior detail and the ability to pose it anyway you want.

The only thing we have to go by is Prime 1's previous statues and the typical Japanese attention to detail and quality far outweighs anything that Sideshow has produced in my personal opinion. I believe the Batman is incredibly good value for money even considering I am paying an extra $200 USD to get it to Australia.

I have bought three Sideshow pieces designed in America and made in China and all three had severe design and QA issues. That's a 100% defective rate and meant I returned them all (except one, Arthas, which I got a massive discount for). That is part of the reason why I am so happy the Prime 1 is not an American Sideshow made piece but a Japanese one.

Please re-read my post. I said to me it is not comparable as one is a statue and one is an action figure. Sorry you disagree with my opinion but you cannot say "Not true at all." when it is an opinion like this one, it just does not make sense in this case. It seems you are doing what people tend to do and adding words to my post. I never said that they are not comparable in detail, all I said was one is a statue and one is a action figure... I do no personally categorize them nor compare them as the same.

Please in the future take my post at face value and do not add unsaid things to it... it is very frustrating.


I am happy for you that you think you are getting a really great value for the Prime 1 statue. I have no opinion on that one way or the other as I do not know much about $1,000 retail statues. But if you are happy with it then there is not need to try and justify it to anyone else (and in essence yourself)... if you are happy then that is awesome.

I don't agree that they are not comparable. Just because you do, does not make you right or me wrong. Forums are for opinions, that's what makes them interesting

(your still doing it )

I did not say you were wrong or that I was right. Again your adding things to my posts. I said it was my opinion... you are the one who said I was wrong (not that I really care but I was just trying to say you somehow took meanings from my post that did not exist).

Yes they are for opinions and I agree that is a great thing, I was just saying I personally do not compare them. I have no issue with you comparing them, I personally just do not as action figures to me are not the same as statues.

Yes they are, I was just saying I personally do not compare them... to which you said I was wrong.

Me saying you are wrong is my opinion. You don't have to agree with it! Figures are simply statues with the ability to change poses. Aka action figures or whatever else you want to call them. In some cases statues can have more detail than a figure, in some cases figures can (i.e. the NECA vs your DC Comics one), the major difference being the materials used.

Nvm dwade... you are not getting what I am saying. It is a bit ironic as your last post is saying what I have been saying but I was the one who was saying we both could have an opinion and it does not mean either of us are right or wrong and you are the one saying "Your opinion is wrong and that is my opinion.".

But really, you win I cannot continue.

Just curious who is (or was since it is probably pre sold out already) selling the exclusive version with the extra hand holding batarang?

Sideshow but it is sold out (they were still accepting people for a waiting list though).

Thanks Flatout... I wonder if you join waitlist for exclusive whether there is a way to still reserve a regular edition at the same time so assuming I don't get lucky on the waitlist, I don't miss out on the regular and assuming I do get lucky then I am not committed to buy two for which I would need a second mortgage on my house.

Jump on the waitlist and order the regular, if the waitlist converts they will transfer the deposit from the regular order to the exclusive.
