I also clearly mentioned it was a Prime 1 statue: Quote:
In person, I can only imagine how epic is must look. If you are talking about the Premium Format Sideshow statue, then I agree, it looks crap... and why I never bought it. Last edited by dwade23; 07-12-2015 at 08:45 AM. |

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight
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.

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. Quote:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sideshow-...item3aa9068650 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. Last edited by dwade23; 07-12-2015 at 09:18 AM. |

How do you figure half sold before release when the edition size wasn't announced until months after it went up for preorder? Last edited by Damnation; 07-12-2015 at 09:40 AM. Reason: Added info |

But to be honest I dislike the pose of the DC statue... I wish it was the pose of the Prime 1 statue or the pose of the LE statue. If the Prime 1 statue was smaller and lower priced I might consider getting it, but I just cannot bring myself to spend a grand on statue.

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. Last edited by dwade23; 07-12-2015 at 03:39 PM. |

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight
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.
