Statue Batman: Black And White Statues (2012)

[filip629]

100% Bolland, I don't know, but I guess it looks pretty close:

I actually have that issue of Legends in my house somewhere. I think that the face is just off on the statue. It just looks different from the art source to me from the pics I've seen of the statue. For me, the Jim Lee and Lee Bermejo B&W Joker statues look much better. They also nailed the art source far better IMO. This is just my POV on the subject.

Has anyone ordered from them? I checked it out, looks sketchy.

It's from china and they do not accept paypal. Western union or bank transfer are the only options available.

And the quantity available changes every time you refresh the page which questions whether it is actually available.

Can anyone vouch for this site?

Nevermind.

Got my answer here.

My apologies, I will research any future online stores before posting on here. I was just trying to help out fellow boardies.
I edited my post into a warning.

What Batman is that?

Thanks for posting this N!

Do not have the original, so will surely be going for this. Not digging the chest logo. Cant't remember where Miller drew that? Remember the artwork and the figures on which it was there.

Guess a Mazzucchelli rerelease is not far too.

The paint apps on the teeth and gums have come out pretty bad, I'd say. They show the most on the face and I guess that's why it looks off. Maybe if it was in 1/6 or 1/4 and in colour, it would have looked better. And yes, Lee and Bermejo ones are much better renditions.

the original miller is much better.

Now that you mention it, it's mainly the teeth. I think they look too small on the piece. On Bolland's art work, the Joker's teeth are much more noticeable. Too much of Joker's gums are showing on the statue.

the original miller is much better.

The ONLY difference is the bat symbol on his chest. IMO, the difference is negligible at best. They look the same in every other way.

BB&WSF I remember you saying you had this guy on PO from a canadian seller, mind if I ask from who?

True. But even though its a subtle difference, and I own the original from back in the day, I still gotta have this one lol...sucks more money

My first eBay PO, hopefully I will not get jacked

He also had Bane at $54.99 on PO at that time, but didn't go for him as it would have been too much of a gamble. However, if this transaction sails through, I might get stuff from him later on too.

You from Canada N?

to me it makes all the difference in the world. If I had to choose, no way I would pick this over the first one.

Sorry about the quality. My phone sucks.

Yea I'm in Toronto Canada. I had a feeling you bought from that guy, his prices were crazy good. I was so close to buying from him but backed out - You have to let me know if he falls through I might buy stuff from him in the near future. For now I get my stuff from superpowercollectibles.

You in Canada too?

Understood. However, I would take either of them with no hesitation. Same with the Mignola re-release. A circle around the Bat symbol is not a big difference to me. The sculpts are exactly the same. Not to mention, the oval bat symbol is a large part of the characters history. I understand that you may not like it, but some do. I can work with either interpretation. They both work for me.

So I have a question, how many of you here are completists? Even to the point of getting all re-releases? And finally, do you display both releases next to each other?

Guess that's more than just one question.

I was a completist until Aragones. I felt that was a slap in the face to Carmine Infantino, Richard Sprang, and Norm Breyfogle, all of whom deserved the B&W treatment and have yet to receive it.

Now I only get what appeals to me.
