WOW impressive.

Curious that there aren't any shots showcasing the articulation. Unless I've missed them? Official pics are CG - an odd choice for promotion material.

They have quite a few "real" pics in the other thread. Not sure why they're using those pics, unless the one shown still wasn't 100% done.

For example. This pic:

I admit I haven't trawled through every page of that thread, but I haven't seen any pics showing any articulation at all. It looks good in a neutral pose, sure, but...

 

[Lawrence]

I guess, but it does say it has 50 points of articulation (whatever poses that translates into, I don't know ), so .....

 

[Centrocal]

still can not do Repulsor pose

eBay is the only option for this Singapore only release? Prices just went up about 25%

singapore only? Would love it if I am not getting the Hot Toys one already...but it costs $400sgd...I'll pass but I think I may look back and regret it

I dig the fact that they're having legit comic book artists working on the packaging (Jim Lee, Adi Granov, etc.); really nice touch.

My local retailer seem to think he will be able to get this in. But then we are just next to Singapore. Tempted to cancel HT M VII for this if it is the same with the prototype.

What's the quality of Play Imaginative figures? Are they on par with say Hot Toys products? That thing looks pretty legit....

Beautiful piece! The in hand shots really show it off nicely!!!

There's no IN-HANDS shots so far

What do you guys think? This or the Hot Toys version? I think this looks like a better quality version being that's it's all die cast...

So many variables/unknowns to make an informed decision. All die-cast isn't necessarily the better option with such a highly articulated figure. All that weight has implications for wear on the joints, as well as whether the arms/shoulders can maintain their position in various poses. I don't know what people have been saying about the PI's batman, but that thread would be a good place to start to get the lowdown on how well their product holds up in -hand:

I never had a problem with HT being plastic, it looks fine. It's just the little fragile flaps and moving parts that make me nervous and wished it was metal.
