Prime 1 Studio - Batman: Akham Knight - Batman Statue

[Tripletn]

Oh man, they're not slowing down!

I LOVE Killer Croc, but he looks less musclebound and more...older and flabby in this shot, so that'll probably be an easy pass if it goes that route! Great to see some more lower tier rogues getting their statue dues; though I don't think I'll be tempted by these guys, even though I'm a fan of Freeze and R'as.

Agree. I prefer Both Ra's and Croc from Arkham City to these versions. Freeze looks like an astronaut here. Luckily they're doing an Origins version of Freeze too since I like that look.

 

[Wah]

thank god, i can say i can pass on these here. whew.

Same here. I'm basically only interested in Asylum/City character designs. Deathstroke is my only exception. Not a fan of the AK look for the characters posted in the pic. The only AK character that would draw any interest from me is Scarecrow. AK Scarecrow looks amazing.

Yeah, I'm surprised they went AK for these guys as well...very odd choice. Croc from Asylum or City is much more intimidating and muscular...looks like he's been locked by by a beer fridge from this shot. It's great that Prime 1 is going heavy on rogues though...gives fan of characters (like Deathstroke) who may not have top notch statue representations now will have that chance. But yeah, it'd likely be better had they gone with earlier games for these guys.

The focus is heavy on AK and AO with Prime at the moment. I'm really looking forward to when they start cranking out AA and AC characters. Those are the 2 games that got me all wrapped up into the Arkham world. At this point I'm kind of grateful that Prime is releasing versions of the Arkham characters I don't care for. It's making it easier to say no to some of their offerings so far. However, when they start digging into Asylum and City...it'll be challenging trying to restrain myself from POing those pieces.

What the teaser show it may be not this version only tell guys we are working on it. Which version you may check next year.
Kira mentioned today that these characters may not be from the Knight version after all. Only time will tell.

I'm still not sure I'd bite on these guys. I do love Croc, but he'd be MASSIVE...massive...that said, they'd be smarter to go with his beefed up AA or AC version over this one. And yeah, I'd be surprised if they made two versions of Freeze already, so this may just be a teaser as a whole. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

I don't think they can use the AA and AC games because Sideshow has the license.

Good thing they're using it to its fullest potential.

I dunno...it's possible! But I'm sure they don't have licenses for across the board. Prime 1 does a lot of 1:3 pieces, both because they're great at it, and I believe it allows them to do things that other companies have the usual 1:4 licenses for. It's possible though.

 

[BurningRage]

Maybe they'll make a Keaton one since it's a skin in AK.

Sideshow has the 1/4 license. Prime is releasing 1/3 Arkham pieces. They're going to be releasing characters from all the Arkham games whenever they choose to get around to it.

I just checked over at Statue Forum. On Aug 19th in the ask Prime 1 studio thread Kira stated they have the license for all 4 Arkham games. That means we have a whole lot of good stuff to look forward to in the future.

That's good to hear. Some are saying that this is too much...I mean, it's DEFINITELY a lot all being revealed; however, that's actually a good thing! We're not meant to go and buy every piece Prime 1 sells. It'd be great if we all could, but nobody expects that. They've said they're going to have LOTS of Batman statues made, from Jim Lee, to various game versions, and back to other artist renditions. So fans will probably find a Batman they love and go that route!

From there the sky is the limit. Okay, your bank account is the limit! But I mean, if you're a Deathstroke fan, BAM, best DS ever. If you're a Two-Face fan, finally you're going to get a good one! If you're a fan of the frickin' MAD HATTER...here you go! There's just pieces for everyone. You can pick and choose, and Prime 1 is showing you pretty damn far in advance what's to come so that you can plan better for it!

Sure it's somewhat overwhelming, because it ALL looks so awesome! But I'm just really happy that so many fans will get great renditions on their favourite characters...even if that's the only Prime 1 piece they buy!

 

[epitaph04]

Yeah a lot of the stuff is barely being announced. Only two preorderd are going up, and theyre being spaced out. It's not like this is all coming out in one quarter.

I hope P1 keeps churning out more stuff.

Well said Golden. Honestly it's really cool they are letting everyone know so far out what they are planning over the long run.

I've been out of the loop for a few weeks here, Have they announced Harley or Two Face?

Two-Face was just announced yesterday. We're still waiting on an official announcement for Harley.

I hope their Jim Lee one is not the new 52 suit. Definitely gonna get the Dark Knight Returns one.
