Prime 1 Studio - Batman: Arkham Knight - Arkham Knight Statue

whoops, put my comment in the wrong thread.

This looks awesome

I agree with you there! I REALLY didn't want this (too much on deck, and the Knight alone without any options was just an okay character), but it looks SO good...but again, only if you have the Red Hood EX. It's like an entirely different statue option thrown in. I'm going to have to debate this one now, as it really does look great. I love the two pistols. I was really hoping for a flipped up Red Hood mask, but even still, it's pretty damn awesome.

It's SO much money that I'll have to be sure though. I mean, of course everything Prime 1 releases for this line will be "insta-buy" in most cases for the characters we want! That's where you have to make sure you don't drop $1000 if you're not 100% sure! That pistol pose looks stunning though. Initially I wanted Harley and Catwoman as well as Batman, and had Nightwing and Batgirl as more potentials (all pose/sculpt pending) but this one snuck in there. That's a lot if I do go get'm all...oh man, time to make some decisions!

But yes, this is a complete "get the EX or REALLY easy pass," statue for me if I decide to do so.

Do you think he looks out of proportion here? Like his legs are too short? Might be because his belt is so low.

PO middle of next week apparently. According to Kira on the other forum.

I can see what you're saying here, and I thought it too. I'm guessing it's partially the camera angle, or mind tricks. Kind of hard to explain, but I don't think he looks overly short in other shots, so it may just be how the guns are placed, etc...

He looks normal with the sniper rifle, so I think it's all just angles and placement of things that give it the "shorter" illusion.

Just answered your own question!

Looks fine to me. Camera angle might do a bit too.

This is one of the best looking statues I've ever seen!

True. He looks normal in person.

I'd have preferred a weaker EX! I'm really not a fan of MUST HAVE EXs because it forces you to go through a specific retailer. I would've been happier getting this guy local if I do get him, but now I'll have to go through Sideshow and pay an exchange rate, and customs and all that jazz. I bought the EX for Batman just because, but really, the Batclaw is awesome in itself, so the Batarang isn't an auto-pose.

This guy...well, this is a must-get EX if you're ordering. Unless you LOVE the Knight outfit and want to save money, then I guess that's cool. I'd never knock anyone for that. But I mean, the upside to the EX is just too big. I'd have preferred the Red Hood gear came with the regular too, and maybe had the flip up Jason Todd mask as the EX. I mean, honestly, that would make me get the EX anyway, but at least the regular wouldn't be as weak in comparison!

Plus, it's the swap out head I really wanted. So awesome.

Looks like pre-order starts in Japan beginning of next week. SSC will be the end of the week.

Thanks for the info! And he'll probably be released a month or two after Batman next year...it'll be interesting to see who comes up next on their list! I'd have to think it'll be Harley or Catwoman...possibly Batgirl as well, but I'm fairly certain it'll be a female. Hopefully they're spaced out enough release wise to make it a little easier on the wallet!

I personally would like to see Harley

Yeah, I think she'd be a smart followup to these guys, though really all of the ladies are pretty high priority for me if all goes well during the creation process! I think Harley would mix it up the best though, or Catwoman. Batgirl looks awesome in the game, but I think it'd be good to mix up the characters a bit and bring her in after the previous two mentioned!

oh no, i totally get that some of ya'll get the short end of the stick when it comes to if you wanted to get the exclusive. that is totally understandable. really sucks being overseas and buying stuff from ssc.

exactly. i as well. hopefully she's next up!

I'm about to borrow this game from a buddy so we'll see how attached I get to Knight. Honestly, I can't see myself buying this piece as of now. But I may want a complimentary piece for Bats in the future...

 

[Skulduggery76]

Any idea when this bad boy is going up for PO? Dang, this line is going to make me want to replace all my 1/4 scales with 1/3's

I'm in Canada and it's that bad right now! Our dollar is terrible, and there's customs and all that on top of it. Just blah! But man, it's ridiculous how good this line looks. Almost annoyingly so! I'd rather not be blown away by everything they reveal!

That said, I'm completely open to being blown away by Harley and Catwoman at least! I really need a good Catwoman representation, and I love how she looks in the game. I think Prime 1 may be the one who gets her right for me!
