Statue Prime 1 Studio - The Dark Knight Returns "Frank Miller"[1/3 Scale]

[Phoenixblazes]

Received mine yesterday, still marked with a noticeable flaw but yet Prime 1 still lets it out of their warehouse without fixing it. I brought it to their attention but of course they turn off the comments on my post. I've alerted Sideshow about the issue but I'm sure they will offer credit twice and then after a month they will get a replacement part. Just sucks

If that was the only 'issue' with any statue I received, it would be acceptable to me. True it's annoying, but I can say about 1 in 3 statue I receive has some sort of issue, and more often then not it's on the main body. Whenever it's very small chips etc on the base I try to 'fix' it myself. I've had to learn to live with a lot of issues from pieces that are distributed by Sideshow. I'm used to getting their usual boilerplate response/s.

dude I wouldn't send it back for that, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a replacement with worse issues. Take a black sharpie and dab the area, then rub it in with your finger. 10 sec fix and 99% unnoticeable IMO.

Yeah, I would personally do the same, and just use some marker/paint to blend it it. Especially for small 'defects' on the base.

But for some I guess it's the principle of the thing. You spend what is a lot to many people, and you expect perfection.

What a pic !

This is the only Batman statue you will ever need to own. This was the "end all, be all" incarnation of Batman for me. There was a time when I would only read Batman if it was written by two people, Frank Miller or Brian Azarello. Must have read Frank Miller's Dark Knight series about 10x since the age of 12. #86 of 800. Will definitely be putting together a review for you guys by the weekend. [emoji91]

If there is a jewel for a collection. Then this would be a Silmaril. I love this thing. 154/800

Just received # 477/800. This guy is enormous. I don't even have the space for him yet, but had to open it up and check everything. This is my first Prime 1 piece, and I'm sold. They really nailed it on this. This is a must have for any fan of the Bat!

Got mine all set up. It's a fantastic statue. It makes my Prime 1 Arkham Knight Batman look small even though they are the same scale. I guess the base being huge and the DKR Batman just being a bulkier rendition of the character is the difference. I also love the fact that the cape is sculpted. I really like when everything on a statue is sculpted.

Wow amazing pics!!

I get completely what your saying about it being a minor issue, and I will probably work to fix it myself if it's not resolved in my favor, but my thing is and I could be wrong but it's obvious that Prime 1 marked their own flaw but failed to fix it. Mistakes happen, no one is perfect, but it's still a flaw. I believe at the least that a company should answer for their mistakes and in this case Prime 1 wants me to go through their distributor, Sideshow, to resolve the issue. I'd at least like them to take notice that this happened so maybe in the future they will work to ensure that such a mistake doesn't leave their warehouse.

Yes, bad. Sideshow should refund for this. They made that cape too heavy.

Thanks for all the pix sharing, I love your guy's display rooms. #250/800 in da house. Waiting on an canvas art piece to come in that I'm gonna display by this piece before I post a picture. I'll parrot what everyone else is saying by agreeing that yes, this statue is unbelievably cool. Hands down the nicest piece I now own. What pictures don't capture is really feeling its' hulking presence while looking at it in-person.

If this statue got placed in the "Indian in the Cupboard" and came to life.....I'd actually be afraid of it.

Simply a masterpiece

^^^ I have that same FM canvas wall art, the smaller version. Looks great with your statue!

Put mine in my besta so can confirm it just fits and looks nice still as long as you dont use a glass door if anyone was wondering.

I use a glass door but had to mod the hinges so I can close it
