Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *My movie Iron Man LSF collection...as it stands*

Hey guys, back once again with another update and this time its for the long awaited Batman Premium Format Exclusive So to go back a few months, my opinions of this piece had always yo-yo'd from liking it then to not liking it due to all the delays and all the changes that Sideshow had made to the statue from what we originally pre ordered, most notably, the decision to change the embossed bat logo on his chest to a more flatter, dull printed on version plus the position of where the logo was placed on his chest had also been altered so you can imagine a lot of us who had pre ordered this were very frustrated by all these factors. However, speaking personally, I almost came close to cancelling my order several times but wise words from Spidey976, who advised me to wait a little longer and see it with my own eyes before making a big decision like cancelling...well thanks to him because the statue turned out to be an absolute winner!!!

I'll go as far as saying hat this PF is without doubt the best PF that I have purchased in the whole of 2013!!! Its a mammoth of a statue and the detailing (from the beautifully sculpted cape to the articulate base design) makes this truly a work of art! I have to say, as a visual piece its up there with the comic Thor PF and everyone knows that I rate that very highly in my collection. Its just a piece that can be displayed on its own or amongst other DC characters such as the upcoming Superman PF The material of Batmans suit is also just stunning...the colour, texture...just perfect! The two headsculpts are also superbly sculpted. The Exclusive piece for this statue is the extra hand with Batarang and for me, not to dishearten those who have ordered the Regular version, but the batarang just fits in so well with this pose.

One of the other issues upon those who received their statue over the past week was a complaint of 'saggy armpits' this was wear the costume seemed to not exactly fit perfectly around the armpit section of the statue creating quite a bizarre look as shown in the pic below....however, with a bit of tweaking using some grey coloured thread and some steady hands, I was able to eliminate the problem within a minute so it really is a simple fix that anyone can do. Infact, when I posted some pictures on facebook last night, it created quite a frenzy as everyone wanted to know how to achieve this fix...so I was kindly approached by Francois (best known as madxcollector for his very cool YouTube statue reviews) and he has decided to include this technique in one of his upcoming videos so that those of you who are wanting to create a similar look to the one that I have achieved with mine, will be able to have the chance to do so

So to sum up this great statue, if you have a chance to purchase an exclusive or a regular at some point then I would highly recommend it...Its certainly one of my favourites in my collection and definitely is one of the best PF's that I have purchased period...its that good! Sideshow have nailed their first attempt at a classic comic Batman and I've no doubts that this one will eventually turn out to be a grail!

Here are some pics guys!

Congrats RB he looks AMAZING!!!! Honestly, I am so glad that you are happy... I know that I had my doubts when the first few horrid pics came out and I imagined you and JAWS chasing me down the road with pitch forks...lol. Your fix looks awesome, and I may even try it myself if I ever am able to track this bad boy down.... It will be awhile, but I am hopeful. Again, AMAZING PICS and piece... Congrats.

P.S. that is TWICE I have talked you back off the collecting ledge, and twice I have been right.... "don't doubt the Spidey" should be in your sig....lol

Congrats on the Batman acquisition. I think he looks great too, but agree that his costume needs to be tighter around his armpits. Thanks for the guide on how to correct it. I cannot wait to get mine later this month.

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *UPDATE* One of the best PF's - the BATMAN PF EX

Batman looks awesome congrats I like how the armpit issue was sorted so easily

Thanks Ant...yea it was a real easy mod bro no less than 30 seconds to be exact...although tieing a knot on a thread isn't as easy as it looks!!

You know if the spandex is too tight Bat might get an itch!

LOL

Nice, congrats buddy!

Thanks Alex... nice one! whether the fix will aggravate the seam only time will tell...I've tried to make sure its done correctly so we'll see. Its just that i couldn't go on looking at those saggy pits! cant wait for Francois's epic tutorial

Wow that's the best paint job I have seen on a Sideshow human statue PF! Looks like Sideshow is stepping up!

I certainly hope so Steve...looking forward to the two Superman PF's and the upcoming Keaton Bats PF so we'll see how well they turn out

Congrats on the Batman acquisition. I think he looks great too, but agree that his costume needs to be tighter around his armpits. Thanks for the guide on how to correct it. I cannot wait to get mine later this month.

No worries buddy there were only two faults that i found with this statue, the first being those ugly pits (which hopefully now we've all worked out how to fix!) and worse of all...this statue didn't come with 2014 sideshow calendar! Infact, has anyone received their 2014 calenders from SSC?

Bats looks very nice. Good to hear you worked out a fix for the armpit issue, I'm sure many will be following your lead and doing that with theirs as well. Congrats on a great piece.

I'm not a Batman Comic fan, but this one looks

A real nice piece! Are you getting the Reeve's PF too?

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *UPDATE* One of the best PF's - the BATMAN PF EX

That looks menacing, that's the word for it

I never really took much interest in statues, but I'm starting to warm to the idea, so much so that I'm setting some space aside for some that catch my eye

I do like these PF pieces though, I hope they Spiderman 2 products from sideshow include a PF, that would be sweet as a nut!

Thanks Gaz its just an emmense statue all round. Visually, its just beautiful to look at...a definite museum piece, hence why I rate it as highly as the comic Thor PF. I think all those who have the itch to get into PF's from 1/6 figures usually end up getting hooked on PF's so be careful before you know it you'll be onto LSF's!!! I have heard that Sideshow will be releasing a movie Spidey pretty soon but I'm not 100% sure if its from the second movie or the first? Still, I'm definitely interested in this also

Man, its seemed like an eternity ago that we all had a laugh about how Jaws and I didn't like various parts of the statue and you were always fighting the corner for Bats!! well, give yourself a pat on the back Spidey cos you were right! AGAIN!!! Anyway, thanks for the kind words pal and I hope you do get to pick this up some point down the line. I'd sell you mine but I'm keeping it!!!

Great pics and great thoughts and review. I hope I am as happy as you are. Many of you feeling towards this piece over the past 2 years have mirred my own... I hope the trend continues

Bats looks great, congrats! and, the few little edits you made have certainly polished him up.

Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *UPDATE* One of the best PF's - the BATMAN PF EX

Hi Roberto, first big congrats to you my friend, I am happy for you I wish that statue comes perfect or as close as to the prototype and we have never need to modify it cause 400 dollars isn't a number that can be payed easily. In Turkey it is more pricey. I don't want to repeat myself so without the problems of that statue, it looks so damn good and both of the head sculpts are very successful in terms of reflecting two different moods of Batman. The cape also looks amazing and I am happy it is sculpted cause the cape of Batman adds more charisma to him more than any other super-heroes. The ex seems not a must have first but after seeing the in hand photos, I am sorry for not purchasing it As a result let's celebrate our Batman but not forget to mention the failures of this product cause Sideshow has to know if their QC problems continue, it will be affect their prestige and credibleness!!!
