Premium Format SSC Batman PF

Be careful not to faint from the sheer awesomeness of this statue.

Thanks....I'll try not to faint!!! Originally had Dark Knight on order, but seeing how 'petite' it is glad I cancelled and went this route. After checking all quality, is it a good idea to put some additional felt pads on back left corner of base to keep him stable/upright?

 

[KingB]

Yes^^^ how could I forget about that.

Check to see if it's leaning first before you start adding felt pads. The only reason the earlier PFs were leaning was because of where the pads were placed. They may have changed it up with these newer batches and put the pads where they were supposed to be. Either way, be careful when you put him on the base. Hold on to him just in case the pads aren't properly mounted to the base. Adjust accordingly with a felt pad if need be and enjoy this fantastic looking PF.

Thanks guys. I hate 'handling' the mixed media...I have white felt gloves to wear.

 

[KingB]

Lol. Just Wash your hands. Gloves are overkill.

DAMN IT!!!! UPS attempted to deliver. Due to size of box I couldn't have it held at a local UPS Store. I am not attempting to have it held at distribution center so I can go pick it up this evening or tomorrow.

For sure. If you wash your hands before you handle a PF, all is good. I've never used gloves on any of my PFs and have never had a problem.

Ups attempted to deliver my package today at 1pm. Requires signature. Was going to distribution center in south Houston for Tuesday pick up. I Leave work and decide I'm gonna drive thru neighborhoods looking for ups on way to my house. Come to a light and there is a ups truck facing me at intersection. 2.5 hrs after delivery attempt. I see another ups truck driving down street. Fu... I follow first one into parking lot of a bar. He has my package!!! 1 in a million! I pass a 3rd ups truck on way home. Lol.

Thanks. I actually had cape on wrong. Almost busted the beast. Have only moved him 30 times look g for perfect position. There r too many!!

LOL! You're all good. Getting a piece is the hard part, finding out where he looks best in your collection is no problem. However, moving this beast around will definitely give you a workout.

Ah man...noticed a very very little smudge/blemish on the leather bat symbol. Almost like a tiny tear or blemish on his left side of symbol. Sent pics to Sideshow. Wonder if they will consider it significant enough to replace with a new body. I give it 50/50.

Hard to tell without seeing it ourselves. Can you post it?
