Japanese elements with Batman. Definitely getting it. Looks amazing!

 

[dan350zr]

Anyone who wants something unique in their collections this would be the statue line to get....

 

[izeroi]

Looks amazing! Too bad XM is doing it. I won't have a chance to get it and refuse to pay 1500-2k for it once it hits ebay.

 

[JAWS]

I think Xm has made some nice stuff... This and Catwoman look like a complete waste to me... Don't like them at all... But congrats to those who do like it. I am sure it will look cool once they are made.

I think you must see it from another view. It´s not a really waste.

The license for comic, movie and game are gone for the moment. But WB/DC told XM they can have the license
for something new. Now XM can show direct to WB/DC how they work. Just for example if the biggest company
in your job has no job for you but says if you impress us we will see, you dont take the chance?

And like you said before, if you like it or not the statue line will look amazing after finished.

Looking forward to see more. But I don't think it fits my taste too well.

 

[Joe Prince]

I like this! Too bad its out of my price range

 

[SDguy]

I like it... Batman, depending on your source material, lends himself well, or really, really well, to the samurai look. The other characters, well, that remains to be seen.

Just a waste to me... I would have no interest in that line... I guess it came across too negative.

DAng! Can't even get excited about this because we can't buy XM in the states. Why even post it.

 

[Gartogg]

I think it looks like it will be an amazing statue

 

[JAWS]

I think one of the reasons I think this seems like a "waste" is that this suit reminds me of the Batman Arkham knight costume... And Prime 1 already nailed.

Base looks nice...

 

[Mr. Green]

If Mr. Green got money to burn and some space, he'll get this line for sure. Too bad.

 

[WWEJedi]

This looks like a different take on Arkham Bats to me. I like this one. Take out the swords and just have the open palm look and this will look really good. Looking forward to a prototype.

 

[Niltusk]

Not real up on this company, but is this statue going to be available in the US or is this like their Marvel releases that you gotta know someone basically to get one?

I don't follow this company, but can anyone fill me in on this?

 

[gogul1]

Amazing design! Love me some alt batman costumes. The play arts kai variant was a sort of cyberpunk samurai style too and it was the figure that kicked off my addiction to figures collecting once again.
Be a shame if they can't produce this at a more reasonable rate but then that's the kind of business model they have and it seems to work so far. I'll look forward to seeing this on youtube some time in the future if it's ever made.

Yes. The sculpt, base etc seem to be there already.

XM is in Singapore and they basically ship from there to other places in Asia, and have retailers out there who used to ship to North America and other places that were basically "out of their zone" in terms of license agreements. The really short version is that Marvel contacted them, reminded them about their limits, and XM made sure their retailers would no longer sell to those in North America -- which they were pretty much all doing.

So now, unless you have a contact of sorts in Singapore, or over in that direction -- or know someone who does -- you pretty much can't get XM statues over here anymore. I mean, they'll make it over here one way or another, but most times it's with an escalated cost of a few hundred US, at the very least. Again, that's the quick and dirty version, but a basic summary nonetheless.
