XM Studios Batman - KNIGHT of the RISING SUN 1/4 Premium Statue

[JAWS]

If I were to get this the only portrait I would use is the Regular Batman Cowl. Having said that something about it looks slightly off. Its too shiny as some have pointed out. It also seems a bit too big. I would think it might be the angle but it looks weird in the other photos also. Perhaps the cape will help even that out. It's OK but none of the heads are as good as that body sculpt and suit turned out. IMO anyways. I am sure it will look great in hand and those who like it will love it when they get it. But I went from... Hmmmm I might have to see if I can track on of these down, to, I will just stick to my P1 Batman Noel piece.

I think the white eyes might not be finished yet or it's just the camera... They look too white or something.

I used this photo just to see the head not attached to the body and see if that helped take away what I thought made it look a bit "out of place"

It still looks off in some way. It has that XM portrait thing going on that always bugs me about most of their pieces. I am sure a cape will help bring this to life though. Overall it still looks like a winner.

Maybe with the cape it will look like it fits/come together better

Yeah I was thinking if the cape is the same color as the cowl then it will help tie everything together...

I like this one. And the Bruce Wayne profile.

This is really a masterful piece! I'm definitely leaning on getting this even if I did comment that the cowl could be a tad more matte.

I didn't even know that others have commented about it being shiny. Maybe XM will make an adjustment.

The chin guard is definitely better and represents a current comic cowl (minus fangs of course).

My dilemma... I have a 1/4 commissioned Arkham Bats coming which we all know is the same price as this. So to have two "similar" suits for $1800 requires some pondering.

So, whats the consensus on price before shipping... $830 or 1050 SGD (590-745 USD)?

He's a little too bronze though, expected a little more black.

That's what I like best about it.

It would be a privilege to own this piece

This looks great to me, too.

Only one thing ...and I'm not quite sure ...is it possible the cowl is a bit too shiny? Would it look better if it was a tad more matte?

You may be right. I think it would look better if the color was the same as the bat emblem. At the same time, maybe it is just the lighting from the studio making it look shinier than it really is.

This looks like the ultimate Batman to own for me. Has me rethinking the entire nature of my collection and how I chose pieces

Each time I see this, the details on customs just wow me.

[laudel7]

Awesome

 

[El Mule]

Looks spot on to me, included the skin paint. Not dark at all, ironic that a ton of people talked themselves into accepting the ridicolous tan on the Batman PF and now comment on this being tok dark.

 

[Grumpy Bear]

This so and i love it!

2016 and already serious SOTY contender! Craziness. The mags of the DC line.

 

[AC_808]

Such an improvement just by making the cowl more matte! Kudos, XM!

I NEED to see this with the cape on
