Unfortunately, you don't.

Well not directly but how are people from the US picking these up?

Your best bet is to find yourself a trusted middleman that live in Singapore.

Is he available for pre-order somewhere still? He (along with others) does come with a ton of switch-outs, which seem to justify the pricing of these XM statues. I really like the red symbol switch out, reminds me a lot of Beyond. He looks good from all angles with the one leg up pose, unlike some Sideshow statues. Is this their only DC or Batman statue, or are they planning on making more variations outside the "feudal Japan/samurai" line?

 

[jpuli28]

Sold Out. Yes and yes. Batman family in the works. Catwoman is next, there is thread on her. All will be Japanese lineage.

I started really wanting this as my only batman statue. Found a friend who's gonna give me his preorder and man I can't wait for him and wolverine together.

Shipping end of December

Batman first batch is estimated to ship end Q4 this year (before Christmas!) Lips color wise, so far we haven't really received many comments on lightening his lips when people viewed him in person. We've shown him quite a fair bit at Beijing Comic Con as well as Korea's Toy event - and the general consensus was he looks good to go to production. I'm not saying your concerns are 'wrong' but often this is subjective and since it isn't practical for us to run off and make a change everytime someone points out their opinions, we need to rely on a reasonable number of negative feedback to warrant a change. There might still be time for our factory production to make changes so if the lips color is dark for many people, I would like the folks to voice it out, maybe create a poll, create enough hype which is I can use as a case (otherwise I'd be locked out of Seng's room - I've been known to bicker with him for long hours over customers' feedback vs what we can change).

Oh good, my statue preorders had an open slot for December. That'll make a great Christmas present to myself!

I wonder what he means by "first batch to ship end Q4"? How many of the 999 ES are in that batch? Does that mean that some people won't get their statue until 2017?

1500+ my guess

According to XM, but who knows by then.

 

[jpuli28]

Sounds that way, but i dont know for sure.

Yes, pretty much all XM pieces come in batches. Usually batches are produced in portions of 200-300 units I think. This way it's easier for them, they make a batch and while they inspect the first one, the second gets produced, then inspected while the third is produced and so on.
Also, if this is expected for December, 100% guaranteed that only a handful of people will get it on December. Gotta factor in holidays and delays that will surely happen, then Chinese New Year on February. I'd expect this release to spread out from December to March, more or less.

According to XM, but who knows by then.

Sandman arrived much earlier than expected, I mean, it's shipping right now. Maybe the lower ES
