What worries me is the precedent. If it succeeds at that price point then other companies will take notice. Prices for 1/4 scale creep up to $1,000+. At that point I’m out. I can’t justify the money. The manufacturers are clearly shifting their focus to the whales and away from more casual collectors.
When I first saw the pictures of this batman I said I'd buy it. I've never seen anything more beautiful. This scene is mind-blowing. But now after the announcement of the price for a 1/4 scale figurine and for me it costs over $2000 it's too much for me.
I like this statue and the story it tells. Considering shipping is included, it is the norm nowadays. In a sea of Batman statues, it stands out. And Batman is my top hero!
It's actually kind of funny because people have been buying XM quarter scales at this price and didn't bat an eye, not sure why this one seems so much in the eyes of collectors?
@@BatmanStatueCollector I have not spent that much, to get me to $1000 on one is very hard for me to consider. One reason I am considering the Justice Alex Ross line from BlitzwayXP1 is because the pricepoint feels more in line with traditional pricing of 1/4 at least the last few years.
@@BatmanStatueCollector Collectors were spending that much on XM pieces 5 to 10 years ago but to do that price point now is not going to happen. Too many negative variables with the hobby these days.
Beautiful statue, it's surprising no one else thought of doing a piece like this before, but there is no way I would spend close to $2000 with tax on a 1/4 scale. The highest I would go is $1100
Even now, for this price, you can get more from P1. Perhaps collectors will be attracted by the very low print run. I don't know. someone wrote that manufacturers are clearly switching their attention to whales and moving away from more casual collectors looks like true
That's an interesting perspective! The shifting focus in the market definitely raises questions about accessibility for casual collectors. It will be fascinating to see how this trend develops.
1/4 scale statues selling for $1000+ isn't necessarily new but it's hard to digest when it's a company I have no knowledge of so it makes me wonder what that final production piece will end up looking like
That fact this is a brand new company with no reputation & they can charge that price is stupidity. Not to mention people are getting screwed over with these companies like XM studios and hearing that there is a good chance they are going to file for bankruptcy & people still didn’t get their statues they paid for & now we have this random company out of nowhere & we just to take their word on delivering through with great product?? I say no enough is enough. I would say no one should be pre ordering unless you want to take a massive gamble/loss.
Why is everything getting crazy expensive. The other day saw a hyperion book for 1000$, leather bound 4000$ while two leather bound the way of kings cost 200$. I agree that this will set a precedent. It's a test to see will it sell for this much and if it succeeds mark my words slowly everyone will amp the price with fake reasons of better quality, premium material etc. Hope it fails spectacularly.
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing about the blood. Perhaps even showing it pooled and going down a grated manhole cover, symbolic of Bruce's downward spiral.
The bats around him create the bat symbol. Iconic. I got the Superkraft release of the Transformers amazing piece. They are some of the top in the industry coming from companies such as XM studios and Prime 1. They all got together to create a new company for premium pieces with even the addition of optional high end metals like gold and crystals with their statues. Amazing statue!! Love the free shipping they’re the first ones to ever do right out of the gate.
I am getting this amazing concept. Hits the heart! I hope I secure one, because I fear it will sell out quick. Like I told Jeff, FOMO has only got me with two pieces in my collection and it’s been awhile.
I love the concept of the statue, and 1/4 scale is perfect for me as I don't collect 1/3. But 1700, even including worldwide shipping that is a very high pricepoint for a 1/4 (I also have to account for 21% VAT due to customs fees). So I'm on the fence and will probably end up passing on this.
If the production piece looks as good as this promotion, it'll definitely be a beautiful statue. But that price is far too high. $1200 is more fair. If anyone gets this, I'll appreciate it from a distance. With Batman, everyone has their own unique preferences but the Prime 1 New 52 Batman captured nearly everything I wanted in a Batman Statue. I also have the Sideshow Keaton Batman (This 46 year old kid has nothing but fantastic memories of that movie)
It's an extraordinary piece, there's no question. statues, in general, are becoming ridiculously overpriced, with this being no exception. but I'm wavering on this one. Because it is really exceptional piece that beautifully and succinctly tells the origin story. And shipping is free. Is it worth it? It kinda is. But that price point will hurt sales, no question. And I think someone's said that they're planning the trinity (?) or at least Superman. So that's a big bite out of people's pockets at a time when the next administration is threatening a tariff war with virtually every non-European country, so prices are about to go sky high on many things. Their timing is highly unfortunate. I hope you can get it Chris, it'd be nice to see it in a review at least. Surely they'll need someone to review it, because it's not going to sell right out.
Yeah it's an absolute no, too bad because for a 990$ it was an instant PO for me. 1700+ for a 1/4 scale, in dollars, without shipping (and taxes in Europe + exchange rate) it's completely out of this world and it won't sustain its value, there is just no way
I do think it’s too high, there are a lot of 1/4 for under a thousand. I got both He-Man and Skeletor on the cats for under a thousand as well as Sideshow’s Batman vs Joker. I also think another statue company will come out with something similar for less. Not a fan of Batman’s Dracula pose
Man, this holiday shipping waiting is annoying. I have very little patience on thing i really want😂😂😂. Yea, i dont think ive heard of them. Ive actually seen this statue pop up somewhere (cant remember), but these companies have lost sight on these quarter scale prices. They acting like they are dropping 1/3 or hyper realistic looking statue. Now if u have multiple swap outs, then i can see the price, like qith xm samurai line. U getting 3 head and different arm set just about and u are paying from 1100-1600 depending on the statue. Thts worth it to me cause your getting your money worth. One extra head aint enough, but thts me😂😂😂 Im so happy batgirl about to be shipping. Now i need them to hit me for the batgirl painting
Beautiful piece not for me that price point is a little bit too much but I can see that they're going for the audience that are big Die Hard fans and would pay that much for a statue what is a pass for me I can enjoy it from afar but I am looking forward to getting my hands on that black girl from Sideshow haven't paid it off entirely but I'm looking forward to the unboxing
Looks cool but I’m not interested in this one. I’m not to surprised with the price. I paid 1,500 for prime 1 Goku and Vegeta 1/4 a piece. I couldn’t pass them up Lol
Honestly my first thought is it makes me feel better about my investment into the JND Catwoman 😂…That price is way outta line for what your getting imo.
Beautiful statue, def expensive. Though, let's say shipping is 120 bucks, if there price includes shipping you can look at it as $1580 plus shipping. Sounds a little better there, but still definitely expensive. Low es for a licensed piece is nice.
The Hair and the Scarf on young Bruce looks to plasticky that needs to addressed maybe mix nedia on the Scarf and the Hair could be matted so its not to shiney
Ouch on the price
I was really surprised at this price point right out of the gate.
Beautiful piece.
I usually don’t cop a lot of Batman, but I’d cop this, but that price puts me out the game for, now.

It’s a pretty big jump in price from the typical 1/4 scale, it is definitely a premium piece.

From what I can see a lot of what you have on the shelf is way over priced, so yes.
I’d much rather get the LBS which is 1/3 and has enough switch outs to make your favorite look for Batman and is $200 CHEAPER.
Already ordered

Living in germany with high import fees , this will be easy 2100 euro
Yikes so sorry to hear that

Definitely not way too expensive it won't hold its value can get it later for less.
I appreciate your perspective! It's always good to weigh the value against the price before making a purchase.
I collect very little but for 1/4 scale with this much detail in it…worth it 👍
It’s higher than prime 1 1/4 that is a well known company. Price seems too high in my opinion
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing about the blood. Perhaps even showing it pooled and going down a grated manhole cover, symbolic of Bruce's downward spiral.
I think there is some doing just that on the base. Might just be hard to see with the darker imagery.
@BatmanStatueCollector Ah, ok!

$2,700 In Australia plus international shipping .Beautiful ,but too expensive for me 😭😭
Love the statue. Hate the price. However, I did buy the Prime 1 Batman vs Croc 1/4 dio, and this isn’t much more, so…
I don't fancy the eyes being all white, but do also like it even though humanlooking eyes are preferable. I want this thing.
I just canceled sideshows Batman vs joker because with shipping it’s pricey. I might get this, but will wait for them to put it up for pre.

Wish them good Luck, selling 200 of them for that Price. It looks good on the Promo-Shots, but that Price is just nuts.
This is giving me Diamond Select vibes. Pass.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your perspective, even if it’s a pass this time.

I have both the sideshow batgirl and prime 1 Batman 89/ Bruce Wayne pre ordered and I haven’t gotten a shipping update for the Batman 89
Based on the images in the video, the piece looks amazing! ^_^
Price seems high. There is a lot going on.
Price is ridiculous! Would never pay that much and honestly detail is lacking for that price point. Rather buy a prime 1 /3 any day

Well if it sells - it will create a new precedent to push prices up.

I like the concept. I hate the price. Also, that belt looks like there is a gap in it. For that much money it better be perfect.
I think its an awsome statue but not 1700 awsome lol I cant even buy a 1 10th right now so congrats to everyone gets this one
I will be interested to see how this one sells.
Beautiful piece not for me that price point is a little bit too much but I can see that they're going for the audience that are big Die Hard fans and would pay that much for a statue what is a pass for me I can enjoy it from afar but I am looking forward to getting my hands on that black girl from Sideshow haven't paid it off entirely but I'm looking forward to the unboxing
Where would you put it on the back shelve? Cool statue not a fan of the bats and not paying $1,700 lol
Most likely it would go between the lifesize busts. At this point I think I may cancel the Batman vs Joker as I dont really have a space for it.
@ Ah man was hoping to finally be part of a double unboxing lol. But that makes since I’m struggling mapping space for upcoming statues & busts
If im paying this much for statues I might as well just become Batman.
Nice but out of my budget and limited space
Looks cool but I’m not interested in this one. I’m not to surprised with the price. I paid 1,500 for prime 1 Goku and Vegeta 1/4 a piece. I couldn’t pass them up Lol

$1700 wtf😮😮
It looks amazing but it's a pass from me.
Honestly, for me a good price for a 1:4 scale is up to 1200
I'm willing to pay a higher price just for 1:3
1200 would have been a bit more understandable I think .
Where do we go to pre order?

Thank you for your insightful comment! I completely agree that using mixed media could really elevate the design. Your perspective is valuable!
You have to have your head examined. If you even want this piece for that much money that's ridiculous
