Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

Just got mine and opened him right away. He's perfect. I was a little worried by the initial pics, the pits, skin tone, etc... but this is a homerun! He looks so much better in person, and he is MASSIVE.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

I only have two statues now since I started this summer, the hulk maquette and Wolf predator 1/5. I am really happy with both and feel very happy with the service and shipping I have received. the hulk eyebrows were subpar, but easily remedied and not a big deal, definitely not enough to make a fuss about. The arms on this look absolutely ludicrous... TO ME. The right arm is so ridiculous, and I've noticed very few pictures showing it clearly, maybe on purpose. You can see from some pictures that the attachment point for the seem is halfway down the ribcage, which would take a good 6" off a fullsize arm. I would not be happy with it like this, personally I think it is far beyond "off", to me it is as bad as one ear being half as long as the other, completely unacceptable.

But, and this is what the problem is, I don't have any issue whatsoever with people who don't have a problem with it, it's just my opinion. Some people had a big issue with eggshell hulk, it didn't bother me at all. The important thing is to let people have an opinion, but don't judge if it is different than your own. I would return/cancel batman EX and wait to see if they improved on later batches.

I have superman EX po'd and as much as it would kill me, I couldn't keep something like this, especially the right arm.
 
Re: Sideshow Batman PF?

I think my Bat is gonna get delivered a day early and I am not gonna e able to pick it up til the day after.

Oh sweet irony.

The latest pics are looking the beastingest.
 
Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

just watched the unboxing by francois and it didn't look as bad, looked pretty cool actually. Would really like to see some of the right arm.
 
Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

Unfortunately, too many people are accepting this statue for what it is. The food doesn't taste good and we either have to swallow it, or give are portion to some hungy devil that will eat anything they feed him.

The "food doesn't taste good" to you.

I'm not a fan of the seams, and they've made me a little apprehensive about pulling the trigger. That said, those who don't like the piece have to stop projecting their view onto everyone else, thereby assuming that anyone who does in fact like it is just deluding themselves into accepting a sub-par product. That's not how this works. All this stuff is subjective, and even when there's a clear flaw to point out, the degree to which that flaw impacts the piece is also subjective.
 
Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

Delivery Tuesday for me and I'm praying they've included the 2014 Sideshow calendar!!:pray: my sister sarcastically bought me the Justin Beiber calendar for Christmas cos I hate him with a passion...sad thing is I've actually been using it cos I'm terrible with my dates so I need that calendar Sideshow!! :lol :lol

Really glad that the majority of the feedback is mainly positive after a shaky few days with those dodgy first pics! Congrats to everyone picking this up be it the EX or Reg...it really does look killer! :rock

Although i think it looks great The biggest issue i have is how sideshow changed how the left arm joins the body just below the left chest compared to the prototype and the version at SDCC. Unfortunately he looks slightly deformed although the recent pics look better than the initial day 1 in hand pics. Mine arrives on Tuesday and will keep it but it could so easily been perfect.

These statues are based on comic book art. Proportions are funny sometimes. I can understand the accuracy police complaining about movie Batman and Superman PFs when those come out. Comic statues have a certain amount of leeway hence Sideshow has excelled when doing comics version when compared to any movie version.

Let's take a look at some arms by the legendary Jim Lee...

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

All these awesome pics and displays are making me impatient...
 
Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

The underarm sagging on madxcollector's PF Batman isn't as bad as a lot i've seen.

It looks good from the video.

 
Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

This has quickly become my favorite collectible. It's making me want to order the Supes PF and the upcoming WW PF now too, even thought I don't even have the room to display em all. :lol
 
Re: Sideshow Batman PF?

Happy with the last pictures. Sorry for my last comment. I'm happy now. Mine arrive this tuesday. I'll take a picture next to another figure that just came to me ;)
