Prime 1 Studio - Batman: Akham Knight - Batman Statue

Sideshow just offered me a $20 credit for the my problems with the damaged angry portrait. Is this what it's going to be like every time there is an issue with a Prime 1 piece ordered through Sideshow? This is very frustrating now

I think you're supposed to contact Prime 1 directly.

I just emailed them as well. Hopefully I will get better results

Yep those pics look great to me. Like you said, it looks like HT caliber but in statue form, and in my opinion, HT has some of the best facial sculpts/paint jobs in the business.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing!

Impeccable work for sure. So life-like.

This bust is worth the money, especially with buyers having the possibility to sell whichever potrait(s) they won't use.

Battle damaged is more like Catwoman just slapped him in face ... or it was a very weak battle.

Thats an insult really isnt it ?

When ordering thru sideshow, do you contact them with issues or Prime 1 directly?

Yes ... I think most of us buy the bust for the Wayne sculpt ( I did ) And it that vein it is a little expensive , but still the other sculpts are really good

For those who has the bust, does the collar piece detach like the actual statue? Just curious

The bust looks good as a stand alone piece as well. We do but you don't really need the statue ( if price and space is a factor)

I find it to be insulting for sure, I think some people tend to not pick certain issues and in those cases I believe that a percentage back is suffice, but when you have clear and convincing evidence that the item is damaged to the point where it's ruined then a replacement part should be offered.

To me they are telling me that the angry portrait itself is worth $20 and that should be sufficient enough to make amends for the damaged product.

They posted on Facebook group yesterday to email your retailer with the bust problems and not Prime 1 so I'm not sure if they'll give replacements. May have to to return it and order another one and hope for a good one.

I've noticed they give credit now that's around 10% of what the item cost.

So, which would you choose?

I don't own this statue, so my opinion ain't worth much here, but I've never liked the masked portraits for this piece. The unmasked looks pretty good, though.

Touched up the battle damaged head a little. Pretty simple, but I think makes it stand out more from the regular sculpt.

Much better. That's what the prototype looked like pretty much (except yours looks better). Having the single scratch on the "battle damaged" head makes it look more like artist error than battle damage.

To be fair, the battle damaged head has a dirty face, a long scratch on the cheek, and a couple of scratches on the cowl. It's not the prototype, but it's not exactly as clean as the normal sculpt from the statue. I would've preferred more bruising, but hey, I got my unmasked portrait. And I used all reward points with this one. I'm happy.
