Davenport Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Isn't there another version of this? I'm really not sure. Back then I was watching the 'work in progress' slides appear on Statueforum, then there was a Con booth photo showing one on display. That concept of digital-sculpture-becomes-physical-object seemed like it changed everything. The level of detail and precision is insane. (and may mean someday they could program A.I. software to both analyze 2D comic drawings and run Zbrush, kicking out character statues with breakneck speed.)

nearmint Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I didn't know that batgirl was out yet - their website isn't taking orders - educate me. It's sold out. You can try your luck with Ebay or a local comic shop, or you can jump on the waitist on Sideshow's site: https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/dc-comics-batgirl-sideshow-collectibles-300242/ What's the deal with the waitlist? Is that in case they get returns and suddenly have a few available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthaiHERO Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Sometimes it's used as a gimmick to think am item sells out quickly. Then they'll revert the item back to preorder or in stock status. This recently happened with the spiderman pf. Sometimes you'll get someone else's returned item. This was apparent when one member from the SS freaks board returned an aliens warrior LSB only to have another member receive it. In general they don't always reveal an edition size and items will go prematurely to waitlist status, which I believe IMHO is so they can assess demand. Or its someone who has cancelled their preorder, which probably attributes to a lot of the coversions. I've had quite a bit of success with the waitlist. If you're really interested jump on it.

nearmint Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Okay, let's stir up some trouble. What's the BEST Batman statue, either already released or taking preorders now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transplant Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm excited. SS Daredevil PF was sold out and I was on a waitlist. Just got word that I've been converted to an order. Can't wait to get my first big comic statue. 8 months later and still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Jim Lee ArtFX Kotobukiya look like a clean solid Batman design. PVC, not resin, so a light weight statue. Blue or Black versions, plus they offer a decent Superman companion piece. Pretty sweet overall, visually. No. 2 would be the Randy Bowen Batman. Beautiful design. Time has made them iconic. And for grins, toss in this monster...

Let's say it sells out in 2 weeks. You put your name on the waitlist after 4 weeks. Some people cancel after 6 weeks and you get converted to a pre order.
