DK2 statue

[lujho]

I know this is an old statue but I managed to pick one up brand new from my comic shop for almost half the original listed price. Impulse buy. But when I got it out of the package I didn't regret it.

Now while the book DK2 was of questionable quality, millers DK2 design is actually one of my favourite Batman designs. And while I'd prefer the statue was just Batman alone without Catgirl... or even if it was Carrie Kelly as Robin (though that wouldn't make sense as it's the DK2 version of Bats), it's still a really, really nice looking piece, and it's a great version of the Bat.

It's realistic and cartoonish at the same time - the proportions are Miller's "big hands/feet" cartoony style, but the bodysuit looks like cloth with none of the kind of muscle detail showing through that 90% of comic artists draw, that would logically not be there. He's not a bodypainted naked man. And the boots and gloves *look* like boots and gloves because they are thicker again than the bodysuit.

That's a nice statue. And a great grab for that price

I love that statue, its on my list.

 

[Bathead]

Nice. As a matter of fact, I think it's nicer than Miller's actual artwork.

 

[Punch]

I wish it was a tad less realistic actually.

This is a nice statue. I was very pleased with it when I got mine.

Was there ever a good statue of TDKR?
I remember one with Carrie shooting her slingshot.

That one was the only licensed one, but i have seen garage kits for Dark Knight.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if it wasn't for Catgirl sitting on his shoulder.

Yes I've seen those but they are all butt ugly.

Yeah, it would be great if they had released a version without, or if she was removeable. You theoretically *could* try to remove her, she seems to be a separate pieced glued on, but you'd have to have a bit of skill to patch it up afterwards... and the exact right shades and types of paint, or repaint the whole thing. Which really doesn't seem worth the effort at all, not to mention the risk of ****ing it up completely.

Oh, well. Catgirl almost ruled this out as a purchase for me, but the cheaper than retail price swayed me back. I doubt I'd have paid full price for it.
