Kotobukiya Vinyl The Dark Knight Statue - Whats the deal????

[Illstreet]

Have these come out yet?...

I pre-ordered one from this place, and have heard nothing, and I've got this money set aside for it, and it's complicating my Christmas budget...

So has anyone got this yet?, or heard anything?

And if you have gotten it, do you have any pics? Please post...

Thanks all...

I ordered mine from Corner Store Comics, and they shipped it out on Tuesday. I'm in Kansas, and am getting it on Monday the 8th. This is the dark knight suit, not the original one...it's coming out in late December.

I was at my local Comic store about a week or so ago and they had it sitting on the counter there. Looked really nice in person.

I got mine yesterday from Urban Collector. Where did you order yours from?

 

[Frontier]

Yeah, I got mine from UC last week too. Was a ***** to get the torso and cape joined, lol.

Hahah! I had the *worst* problem trying to attach the cape! And I can't get him to stand properly on the bat-signal. I got the pegs all the way into the left foot, but can barely get them in the right one! Oh well, at least it looks awesome t:

Just won an ebay auction for one of these...$67 new/shipped.

However, I've never put one together before, any advice? Are those that have it happy with it?

I am very happy with mine...it looks great! It's heavier than heck though! And, for mine anyway, it seemed I needed some Hulk-like strength to pop some of the pieces together!! Several arm cramps and swear words later, I have it sitting on the top shelf of my Batman display area.

Thanks TT. I should get it any day now, I'll post some pictures and let you know how it goes.

Next time you may want to warm the pieces up with a blow dryer first. Be careful not to get them hot, just warm them a little to soften them up

Received mine yesterday! I'm very impressed with it - it looks great, and getting it together wasn't too bad. The cape attachment was the hardest part. One question: I was told these were limited to 1000, but I can't find a number anywhere on the statue.

I'd actually though about doing that! But at the time I had no working hair dryer. So I just had to cram the pieces together. Good idea, though! t:

I don't think mine had one either. Maybe since it's not one of those "hand painted limited edition" sort of things, they aren't numbered. Most of the things I have that do have numbers have all been hand painted. Or...so they claim haha!

That looks a lot cooler than I thought it would.

Everywhere the statue is listed, it's described as "strictly limited to 1,000 pieces," "limited edition," but there is no sign of any numbering on the statue. The box does have some numbering, but it's hard to tell what exactly it's referring to. Who knows?

This thing is very cool. A beautiful sculpt - very dynamic.
