[@fingthepuni6667]

For Someone who has a wife, young children, and a mortgage (plus other bills), a HUGE THANK YOU to SIDESHOW for the Excellent Price value on this enormous Batman "GEM" of a Piece!! ;) Thank you!, Thank You!!, and THANK YOU!!! Great job on the unboxing and review Gem Mint!, and you too SIDESHOW! Love the Price Point and Statue!! :)

[@Alloutblitz]

This is my first statue I’ve ever purchased. When I first saw this piece I knew I had to have this as a huge Batman fan. It’s so damn unique and special. Love the video Gem.

[@xellosmetallium8519]

Frank Miller redefined Batman; you almost have to have this piece in your collection to make it complete if you are a Batman fan. Great Job, Sideshow really knocked it out the park.

[@xellosmetallium8519]

@@pat_diesel Each to there own, however Batman has always been about a man pushing close to the edge of insanity. Most of the time, Bruce does win out, but there have been several stories where he loses like in Batman who laughs. To me that is way darker and atrocious compare to the Batman The Dark Knight Returns.

[@Kratos1829]

I have waited years for a Batman statue that speaks to me, and I'm finally getting one. Can't wait to get this amazing piece.

[@tallonIV]

Same here! I have a few Joker things but I also have been holding out for that one Batman. It's finally here!

[@billionbillion4463]

Got my delivery today and I love it.

[@Siile_]

A big success by Sideshow for sure. They are still rubbing shoulders with the best when it comes to comic book statues, that's a very impressive piece.

[@cubannel12]

Out of all the Batman sculpts this is definitely my favorite. It's simple but very dynamic. Fantastic lighting light up feature along with the amazing paint job. Love it.

[@Slashi85]

I wasn't interested in this piece at all but after watching your review... Wow. I'm so impressed. Gonna buy it right now.

[@dereklee7009]

I look at a lot of Batman’s but never pull the trigger. But I couldn’t pass this one up. Looks incredible

[@jeremyhunter3388]

Just might be my first Batman statue. Pretty incredible.

[@neavetheartist]

I love this so much, the ability to transform something 2D into a 3D statue while keeping the vibe is incredible

[@flechman63]

Had this on Pre-order since day 1. Keep getting delay notices . Now that you got in hand I hope that shipping will kick off.

[@darkknight4260]

This is my first statue and the piece that will kick off my statue collection! Next on my list is Batman Beyond collector’s edition!

[@mattchedzey]

Hey, @Gem Mint Collectibles - Awesome review of an amazing piece. That portrait is incredible. I remember when this was first released (I day 1 PO'd it) and I was so eager to hear tour opinion. Someone asked you on a live stream, and you said something like "no comment" because you didn't like it. I was so surprised and wondered how anyone couldn't like such a piece 😂

[@ironbat7143]

Not related to the video, but are you done with weekly comic reviews? I noticed it’s been awhile. I love those videos! Hope they return

[@DanielBel]

Great review as usual brother! I'm really happy you like it. Big hugs my friend!

[@English277]

I know it is not a big thing but great job you're the only person who I have seen that has reviewed this statue that has said how you open up the statue box to get to the statue thanks.

[@jackhalsey242]

Love this one! I love how Sideshow is still keeping the bases small but really pushing so many other features. Really great paint and texturing. Love all the details in the gloves and all the other little details

[@robbvanderstoel7725]

I liked this way more than the source material. That head sculpt is so realistic.

[@GameOverSNAAAKE]

I was in love when it was first announced- so glad it lives up to the hyped. Mine arrives tomorrow, can’t wait!!

[@Superheroine-Hunter9549]

Your a great man, Gem This video was truly amazing and the light up is amazing as well.

[@symz4665]

This is the first statue I bought for over 6 years I think. This is it, this is what Batman really is and what got me into reading Batman comics.

[@AaronDE83]

@gemmintcollectibles gem did you have any yellowing on your lighting bolt?

[@samfisher5252]

damn i just got this put it all together and my light up feature does not work.....super disappointed after waiting monthsssss

[@armenianeric]

I have a huge collection and I can't wait to get this, actually arrives tomorrow. I saw it at Comic Con and it blew my mind. For that price point, it's absurdly great. I still think it's better than any Prime 1 piece out there.

[@tallonIV]

Wow the price is a total steal! I just ordered this! Beautiful!

[@Goose_Willis]

This turned out to be a lot better than I thought. That light up feature is great.

[@osheaoutdoorspnw]

Hey Gem...are you not doing new comic book day reviews anymore?

[@yodatoy8792]

Awesome and I bet it looks even better in person with all the statues.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

It’s hard to believe this is $600, 2 of my unlicensed Demon Slayer 1/6 are that price. Insane value for money, this is definitely a must have for any Batman fan, amazing statue.

[@olunchb0xo965]

For some reason anime statues are insanely priced…….

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@@olunchb0xo965 Yea and they’re unlicensed, so they’re not paying out any money for using the characters, so the cost should be way less. And then it also depends where you buy them, some sites can be 50% cheaper than others. Like I payed $608 for my 1/6 TNT Studios Kanroji, I just seen that same statue on another site for $339. I don’t know how they can charge that low amount, it’s an amazing statue, the big 3 headed demon that’s attacking her is supposed to be made from wood, and it’s done even better than the wood on my Prime1Studios Skull Knight, looks like proper vine.

[@cheukbunchan515]

To people who bought this already, is it safe to leave the thunderbolt light on? I preordered this recently. Plan to always have the light on once it's plugged in. But worried that it might get burnt out sooner than expected.

[@jn6305]

I’m not a big Frank Miller fan. The cowl just doesn’t do it for me…the surfer hand pose is also weird but I know it’s based on a specific cover. Super cool otherwise - i just worry about the height. Pretty sure you’d need a moducase MAX set to fit this

[@Maxagorn]

great review. where did you get the phantasm shirt looks dope

[@spiderphil]

I've been bingeing on this guy's content. It's cool seeing his appearance change from big to fit. No hair to full hair to slick back hair

[@cuervo3836]

Great review as always! This will be my first statue - can’t wait!!

[@terencestricky252]

Velcro straps? Sculpted Cape? Giant Environment Base? Are we sure this is a Sideshow piece? Amazing work!

[@craigwhitley1529]

It's an amazing piece but I even called Sideshow regarding those pieces of rock to see if they had any type of instructions they could send me and they didn't so like you it took me a lot of trial in error to get them all in the right place... Otherwise it went together easy and looks fantastic

[@christopheblouin9096]

Enormous and beautiful Batman statue from Frank Miller Dark night returns cover 👍 The light up is good for the flash 🙂 Good work by sideshow 😉

[@nelsonc6173]

Wow late to the party but man I'm not a statue collector at all but this piece...Man I actually might get this! It's pretty awesome!

[@hasanwallah7015]

Takes "being lit " to another level

[@benezz3011]

Haven't seen a new comic book day video in a while, are you still doing them Gem?

[@Sunkencitydesigns]

Where do you get you assortment of shirts? they are clean!!

[@dylanhicks-seriouslug768]

Badass statue! Definitely my favorite 1/4 scale Batman to date.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Wow, I’m blown away by this statue, that incredible portrait, incredible detail in the clothes, look at the cuts with the blood, amazing statue, and $600?!? Wow, wow, I was never a big fan of Sideshow, but looking at this, looking at their incredible new Joker (best Joker ever??), their Batman Who Laughs, and that $600 price, amazing.

[@grither]

looks like the dark knight joker is on the base?

[@jasonw3479]

This one's amazing. Think it's my favorite quarter scale Batman out there

[@itsmeevan]

Wow sideshow upping their package game finally

[@kdrpai]

I’m waiting on my flash by Oniri creations limited edition! Looks dope! This one I was in the fence on because the light up doesn’t really show well in a bright room and the piece is large with a narrow base so was worried about stability when displaying. Looks good though

[@rillzter4361]

Dope. When will sideshow have him in stock?

[@halfdrawnpe]

Really cool statue and light up feature. I really love that bloody head sculpt

[@kelvinng1862]

how much it weight?

[@chrissanagustin1395]

nice iconic piece ...glad i pre ordered it... looking forward

[@CBASS838]

What an incredible piece definitely nailed the iconic cover likeness! Loving the sculpted cape, detailed damaged portrait and FINALLY straps for the styrofoam!!!!!!! Great get Gem I’m sold 💎 🦇

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

Just amazing! This is 🔥🔥🔥. That pose and it’s gritty! The head sculpt is fantastic as well. This is a perfect 10! Man I love everything about it!

[@vividcollectibles]

This is a must! I'm hoping sideshow continues using the velcro straps from now on.

[@richarddavies7540]

Not a criticism, cause this statue is awesome. Wish they added a flashing sequence to the bolt if lightning and you could see batman's face from the flash.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Ah, that would have been good

[@dantranblay]

Great review, I think the cape doesn’t key in because it’s light and they needed the weight distribution with the lightning and all. Damn you physics…. 😂

[@nicknimocks1792]

Impressive piece for sure. I agree this has to be one of the best batman portraits out there!

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

Value for $ Sideshow still deliver the goods with PF Daniel Bell badass as per 🔥 🦇 👊 🔥🔥

[@feridradoncic2237]

It's also a four issue comic book series

[@MontrealExposForever]

Thanks for the review! This is gorgeous.

[@phillysheriff5138]

Great looking statue Gem Just a little worried about the base staying stable. Might have to dip into the wallet and buy it.

[@rayanknezic8682]

Dudeee I would need a new flat just to get the box in

[@Adam_Blankenship]

Sideshow dropping some bombs lately

[@WillMaigur]

Gem- do you know what the total depth is with the bolt? My shelf is only 16 inches deep but 32 inches wide so I’m thinking I could turn it at an angle?

[@holmesjakekiller]

Go on their website

[@maxjaw6323]

I really love this statue. The *details* 💯💯🔥

[@johnmccullough251]

Got one more payment. I got mine coming in a couple weeks. Not looking forward to the box but the statue looks amazing!

[@LastMnM]

Same, lol that box is crazy big!

[@ESav15]

Statue looks cool but...is that a lil break on one of the spikes of the glove with the batarangs?

[@meantime69]

Crybaby

[@ESav15]

@@meantime69 why? For asking a legit question? Don't really know if it is like that by design or not. People, these days...

[@jasonlein2849]

Thank god for the straps. No more damned tape!

Congrats! I got mine last week.

[@callumbignall1877]

Incredible head sculpt,

[@user-ek4nh8oq8f]

We miss your weekly comic book reviews.

[@anubusx]

That lightning bolt is awesome.

[@moneywastedcollecting]

I’ve been dedicated to saving up for the Harley Who Laughs when prime 1 drops it finally but all these statues give me the itch bruh … so sick especially for that price point.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Yea the price is just amazing, can’t believe they’re able to sell them for this cost, while other companies are rapidly increasing their prices (check out Prime1’s rereleased original Berserker armor Guts as an example) Sideshow are knocking out quality like this. Their new Joker is the best Joker statue ever released, at least I think so, it’s a perfect statue, I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@supamahyo5161]

Dude Gem where did you get that dope tshirt from?!

[@GemMintCollectibles]

It’s a bootleg I got off IG

[@200yoda002]

Very impressive piece!

[@aarons8532]

So i wonder if anyone is gonna say it, is this the best 1/4 batman to date?? This thing is so sick ordered mine few months ago bout to pay it all off so i can get this in hand whoa SS this is the goods here

[@jasoncarvalho9483]

that box is huge !! cant wait to pay duties on that bad boy lmao. dope vid! cant wait to get mine

[@HardcoreGraveyard416]

Still waiting for mine

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Oh damn this is released already? I’ve been waiting to see this one, yea!!! And I really wish Prime1 would have straps on their boxes, the tape is so annoying, the straps here are so much better.

[@georgemoss8729]

I love Frank Miller batman. This piece is so dope

[@supermiguelYT]

Holi box Batman! That’s a weird one crazy statue!

[@erichutton3669]

Wow he looks great!!

[@dataisto8803]

That looks super cool!!🔥

[@Konuvis]

If it fits I would put this were you currently have your Batman PF. It would be killer mixed in with all the DC comics.

[@GemMintCollectibles]

I think it’s too tall

[@Konuvis]

@@GemMintCollectibles ah too bad.

[@FallenHeroEM1]

Hella dope piece. Just don't have Frank sign it.

[@drocksteadyreviews]

Been waiting for this one! 🔥🔥🔥

[@markherman1211]

...I feel like I like this more in a review than I would in person.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Gem did you get the email about the price increase on the shipping for the new Berserker armor Guts? You’re getting that aren’t you, It’s now $1,010 to ship, that’s insane, I thought it was already crazy at $740, but over $1,000 for shipping a 1/4 scale is just a joke.

[@ashleysmith640]

I’m wondering where the dark knight superman is 👍👍

[@graposo7]

Thanks for another great review! 🙂

[@erikbagy9883]

This piece is fire 🔥

[@michaelll]

I literally just saw sideshows upload of this on their yt channel a few minutes ago and thought you should get one. Thats weird.

[@woody32095]

I love the finished product

[@paul-norsemgr9263]

That’s one hell of a nice statue.

[@Alisona217]

I want this one for my collection
