I say pass on it Chris. Here are my reasons: -You’re hesitating... I tend to not pursue something if I’m hesitant. - It’s 1/6 scale. It’s gonna look out of place... unless you keep it completely separated -You already have your own version of it..... which is unique. -Three grand for a piece that is not the center of your collection is a lot. -There are other pieces that you want... Talon,Penguin,Riddler,Clayface. I feel your desire to want those pieces outweigh the desire for Sanity... else you would have bought it a long time ago. Look at the excitement you had on Prime1 showcase night Sanity is a nice piece yes but I think it needs to be a center piece ... not a piece you keep on the side and will look odd surrounded by 1/3 pieces..... just my opinion. Plus you know there will be other exciting pieces in the future😉
Not sure if you know this already, but there is a different Batman Sanity statue that seems to come as a 3D print or a resin kit. There is even a recent RU-vid review video of someone who printed and painted it up to see if you would like it. This might be a cheaper option (and your preference for the smoke version may make the paint job easier), but you would have to do the calculations for total cost and to determine if you would be satisfied with the quality.
I'm also looking for one and late to the game. 3 things to consider. 1) hard to find 2) late in the game so you will pay more than retail 3) if you find one, you will prob have to pay the lump sum instead of payment installments It's a great piece. I wouldn't struggle about adding it to your collection. The struggle is finding one, the price you pay, and your finances.
You need both as bookends to each other and the collection. One alone will just not work in your space or with the remainder of your collection. Cheers.
"Five minutes of good observation is better than five centuries of bad philosophy." I say don't over think it, and get it. Once you have it in hand and have lived with it for a few weeks, you'll know if it's a keeper. If it isn't, pass it on.
I think the smoke version would look really cool inside the gun cabinet with 4 or 5 soft spotlights hitting it from different angles. Also possibly painting the interior of the cabinet black might also make it pop and draw eyes to it away from the 1/3 scale pieces. As for whether you should get it or not...I would say you should because I've learnt if I talk or think about a piece enough or too much it's probably a good sign that you really do want it and should pull the trigger!
Chris: Many of us would love to have that piece as well. The first point I'd make is it seems you are thinking about settling. If you were to get the colored version, you will always have a hint of regret. I'd rule that out right away. Second, yes it's a lot of money. I think we all know that XM's pieces are overpriced, but we also know of their quality. I don't own any, but there's several I'd love to have (Batman Shogun/Samurai). I continue to comb the BSTs for a good deal but never seem to find one, lol. I think the piece would hold its value, and you'd always be able to at least make your money back. If you are in a financial situation that allows for a purchase this significant, then you should get enjoyment out of your money. We are given one life, and it's best (as they say) to not look back with regrets. Third, I don't think you should put much thought into the scale as a deterrent. This is a one-off piece. Even though it's 1/6th, it won't display like a 1/6th. It will display as its own entity, a centerpiece if you will. I'd have to recommend not using the gun cabinet, as the piece would probably seem cramped. It would also be too low to the ground. The other spot you showed (where the Hush piece is) seems better suited. In the end, it's a decision you'll have to make on your own. If it were me, I'd pass on it due to the high cost alone. You have a wonderful Rogue's Gallery already, and with some patience, you'll be able to add the missing characters (Riddler, Penguin, Harvey, Clay Face, etc.). Having said that, if you get the Smoke Version, I'm sure you'd be happy and would enjoy it for years to come. Best wishes with this difficult decision. Either way, you're still the Batman Statue Collector that we love, and will continue to love no matter what choice you make. Cheers!
Chris if you are not sure because of the selling price I would say wait a couple of weeks, if it's possible, cool off a little bit and after that if you still have the bug inside as you said then go for it. This is what I usually do when my budget is tight.
3 grand for a 1/6 scale piece is completely ridiculous. You could buy a much better quality piece or a half scale for less. It's a nice piece but not that nice imo.
Get the piece. If you decide you don't like it you can sell it. I'm pretty sure someone will buy it. As for space can you put it at some other place in the house? How about sell batgirl, flash and gambit pfs so you can have more space.
It’s a tough call really, it’s such a great statue. But you made a big point about the smoke version being unique and you do have a colored 1/4 “sanity” in away so... I say you don’t need it but if that itch doesn’t go away smoke version is the way you should go.
We all can absolutely relate to this dilemma. You don’t “need” it because your whole AWESOME Batcave is Sanity, Batman surrounded by his villains. That said, it is one of the coolest, most unique pieces out there. It will probably be a piece you love, so if it doesn’t break the bank, why not get it. And if you get it in hand and change your mind, you will most likely get all of your money back.
Appreciate you sharing your personal inner struggle with us. It is a lot of money. I understand those comments suggesting your struggle is a negative sign. However, I disagree with them; if you can swing it, I believe that you should. If you have someone willing to work with you at the retail price point, you will forever regret it if you don't work something out. One of the mistakes I believe people are making is thinking of this as just "1" statue--when it is clear that a fairly sizeable group of artistic talent is responsible for making this a reality. The reason the price is equivalent to at least 3 statues that you might be considering is because this too is "many statues". It's a beautiful deception that this is "one piece"; the fact that people think of it as a single statue really is a testament to how well the project was executed...that so many different minds were able to come together and convince us that this is just "a" ("one") statue. I also believe that the price for this particular work will continue to climb over time and become increasingly more out of reach. So if you can swing a near-retail deal, I personally think you should go ahead and do it. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work. I/we enjoy your channel, reviews, and comments.
I have the color version on order. I ordered it at the Denver comicon where I saw it in person. Funny story about it: I went to the con on Friday to look at some of XM's 1/4 scale statues. I came back Saturday with my wife and showed her a couple of the 1/4 scales I was interested in. My wife is ambivalent about my collecting -- she does not mind it but certainly would not collect on her own. When I asked her about the 1/4 scales, her response was "They're OK, but what about that Batman Sanity piece over?" I was stunned that she liked it, and that she did not balk at the price, which is no small sum to us. So we ordered it. Regarding the cost, yes $3,000 is a lot of money for a piece, but the way I look at it you are getting 12 characters which averages to $250 per character. I have to disagree with your statement about being able to get almost three 1/3 scale statues for that price. The 1/3's are easily costing $1,200+, and when you throw in the shipping, I think the number is closer to two statues rather than three. I primarily collect 1/4 scale. I don't think of the Sanity piece as being 1/6 because of the sheer size of the thing overall, so I don't think it will get lost with the 1/4 scale. Plus, while it will be in the same room with my other statues, the Sanity piece will have its own space separate from the rest. I think you make a good point about your essentially already having the Sanity piece in your showcase. My collection is not limited to Batman. In fact, I am more of a Marvel guy. So I looked at Sanity as a way to get a full Batman rogues collection in one fell swoop, because I would never separately buy the amount of Batman stuff you have. Hard decision, I know. I think you need to ask yourself if a year from now, would you be disappointed if you do not buy the Sanity piece? Great pieces are coming out all the time, so I suspect not unless you really want that smoke version. If you decide to get it, I do think you need a separate space to display it. Look forward to hearing what you decide.
Hey Chris, 1:6 scale is too small for your collection, I think. But when you think this piece is a Must-Have for you and you have the perfect display for this size then you should go with the Smoke Version, you already have a very colourful Sideshow display and maybe we get a 1:4 Two-Face, Manbat, Penguin... Premium Format in the future! No doubt, you will choose the right decision :D Edit: And I really miss Riddler, Deathstroke, Killer Croc or Ra's al Ghul in this Diorama!
I've been away for two weeks! I need to catch up on videos! Chris... here's my thoughts on the Sanity. I think you're going down the right road when you talked about getting the smoke version. To me, this piece is a special one. It's more of a museum piece than many of the others. The smoke version puts it even further into that category. Super 'high end' art. The smoke version separates the piece from being monotonous within the rest of your collection. It's a centre piece. And it's a piece that is 'guaranteed' to only go up in value. So worst case scenario, you sell it down the road and make profit (after having it in the ultimate batman collection). Best case scenario, it becomes a unique centrepiece to your collection, you enjoy it immensely, it brings viewers to your channel, and gains value by the day. Those are my thoughts. If you have the funds and it doesn't put you out financially..... then I say go for it with pride and joy!! :D
Get it sir. I think it can be your center piece even though it’s not scaled to your other statues. It’s priced at $3K for a reason. If it doesn’t work out in the future, I’m sure a lot will be happy to take it off your hands and get your money back. And I think the smoke version is better. Stay safe.
You make a good point you already made your own and your own is bigger and more detailed bc they are individual statues. Save the money which is enough for 3 new statues.
Thank you for asking for our opinion. I feel the Sanity piece (amazing as it is) tends to lend itself towards people with a lack of room and could have a single piece covering off a range of villains without the need to have many statues - the TPB of statues so to speak. I think you would have pulled the trigger already if you really wanted the statue. I sense you're incredibly excited about other statues being released that in my opinion would suit your bat cave better. For me, while I loved the guest review of this statue, it's not a statue I'll be purchasing.
Man even being a mainly Shazam collector (hardly any consistent new pieces) I still pass on certain things due to being similar/overpriced so I wouldn't stress about it-wait for a good deal or let it go :)
No, and here's why: If you could only have one statue to represent your love for everything Batman, or, if you have another place in your house (perhaps the foyer) that you want to display a standalone piece then this would be the one. But if neither of these is the case, then this is a pass imo. You have, or will have better, larger versions of all of these characters. Having this anywhere near them will just make it look underwhelming. Save your money for the unreal Prime 1 pieces that are coming and just buy the art print of this if you love the look.
I would say go for it, but as you said, you already have something like that already on hand. Also it does not go with your setup, since most of your statues are 1/4 & 1/3.
Whatever decision you make Chris, it will be the right decision ...because after all, its YOUR collection :) My personal opinion, I always thought the Sanity piece that wasn't colored was def the piece to get over the colored version. It stands out as a stand alone piece of artwork like that and isn't just another statue for the shelf. If you have a pedestal or something to have it separate somewhere in the room Id display it like that if you get it. It demands/deserves its own separate space with nothing next to it. Id even suggest letting a 1/3 scale statue go or two in your collection(selling) to help with the 3k price. NEVER a bad idea. I only collect 1/4 myself but have a complete separate space for the SS hulk/spiderman dio(my grail) since its a smaller scale than anything in my collection. It deserves its own space. So I wouldn't let the scale be a deterrent for you. GL man!
It's an amazing piece for sure but I'd never drop 3k on a 1:6. Money aside, there's a lot of pieces out there like the new talon that you seem more Passionate about than this one, so if you've had to wait so long to decide wether or not to pull the trigger then I'm not sure if that spark is there. Besides i don't think it'd fit well in the main batcave surrounded by 1/3 scale pieces, so it'd probably be best separated, which isn't ideal, as for 3k I'd want it as a centerpiece to my collection.
Buy it! Let it sit in your collection and gauge what it brings to the room. There are statues that I was on the fence on but once in the room became a no doubt decision. Also, I’m pretty sure you can get your money back if you buy it at 3k especially with your reach! Good luck!!!
Get the smoke version. The longer you wait, the more difficult it's going to get and then you'll really regret it. If you change your mind, you can always sell it. Often times, people regret the things they DIDN'T do more than any mistakes they've made. You'll make more money, it's unlimited. These statue pieces aren't. Sacrifices must be made sure, but it's worth it.
You are dealing with the same issue I had on Prime 1 Superman Hush. I ended up getting it above retail because I couldn't stop thinking about it (...it was affecting my statue "sanity"). Agree with all the comments on scale but this is a Batman Collectors centerpiece in my opinion. Go for it. I've seen my friends in person and its going to be considered a "grail". Price will not drop IMO.
I went thru this recently but with Berserk. I kept putting off Zodd in apostle form and Skull Knight on horseback DX and finally bit the bullet. The prices, space required, and other pieces/interests had me debating with myself until ultimately I pulled the trigger because I don’t want to pay more later. I’d say get it because it sounds like you’re trying to find a reason not to. It’s better to get it now and sell it later if you’re no longer interested in it than to regret never getting it and have to pay more.
Get it, smoke version. It’s a different type of statue. It will be a lovely CORNER piece, vs centerpiece. Batman has a multiverse of incarnations, never too many, and lots of space to balance the different scales and styles. In the end you will regret passing, and this will def go up a grand or so in 6 months
You can't have everything and if you're biting your nails over the $3k (which admittedly is a lot for a 1/6 scale piece), then let it go. It doesn't fit your collection and while large, is going to have issues matching up with the rest. It will not have the same impact as a 1/3 scale. Also, you need to remember that there will always be new and better statues down the line. What about the Ledger 1/3 scale from JND Studios? What about the Batcave from XM Studios? There's always going to be more.
100% get it! It’s an absolute gem from Finch! It’s worth every penny and the value will go up and up on this one. Expect a flawless experience also with this one as they really nailed the production on this piece. You will have zero regrets also. Trust your own instincts.
Hey Chris! You are the guy who inspired me to change up my personal collection, how can I not provide you some of my insights on your plight? You pretty much hit on everything my friend; price, scale, where to put it, etc. And naturally, with decisions such as this, there are pros and cons to everything (except the price, that's just bonkers). I think scale won't effect things much because it's such a unique piece. Plus with so much going on, in spite of it being 1/6 scale it's still rather big. However, and this is the kicker, as you've mentioned you already have a version of sanity. It's that very display that inspired me to mirror what you are doing. Also with the same $$$ you pay to get that XM insanity piece, you can get at least four 1/4 PF statues. FOUR! That's a lot, Chris. Also, with you now considering adding members of the Bat Family to your 'sanity' display you can certainly put those dollars to expanding your already stunning centerpiece. I really do think your PF display is reason enough to pass on that XM piece. Sure it's an amazing statue but I feel it's one you don't need. Well that's my two cents. :)
I want that XM Thanos, and I’m going to get it. We all work hard for our money. If you want it and can get it for retail then get it. You really don’t spend a lot on only Batman. Me, I love DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Horror. So you should get it. I just drove 3 1/2 hours to Massachusetts to pick up my Batman Shogun, and it was worth it. So Get it!!!
I think sanity is best when you don't already have a collection or maybe it could be an end of hallway piece, Or some kind of introductory piece to your collection room before you get to the big pieces. Maybe a piece for your office? 🤷♂️ I personally wouldn't trade it for a 1/3 though.
It’s a centrepiece for sure but will be dwarfed by the 1/3 scale pieces. Having said that I think it’s also a stand alone piece. If it was me I would have it on a separate, dedicated plinth and have it displayed under a glass bell jar with a gold plaque on the plinth.
I feel like sometimes an art print of a certain statue you end up not getting can help satisfy that itch of wanting the statue. In a way you still own the art just not in statue form. I had the 1/3 Prime 1 comics Harley Quinn on PO and kept debating if I should keep it or not and ended up canceling it because of space, being interested in other pieces and personally I feel Joker being on the base kind of ruined it for me. He didn’t need to be apart of the statue at all it should’ve just been Harley on her own with the half pipe. She’s my favorite DC character and I do like the statue but I had to make that sacrifice for other pieces I know I’m going to 100% want in my collection. Since the new Sideshow Harley PF has a similar design to the Prime 1 Harley, I think I’m going to go with that option. I save some money and plenty of space. Might eventually edit an art print off of a photo of the Prime 1 Harley and have that be sort of representation of that particular piece. Can’t collect them all so it has to come down to those hard decisions. In your case, I know you would like to get Sanity but think about it, do you think it’s worth spending that much money on a piece similar to your display behind you when you can use those funds to get other pieces you want? And I think if you were to get it, it can take away from your display set up. Don’t get me wrong Sanity is incredible but not sure if 2 similar displays would look right in the same room it kind of defeats the purpose of your 1/4 display case. Maybe that art print you had in your hands can help with that itch? You have an amazing collection already and have many more to come, I don’t think you need Sanity honestly. I also believe if you can even think about talking yourself out of a piece, it’s probably for a reason. Tough decisions. But, Sanity or no Sanity, you’re still the Batman Statue Collector!! Don’t let that one piece define who you are!! 🤟
You made a great point in saying, with that money, you could almost buy three 1/3 pieces. That’s all you need to know. Skip the sanity and stick with what you got.
Chris, great video! I understand your struggle based on your explanation. In my observation, you don't "need" it. That said, it sounds a little like there's a bit of an attachment to the piece. That being said, attachment aside, as an outsider looking in, it's unnecessary.
Ok, after thinking about it it's a no brainer. If you can get it at retail you need to go for it. If you change your mind I'll buy it off you in a heartbeat. For us limited real-estate collectors having all those characters in a one stop shop.... PRICELESS! GO FOR IT BROTHER!
I say go for it as if you do not you will whish you had when they are all gone or you will end up getting it from another person with even more expensive price tag
Whenever I'm stuck with a similar decision I practice #restraint. I am very selective. Follow my model of discipline and let me know when it's scheduled to be delivered!
I think colour over smoke for sure but considering how much stuff you already have and how much stuff you have on preorder I don't think this is a must own for you long term it's not gonna go with anything since you mainly buy 1/3 Prime 1
Chris, the same thing happened to me regarding XM Thanos and Lady Death. I regret not preordering after seeing in hand photos and reviews. The NEED to have a piece passes. If you can afford it then go for it but the feeling for needing it does pass. It is only a statue after all.
This is a must own piece, especially for the BSC. That said, you should not fall into buying at a highly overpriced value. Be patient and you might end up picking it up at the right price.
Id skip this statue and save your money for more 1/3 scale statues.your collection is magnificent and i dont think this 3000$ statue will improve it significantly enough to spend that kind of money.love your channel chtis.
Commented on this earlier on the thumbnail picture for the discussion before watching this video. Which my answer in my opinion was a 'No', but if you like and have the funds for it go on ahead. But as you mentioned Batman Statue Collector, you already individually have each of the Rogues Gallery of your liking to be surrounded by Batman which is enough rather than getting a Sanity statue where they're several villains missing from that group in that statue. To answer your question honestly don't do it. Your fine with what you have there now in your collection because they look rather much cooler displayed the way they are. When you don't need another concept theme of the Rogue Gallery surrounding Batman especially when you've probably had started that concept yourself years ago before the Batman Sanity statue ever produced and designed by David Finch. It looks cool but it's not really that serious to actually get one, to be honest. With every individual statues not just the villains, you can take the time to actually appreciate the arts from all angles and still be amazed by it everytime you look at it from every perspective and detail especially with some easter eggs some sculptors may secretly put in just to make the statue be more interesting and cool to look at as you explore every detail on each statue individually. Save yourself the hassle and money for something better and nice because at the end of the end of the day you'll be happy that you didn't purchase the Batman Sanity statue. 😉
No, you don't "need" the sanity piece. Like you said, you have created your own sanity display. And the nice thing is that you can always update your display as nicer pieces come out.
The questions...Would it fit or rather match your collection...🤔. Yes, yes it would. A good collection does not necessarily revolve around one scale. Should you get it...well, that depends on how you can justify the purchase. Could you let go of something to offset the price? Any addition to one’s collection cannot be justified by someone else. We can’t tell you that you should or should not. Besides the price, how much personal value does it or would it hold? That’s really the only question you need to answer. If it’s just an opinion you seek, then yes. Yes you should. I would if I could.
Hey Chris! Too much money to commit to a 1/6 scale diorama that does not fit with your collection. As you stated, you already have a 1/4 Sanity going and it is absolutely stunning! I would instead use the funds to expand your current 1/4 setup or get those 1/3 on your radar.
SMOKE VERSION is better Chris. Both versions are way different. Different vibe. The color takes aways the “sanity” out of it. The nightmarish feel. Nightmare smoke version looks scarier; something you would see in a James Wan movie. Next thing, scale, yes, 1/6 is small and I wouldn’t recommend it. I collected 1/7, 1/6, 1/5 scale anime statues from Tsume, Figurama etc. after I got Prime 1 Berserk statues and saw how they towered the others, it impacted me a lot. I ended up selling the small scale statues. Thats my story. Altogether now, I ended up selling my P1 berserk as well because I want to dive directly into 1/3 only and not just that, but DC. At the end of the day I am more of a Batman fan than any anime out there. My radar consists of Dragon Joker as on of my centerpiece in the middle of the Metal line. I have Lee Bermejo Joker on the way. Like you said, also waiting on Talon. My advise, don’t get Sanity. Looks good yes, but scale is small and price is skyrocket; like I said before, SMOKE version is the only way, don’t get the color because it’s slightly cheaper. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A GOLD COING OR A SILVER? No brainer huh. Hope this helps!
You have a better Sanity right now, I feel if you'd get it, you'll be regret it. 1/6 is not the scale what you collect. One thing I learned is that, if you hesitating then you should skip it. There will be other future releases, Day 1 pre-orders for you, what suits you most. At the end of the day, you are and will be the BSC! ;)
Pricey - yes, but it is YOUR Wheelhouse, and that Cabinet is the Perfect showcase for it! Look, get it, live with it in the Batcave for a while, and if you sell it, you'll more than make back your initial investment.
You always say you love Batman Villians... THEY ARE ALL THERE FOR YOU!! Well most of them LOL. Get it man!!! Where did you get that Batman Sanity poster from??????
Hey Chris, it’s “your piece” but you’re absolutely right that it will very likely not be a centerpiece, which would suck becuase it’s “insane”. If it was $1500 sure no brainer. But $3k is very expensive. I’m having the same issue with Prime 1 Joker Dragon diorama, it’s amazing but can I bring myself to make an alternate universe Batman a centerpiece in my home? Eh. Whatever you decided will be the right choice for you. Thanks for sharing. PS: if you do get it, you know you can always sell it, bro. 😏
The smoke version doesn’t make sense to me personally... same price as the color version without the paint applications... I love the color sanity however and believe you should get it if on the fence
You said finch is a favorite artist of yours. You seem really excited to want to add it to your collection. I say treat yo self! Life is too short enjoy it to the fullest!
The most important thing for any collector is being selective versus collecting each and every piece. I would rather have a maximum of 20 statues rather than having 50 all over the place. Your theme is besutiful so try to add what fits within. I can see or maybe noticed that money is not the issue here but you need a wise decision to go with. No one disagree that the Sanity is a wonder even though it misses Riddler in which for me is big big fail by all means but still the statue is one of a kind. I have faith that a different studio will do something similar. I will never ever buy a 1/6 scale statue but this one is different and if you feel this will add something to your room go for it. Or just wait for that bug to travel away from you 😜✌️👍
Hey Bro!!! yes it is a very HOT piece...i seen the prototype at a con somewhere. BUT, like you said, you already have a custom Sanity that you LOVE, in the scale that you prefer no less. so even though it will be hard, i think you should pass on it. Part of being you is admiring the things you like that don't fit your room, while buying the things that do. i've heard you say, "i love this piece but its not the scale i collect, so its a no for me". this time its the same principle here, although this time its harder for you, its not your scale...should be a no for you lol. Realistically, i think you'll end up with it cause u want it so bad, but, does that have to be rite now?
The price is the biggest factor. It isn't worth it, for 1... the price, and 2... you already made your own sanity with all those statues in the case behind you. For 3k, like you said, you can get more pieces. Is the hard earned money worth spending 3k for 1 piece? In my opinion no. Not getting it won't change who you've become.
I think you should get it. it looks awesome and yes there's better things you could get for 3k but its so unique ad amazing. if you get it get the coloured version
I totally understand what you’re feeling, I think it’s a piece that will only go up in value, I think if you get it and really have 2nd thoughts afterwards, I think it’s will be easy to move l, so YES YES YES :)
No, don’t get it. There’s a reason you didn’t already purchase this piece. As nice as it is, you really don’t want it, do you? If you did, even the $3k price would not deter you. You don’t like the 1:6 scale and it would not be a centerpiece in your 1:3 collection, but it would take up space you could use for another piece. You don’t like the price and you have other pieces you are absolutely sure you want. When you really want something, the decision is not this hard. Nope. Nope. Nope.
No one needs it, but this will be the holy grail of Batman statues. Not a personal holy grail, but a really holy grail. It will be an item most collectors covet and seek and due to the limited amount, it will be the ‘66 ideal utility belt or the Mezco Black and White or the Nomura robot of the Batman statue niche. It’ll be at the top of the heirchy of Batman statues. No one needs it, and status is not important, but the practical benefit is that it will be a status symbol like any highly rare and widely sought after item.
I think you need to look at Batman Sanity Diorama with the idea of is it a must for my Batman collection I am going to regret it not being there if I do not get it? Also like you mention you could get a couple of 1/3 Prime One pieces in place of that one diorama! It my opinion I like you 1/3 set up and the Batman Rogues case. So I do not see it as must for you! Hope this helped!😃
Chris it’s not about the 3k. Your struggle is with scale and repetitive pieces. Right now your excited however when you have it, in the long run you will always know the scale is too small for the cost and you’ve done nothing but essentially repeat your larger display in a lessor format. Too many collectors clutter their space and are always looking for the “next” piece. Focus on quality and let these over priced “flyers” move on. You will be much happier in the long run. If you are caused stress or have to debate this hard you already know the answer deep down. Hope this helps.
I think your best argument is that you already have it, and you have it in 1/4th scale. I think the piece makes sense to a collector that wants to cover almost all the rogues in one shot. I admit I did think that you should have it in your collection, but it kinda doesn't make sense for you.
@Batman Statue Collector So this was my first year collecting and my first Statue was a 1/6 scale DC Trinity for $395. I thought no way I’m going to buy anything bigger until I found Prime 1’s 1/3 Superman $1,300 shipped. Started collecting others and then saw XM’s JLA vs Darkseid and I just jumped on the color version for $3,200!! Yes it’s 1/6 but it measures up to others and I think Sanity would be great for you but... I’m gonna be selfish and say I’m looking forward to you getting other pieces (Penguin, Talon, IS Joker, etc) so if it means u won’t get those, I say do not get Sanity 😬😬
at first i thought this was a no brainer u need it.. but the price and seeing as you basically have it alrdy in the back in 1/4 then i started thinking nah you def dont need it this can be a pass.. but then i saw the gun cabinet and ur idea of displaying it there.. you can make an amazing display there for it and i started thinking wow yea you def need it there. BUT honestly speaking and thinking about it i dont think you need it but if you were to get it def grand display in the gun cabinet and DEF colored version
All the figures are 1.6th scale... from seeing your personal set up its 1.4 and 1.3 scales... Id stay away from it.. and focus on what you love more 1.4 and 1.3 Just my thoughts... however the sanity is missing killer croc and riddler..
Hi Chris I saw the video of the smoke version and I thought it was to busy could not see all the charactors and looked to small when you ave 1/3 scale statues
Too expensive for 1/6 scale IMO, $3,000-something plus SHIPPING! Also, they forgot the Riddler so technically it's not a complete piece. It is a beautiful piece but not worth the price.
Is that 3,000 BEFORE shipping too? Cause it’s massive. Is it an epic piece, yes. I went back and forth over and over with the new XM Shugo Batman on the bat signal. Same reasons you had: cost and space. I passed because if I went back and forth so much, I prob don’t want it as much as other pieces. If it’s just cost, I would sell off something to help justify it. As Gem puts it”the hobby should fund itself.” This all being said, if you get it, I can’t wait to see it in your collection
@@BatmanStatueCollector OOF! Yea that’s a lot. I agree with what you said in the video though. You kind of already have the rogues gallery surrounding batman.
I think all of us who collect have these reservations. Except those with and endless bank accounts of course. If it makes you happy and you can put off buying another piece for a while, I say go for it.
You don't need it Chris. You're already ahead of the game with your 1:3 and 1:4 collection. You're right to say that you already have a 1:4 insanity. Use that 3-4k and get your 1:3 grails. The hype will die down, and you'll be happier for it.
Yes. Yes yes ive been telling you get it,, if you ever get rid of all your batman you got that grail showing batman and his rogues its an amazing piece and its a must...DO IT NOW.
If the price is too high and is always in the back of your head that's not good ha ha. And yes I agree its too expensive. I was so excited about the Doom Eternal Statue by prime 1 until I saw the price and said no. And now I forgot all about it. And yeah you can get 3 1/3 scale statues for that price. And you have most of those characters already. And also 3k and missing The Riddler? Come on ha ha ha ha.
It would be an easy pass for me because I don't think its worth anywhere near $3K+. It is only 1:6 after all and some of the characters are only from the waist up. I think it would be better to use that money towards another two or three 1:3s that would much better match your collection. Not to mention 1:3s are much better value for the money. This thing is so dinky compared to even one of those.
For me a 1/6 statue cant be a masterpiece in a 1/3 statues surrounding it, unless its bigger than 1/3. Still the 1/3 will be recognizable and 1/6th will be out of place even how good the 1/6 statue. We don't want to regret a statue we bought once it is in there. $3000 for a 1/6 scale not worth for me.
For 3 grand gotta say XM price are ridiculous but if you have the money and or someone selling go for it, and if if you did get it the spot where Hush batman is or the case under it is a nice spot to put it IMO.
Hi Chris, yes feel the pain, but it is so special and unique. This would be spectacular in your collection even for non statue collectors. You would not regret it. Thanks for another great video, my family love your positive shows.
