Batman Arkham City Collectors Edition Statue
I don't play many video games but I am a big fan of the Batman Arkham video games. Not because it's Batman, (well maybe) but there just really great games with a great story. The games felt like a continuation of the great animated series, more grown up and darker themes and featured some of the cast of the brilliant animated series and the story was written by veteran comic book writer Paul Dini who was also heavily involved in the animated series.
I've got all three of the games and I got this statue Christmas 2011. The collectors edition included an Collectible art book, Batman Arkham City: The album download, The Dark Knight Returns Batman skin, Penguin Challenge Map and Batman; Gotham Knight animated movie on Blu-ray. But the main draw for me was this great statue by Kotobukiya. This black and white statue is well detailed and looks great. The monotone colour scheme was a nice touch and makes the statue to mirror the promotional artwork for the game. The statues detail is great, the flowing cape and the detailing on the suit you can imagine what kind of fabric and material the various parts of Batman's costume is made from. I love the positioning of the figure, it's not centered on the base with his hand coming over the edge and in just position like he's about to glide down and pounce on some bad guy at any moment.
This was the first Batman piece of Collectors item that I owned. It was proudly displayed next to my Marvel Select Daredevil figure on my shelf, exhibiting my interest in two of my favorite comic book characters.
More to come,
Enjoy
