Before I get into my review, I do want to throw out some "kudo" points out to DC Direct for offering something different then the typical statue and/or bust.
Points in Favor

- Little details add a lot. The Batarang and rope. The details around the window sill. You can see through the window pain.
- I like the colors - with good detail withing the bricks.
- It makes for a nice change to the standard statue and allows you to hang it on the wall.
- While at first glance, I liked the Batman sculpting. The sculpting eventually looked very "stiff" to me.
- I think that this would look "off" hanging on the wall by itself. You may have to buy more of the series for it not look like a piece that you just 'stuck-up' on the wall.
- With the sneak peak of the other display pieces, they are all coming out of the same window. I think I would have preferred a little bit of a difference in the display backdrop. Thus, the window backdrop screams 'mass production' to me.
Recommendation: Pass. DC Direct has some great busts and statues that I would prefer over this one; however, I hope that DC Direct improves on the concept over time.
Robert's Two Cents
I'm happy to see DC release something like this. It's not your typical statue/bust/collectible. Plus you don't have to use up valuable shelf space for these.
Points in Favor
- Good paint and color.
- It's cool! It's something different. You may need two or more to make them look decent, but I think it may be worth the investment.
- Great details. The walls and the windows are great. Look at the acid damage on the Joker one.
- The Batman sculpt is a little weak.
- I agree with Zimm, that you need more than one and it would look awesome if you had Batman and Joker or Catwoman staring at one another across a corner or something.
- It reminds me of the Hee Haw bit where they all stick their heads out windows and chat. You could have fun with that though.
