XM Studios is excited to present our next DC Comics Premium Collectibles statue,
Batman – Classic! XM will be making this statue available in both 1/4 and 1/6 scale. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with XM’s famous quality finish, and comes in a bold, dynamic, and story-laden style.
XM Studios Batman Classic 1/6 Statue Premium Collectibles – XM is proud to have worked directly with acclaimed illustrator and concept artist, Mark Brooks, to conceptualise and produce this statue. In this scene, Batman is seen doing what he does best.
Always ready for whatever is thrown at him, Batman’s mastery of the martial arts coupled with his extremely high levels of strength and endurance are on full display as he is seen standing within battle-damaged cybernetic ruins, all while taking on Darkseid’s Parademons on Apokolips with a scowl on his face.
XM Studios Batman Classic 1/6 Statue Premium Collectibles – Armed with an arsenal of technology that would put whole armies to shame, the caped crusader’s vast personal resources have been put to good use here as he stands valiantly against enemy forces while utilising highly weaponised gadgetry.
This statue comes with 3 right hand and 2 left arm switch outs to provide collectors with the option of displaying Batman with his batarang, spring-action reel or grapple gun.
XM Studios Batman Classic 1/6 Statue Premium Collectibles – Collectors can pair this with Superman – Classic and can look forward to Wonder Woman – Classic, which will also be made available in both 1/4 and 1/6 scale.
XM Studios Batman Classic 1/6 Statue Premium Collectibles – The character of Batman made his first appearance as the lead feature of the anthology series Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. The character’s popularity in Detective Comics led the publisher to launch a new title entirely dedicated to stories about Batman – a step they had only taken previously once before, with the Superman series.
XM Studios Batman Classic 1/6 Statue Premium Collectibles – Batman began publication in the spring of 1940, with stories written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Bob Kane, though Finger went uncredited for years thereafter. The first issue was published on April 24, 1940, containing four original stories introducing new characters who would become notable recurring villains of Batman’s rogues gallery: two stories with the Joker, one with Hugo Strange and one with Catwoman.
XM Studios Batman Classic 1/6 Statue Premium Collectibles – The series was published quarterly until issue #5 (Spring 1941), and bimonthly afterwards. Alfred Pennyworth, the Wayne family butler, was introduced in issue #16 (April–May 1943).
After issue #21 (Feb.-March 1944) the number of Batman stories per issue was reduced from four to three. Instead, a four-page backup feature The Adventures of Alfred began in issue #22 (April–May 1944) showing Alfred’s comedic attempts to become a detective. The Adventures of Alfred ran in the pages of Batman until issue #36
