He translated pretty well. I'd say other than the fins on the gauntlets, he looks great!

It's a nice sculpt, but the paint app let's it down a bit. It's just on a bit thick and a little messy. I've had the same complaints for Sean Murphy, Capullo, and Nicola Scott. Seems like the newer ones in general aren't as well made.

Last 3 - 4 releases haven't been great for me either. Except Capullo Bats and Joker, received a broken Arkham Origins, had paint issues with Nicola Scott and Gary Frank too, and think Harley could have better paint apps. You're right about the newer ones not being so well made. Not that the old statues were flawless, but at least they were not as messy as the recent ones.
As much as I love this line, if they keep on churning sub par to poor statues, I wouldn't mind DCD calling it a day for them.

Hey guys,
new to the site! I just started getting into the batman black and white statue collecting. I purchased the Rafael Grampa and just got the Jae Lee the other day on sale which I really love. I also pre-order the Brian Bolland and Time Sale second editions! However I think myJae Lee came with a disappointing defect (I am assuming they come with defects sometimes)?
Basically I was looking at it from different angles and noticed the one bat ear looked off. On close inspection it looks like the inside of his right ear near the tiphas been sheared off somehow. If you look at it from the inside angle, it almost looks like the tip broke off, but if you view it from the outside it looks almost as it should. I was very careful taking it out and didn't notice any pieces in the box or where I took it out of the packaging.
The thing that makes me think its a defect is the fact that the paint around that spot is a darker black, it looks like they painted that spot in to hide it (I assume if I had chipped off the top of the ear it would be a light color inside)? Is DC known (or their manufacturer) for doing their own touch ups on stuff like this? I assume they figured since the entire tip of the ear wasn't snapped off, only the inside part they could paint it?
Regardless, the store I bought it from said they would take a look, just disappointing spending the money on such a beautiful piece and then notice something like that!
Regards,
Alex

Nice to see that all those thin/tiny points came out OK through packaging and shipping. I felt like I was performing surgery when I unpacked my Sam Kieth one with those ears 
Just got my Harley and the base has a bunch of very shallow marks and scratches in the surface. I've had this problem with a handful of the Black & White statues before. I think it's a result of the base being wrapped and packed in the styrofoam before the top of the base has completely dried, so every wrinkle from the plastic leaves a mark on the base.
Is there any way to fix this sort of thing?

i dont think the logo on the base is painted, i think its a decal..
Mmh maybe you can add some clear finish spray paint. Might help.

There's a couple pre order listings on eBay for the mignola with oval statue. I guess maybe we're getting one more shot at one?
Yeah, they are doing that with a few pieces. Mignola, Bolland, and Risso come to mind.
Forgot about Miller as well. Yeah, DCC is doing everything they can to milk the cow. Just adding or taking off the oval to give us another re-release.

That is strange. I didn't see a PO for Mignola 2.0 at DCD or even BBTS, as usually they are the first ones to list POs. However, this is not something new or strange with DCD.
Once they revisit Batman Beyond, Bermejo Joker, Catwoman, and David Mazzucchelli, I be done with my backlog. Hope they do...
here you go:
Batman Black and White Mike Mignola Variant Statue - DC Collectibles - Batman - Statues at Entertainment Earth
This version (with the white base) was released over 1 year ago - or maybe it was 2 years ago. I cannot recall the last time a varient was re-released.

Re-release of a re-release! 
Anyways, happy for folks who couldn't get it the first time. However, I'd still look for a good deal on the original, especially after reading Michael's review. Agree completely with the chest logo and the paint app / shade thing.
