the change in size is simply because the final product has Batmans cape curled downwards instead of up and out like the protoype...an improvement if you ask me. When I was working on the statue the Art director wanted the cape to be opened into a clear Almost graphic batman like symbol. I always felt it was a bit stiff like that and I really like the naturally hanging tips of this final product. They simply heated the tips on the resin stage and gently pulled them downward. I was very pleased to see this as it gives the cape a believable sense of movement, which is important for such a dynamic design.
hi ray! don't get me wrong, as i said, i saw this piece upclose at our LCS and stared at it for quite a long time. i love the sculpt, it looks great, and the cape doesn't really bother me at all. the paintjob is the only thing that makes me a bit hesitant to get this. i hope it's just that single piece that has those problems, and not every piece out there.
i have your green lantern museum quality statue and it's one of my favorite pieces. thanks for the great sculpts! i just hope QC at DC doesn't ruin them most of the time.
