Awesome Batman: The Animated Series ArtFX+ Statue!
The best version of Batman gets an ArtFX+ statue!
Batman: The Animated Series is one of the best TV shows of all time, animated or otherwise. It gave us Harley Quinn, redefined jokey characters like Mr. Freeze and gave us definitive voices and takes on not just Batman, but many characters in the DC universe. Batman: The Animated Series is still a gigantic influence on comics today. And that’s easily recognized in the fact that over twenty years after the show went off the air, we are still getting tons of merchandise based on the show continuously pumped out, and with good reason because the show remains a standard-bearer and still holds up as just an excellent show, never really showing any signs of being a product of its time.
With that in mind, Kotokukiya, who makes a wide range of pop culture statues, is making one based on the Caped Crusader from his appearance in Batman: The Animated Series in their “ArtFX+” line. Check out a description and pictures below:
"Kotobukiya’s awesome 1/10th scale DC Comics collection has brought you New 52 heroes and villains, Classic Costume retro-inspired figures, and more, and now it expands into a whole new world with one of the most popular incarnations of the Dark Knight ever, BATMAN ANIMATED! That’s right, Batman: The Animated Series is the inspiration behind this new statue, and it perfectly recreates the Caped Crusader in the iconic Bruce Timm animated style. Batman is captured in a wide stance, ready to spring into action against the superstitious, cowardly lot if bad guys who call Gotham City home. Bruce Wayne has never looked better with his chunky proportions and bold costume, primarily gray and black with a bright yellow utility belt, black and yellow bat-symbol, and a cool blue shadow effect on the inside of his cape. Of course, all of the familiar bat elements are included like the scalloped cutouts on his cape, pointy cowl, and the blades on his forearms. Best of all, Batman comes with multiple interchangeable parts so you can customize your display with three different sets of eyes (normal, squinting, and “weak”), three facial expressions (open mouth, scowl, and clenched teeth), and three poses for the right hand (thumbs up, holding a batarang, or holding a grapnel gun)! Sculpted by Keita Misonou, Batman Animated stands just under 7 ½ inches tall (1/10th scale) on his included magnetic display base with perfect stability. He’s the perfect centerpiece for your Batman: The Animated Series collection and looks great alongside other Batman statues from Kotobukiya. BATMAN and all related characters and elements ©"

The Batman: The Animated Series ArtFX+ statue is available for pre-order now at the pretty reasonable price of $49.99 and expected to ship in November of this year. Hopefully this is the start of a series of figures based on the show. I’d love to see most of the other characters get equally cool statues.
