Holy Croc Batman!

Bursting into your collection comes the Batman Vs. Killer Croc diorama from DC Direct. The statue is part of the classic confrontations line that they have released and it may be the best Batman statue to date (in my opinion).

The statue's dynamic pose and detailing are amazing. It measures 16.5" high X 12.75" wide X 9.75" deep. Ray Villafane (sculpter) has captured Bats & Croc in the climax of a heated battle.Batman is depicted in full battle mode towering over Croc. Cape flowing and batterang swooshing around Croc's snout as a knee is delivered in a furious attempt to defeat the Croc & save not only Gotham but himself from Croc's destruction.
Croc is a tremendous sculpt himself as well. Every single aspect of this villan is meticulously sculpted & detailing makes the drama of this scene come to life. Croc has a couple of batterangs piercing through his scaly body but it really isn't clear who has the ultimate advantage. He will finally defeat Batman and bring mayhem to Gotham City.Another amazing part of the statue is the illusion of the rubble floating in the air as Croc breaks though the street and out of a Gothan City man-hole. Skeletons adorn the floor as Croc has feasted underground & they came up in the breakage. Attention to detail is without a doubt the deal sealer for this statue.




The paint job on this is perfectly excecuted. Batman is in a classic uniform with the yellow utility belt. Croc's color pallette is a work of art in and of itself. It has to be seen live to really take in how even the smallest detail wasn't overlooked. Even the sewer cap has the rust element applied to it. Amazing job by DC Direct all the way around!

This statue comes highly recommended. Easily tops in the Classic Confrontations line & definately a must have for any Batman fan. Until next time...Happy Collecting! - Loop
