While Play Arts Kai have done a number of Batman based figures in the past, this year’s SDCC exclusive pulls from the caped crusader’s design in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice…and it looks absolutely gorgeous:
An exclusive limited black-and-white edition BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE figurine was unveiled today as the latest addition to Square Enix’s PLAY ARTS®-KAI- line of collectible action figures. Fans who wish to secure the San Diego Comic-Con® (SDCC®) 2016 exclusive figure before this year’s show can pre-order the figurine at the Online Store today. The long-requested BATMAN paint variant figure has been created and designed in collaboration with Warner Bros Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment.
Evoking BATMAN’s film noir roots, the realistically grayscale rendered BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE PLAY ARTS -KAI- figurine finely details the rugged texture of BATMAN’s body and suit, highlighting the modernity of the character’s design in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE.
The San Diego Comic-Con 2016 exclusive BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE figurine is available for pre-order at the Square Enix® Online Store now, and will be available for purchase at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2016 at the Square Enix booth.
It’s times like these I wish I collected more than just Star Wars stuff. Alas, there’s just no room in the house. That’s not going to stop you however! Will you be trying to pick this up?
