Finally! Kotobukiya heard their fans screaming to release ArtFX+ Batman (The New 52 Edition). I always thought that they were saving him for last, but surprisingly, here he is, gotten past Wonder Woman and Cyborg.
These official images were just revealed from from Kotobukiya's Facebook page, and Batman's design is totally stunning. I can't really express how much excitement I felt the first time I saw these images. The cape looks cool, nice golden utility belt, the chest emblem stands out and the whole body armor is pretty much detailed. The face is just alright though, but Kotobukiya's sculptor Goutaro Takeuchi (aka Atelier Bamboo) put much of effort pleasing Batman fans on this figure. Though I believe there's still a lot of Batman hardcore fans who won't be pleased with this design. In my opinion, this figure really fits in well with the rest of the New 52 editions, which left us waiting for Wonder Woman and Cyborg. This is the best all the New 52 releases so far, worth the long wait and doesn't disappoint. Well it should be, cause it's Batman.
According to Kotobukiya's Facebook page, this will be released on May 2013, but that will be in the US. It must be an April 2013 release in Japan.
Update: Preorders are now open at Amiami
