New 52 Nightwing Statue

DC Comics - Kotobukiya ArtFX+

Check it out!

This is the first in a series of special collection pieces that I'll be posting, it basically offers and up close look at some of the more sought after collectibles comic fans may be contemplating picking up.

First up is the Kotobukiya ArtFX Nightwing statue. DC have been giving the ArtFX treatment to dozens of their most popular characters since the launch of the New 52. This statue features Dick Grayson sporting his New 52 redesign, it keeps the basic look we all know and love but replaces the blue chest symbol with a large blood red logo and adds some Batman-esque Scallops to the forearms.

The Statue is plastic and incredibly lightweight, the paint job is great and there wasn't a mark or scratch visible after unboxing. Like all the ArtFX DC range the statue comes with a magnetic stand and two magnetic pads, one in each foot of the satue. These are super sturdy and I've had no instances where the statue has wobbled away or fallen over.

If you're a Nightwing fan then this is a must buy, even if you prefer the classic blue and black look this may very well convert you. The pose really communicates the characters athleticism and agility also the face and floppy hair style really capture Dick Grayson's more realxed character really well.The black and red paint job has a great shine to it and once you attach Nightwing's signature Escrima staff (there's only one though), the statue really comes to life.

Nightwing makes a great addition to your comic collection and won't break the bank, there's a great reduced price on Forbidden Planet right now at £39.99 check it out here.
