DC Comics enthusiasts have a long wait ahead for the Batman IKIGAI 1:6 Scale Statue by Tsume Art. Tsume Art announced this dedicated comic collectible for the Batman line with a scheduled delivery window between October 2027 and December 2027. The polyresin piece carries an official preorder price of $575.00.
This release is an official 1:6 scale polyresin statue manufactured by Tsume Art under the DC Comics license. It measures 51 cm (appx. 20.07 inches) in height, 19 cm (appx. 7.48 inches) in width, and 36 cm (appx. 14.17 inches) in depth. Preorders are open through Sideshow at $575.00 with a strict purchase limit of two per customer.
Translating Jim Lee to Solid Polyresin
Tsume Art drew straight from Jim Lee’s historic comic run for this specific sculpt, designated as the Shadow of Gotham Rises version. Lee’s panel work relies on heavy anatomical tension, jagged drapery, and a distinct forward momentum that flat resin often struggles to replicate. Here, the clenched fist grips a sculpted Batarang, locking the upper torso in ready tension. The flowing cape billows back to justify the substantial 36 cm depth. It avoids the static museum pose typical of older Prime 1 Studio pieces, choosing instead the hyper-focused dynamic punch that defines Tsume’s Ikigai series.
The Geometry of a 20-Inch Footprint
Scale discipline matters when you run out of shelf space. At 51 cm tall, this sculpt dominates vertically while keeping its base footprint narrow at just 19 cm across. That conscious balance lets you slide the piece into deep shelving units without clearing out an entire cabinet bay. Polyresin remains the material of choice here, giving the sharp edges of the cowl and scalloped cape crisp physical boundaries that softer PVC blends simply blur out. It carries real visual weight.
The Ikigai Line Pedigree
Tsume built its reputation on massive anime dioramas, but the Ikigai line narrows the scope to pure character intensity. By focusing on a single figure without superfluous environment rubble cluttering the perimeter, the sculpt highlights the physical silhouette of Gotham’s protector. It channels the same aggressive energy seen in high-end statue houses like XM Studios, but retains the distinct comic book ink line in its muscular structure. The Dark Knight looks poised to drop directly into a brawl.

The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Ikigai is the Japanese word for your reason to get out of bed. Batman’s reason costs him billions a year in gadgets; mine costs $575 once and ships in late 2027. Honestly, I found the budget version of purpose.
How to tell your wife: Batman has no superpowers. He just buys a lot of gear and calls it a calling. I’m not shopping, I’m following my ikigai.
How to tell your parents: You always told me to find my ikigai. Tsume Art literally named this statue Ikigai, so buying it is me taking your advice word for word. You can’t complain about the one time I listened.
How to tell your kids: This is Batman, and he only works at night, which is exactly why you go to bed at eight. If your light is still on, he thinks Gotham needs him and pulls an all-nighter. Lights off, unless you want a cranky Batman on the shelf.
Standing over 51 cm tall with a drawn Batarang, this piece captures the visual grit of Jim Lee’s comic tenure without bloating your display area. It earns every inch of its vertical footprint for anyone serious about high-end comic statuary.
