Japanese high-end statue manufacturer Prime 1 Studio yesterday (25th) announced the latest product from their "Museum Masterline (ミュージアム マスターライン)" collectible series: the "Batman - The Murder Machine" (マーダーマシン) 1/3 scale full body statue, based on DC Comics' "Dark Nights: Metal"! Shipping is expected to begin from April to July 2025, and both a Regular Version and a DX Bonus Version will be released simultaneously, with suggested retail prices of 257,290 and 289,190 Japanese Yen respectively.
In the Dark Multiverse's Earth-44, after the death of his butler Alfred, Bruce sought assistance from Cyborg to create an artificial intelligence named "Alfred Protocol" using Alfred's consciousness, which he had scanned and replicated over many years. Once the Alfred Protocol went online, it began a series of brutal killings of villains hostile to Bruce. Later, Bruce not only killed Cyborg, who tried to stop the Alfred Protocol, but also merged with the Alfred Protocol himself, replacing his aging flesh and transforming into the Murder Machine, fused with machinery.
This piece stands approximately 85 cm tall, meticulously recreating the Murder Machine's high-tech body, the glowing blue and orange patterns, the Bat-symbol on its chest, and the intricate spinal structure on its back. The base design is equally astonishing, featuring numerous mechanical tentacles, blue pixelated cubes with a gradient finish and translucent visual effect, and three materialized Alfred Protocols, echoing the main Murder Machine and poised to launch attacks from their palms! When lit, it offers an even greater sense of presence and imposing aura.
▼ This angle is so JOJO!
▼ The DX Version will include an additional head sculpt with a sinister smile, as well as interchangeable left-hand parts in a tentacle and blade state. The grinning face, reminiscent of the comic's chilling "I'm here to help." expression, sends shivers down one's spine!
▼ Furthermore, purchasing from the official P1S store will grant an exclusive bonus head sculpt with an angry expression!
