Today, Bottleneck Gallery will be releasing one of the coolest Batman: The Animated Series statues The Blot has ever seen! For this release, BNG has teamed up with artist Raid71 to produce a beautiful Mr. Freeze: Heart of Ice statue and snow globe combo. As Bottleneck Gallery explained, “Batman: The Animated Series took Batman’s rogues’ gallery, already a colorful cadre of top-tier villains, and injected each character with a brilliant backstory, creating some of our favorite versions of these villains to date. Mr. Freeze’s revamped origin from the series became a standout, and his debut episode “Heart of Ice” a beloved, classic episode. Victor Fries’ heartbreaking attempts to keep his terminally ill wife, Nora, alive provided a powerful pathos for the character, and made for a truly captivating character study.”
BNG went on to say “We’ve taken our love for B:TAS’s Mr. Freeze and created our most ambitious statue yet! Based on Raid71’s print from some years back, we worked with Raid and our design team to craft a 14 inch statue of Mr. Freeze holding a fully functional snow globe. Every detail in Mr. Freeze’s bust has been lovingly crafted based on his iconic B:TAS design, and each of the two snow globes pays homage to the original episode and Raid’s previous Mr. Freeze print.”
The Mr. Freeze: Heart of Ice Statue by Raid71 is a hand-painted The Batman: The Animated Series resin statue with interchangeable snow globes and a removable glass dome. It stands 14” tall and includes two 3.75” snow globes. Each statue also includes a Mr. Freeze: Heart of Ice Mini Print by Raid71, which the statue was based on. This epic DC Comics bundle is limited to 650 sets and will go on sale at 12pm ET on Thursday, June 4th, at BottleneckGallery.com for $295.
