Is this the definitive Bane statue, or does it look more like a roided-out bodybuilder than a venom-powered monster?
In this GradedHQ episode, we unbox and review the Sideshow Collectibles Bane Maquette in 1/4 scale, sculpted by Daniel Bel. We take a closer look at the statue’s size, sculpt, anatomy, paint application, portrait, pose, base design, shelf presence, and overall collector impact.
Bane is supposed to feel brutal, intelligent, dangerous, and venom-fueled, but this piece raises an interesting collector debate: did Sideshow capture the true essence of Bane, or did they lean too far into the bodybuilder aesthetic?
Join me as we break down the details, talk about what works, what feels questionable, and whether this Bane Maquette deserves a spot in your Batman villain collection.
Featured collectible: Sideshow Collectibles @CollectSideshow Bane Maquette Scale: 1/4 Scale
Sculptor: Daniel Bel
What do you think? Is this a true Bane grail, or is the physique too clean and too bodybuilder-like?

My name is Prof G, and I am a statue collector and toy collector from the Philippines. After so many years of collecting these statues and figures, I decided to unbox them all and give them a GRADE at the end of each video. Let me know what you guys think and if you have a different GRADE for the collectibles I am opening, please let me know in the comment section below. Thank you, have fun, and you know what? It is a good time to be a collector. Kinda.
