I've posted my concerns in the other thread but I will repost them here if this has a chance to be seen by Sideshow and possible changes could be made.
First there small tweeks that I feel need to be made to the sculpt of the statue.
1. His upper arms, specifically his biceps seem to be oddly misshapen
2. The curvature of his forearms is odd and at different angles throw the entire pose off.
3. His neck seems to thicken as it moves towards his trapezius muscles.
4. His hands seem to be elongated at some angles and look as if they do not fit his arms.
5. His quadriceps and other thigh muscles look to be nothing more than a maze of strange lumps that give his legs no real definition.
I think if these things were addressed it would give the over-all sculpt a much more cohesive look and bring the pieces together. As mention by the other members of the board I also think that if the abs were slightly less pronounced this also would add to the composition of the statue.
The paint application is also a glaring flaw. While I still think the metallic gloss look of the green can work, if maybe toned down, the black makes the statue strange and I think takes away from the green elements. To fix this I also agree with others here, either a flat black paint application or even a fabric element would serve to give piece an a much better look.
And if a member if Sideshow Collectibles were to read my little diatribe here and take these things into consideration I have this to say,
The reason I point these things out is because I'm a huge fan of DC comics and Green Lantern. My entire plan once the DC line was announced was to collect most of the Batman family and his villains but also to collect a set of Justice League Premium Format Figures and some of their villains. After seeing the care and effort that has gone into the Joker, Batman, Poison Ivy and Superman figures in this line I was impressed and felt that I would have no problem devoting my money to doing just that.
However, seeing this Green Lantern Figure has now made me think twice about it. Perhaps I'll only collect certain things now and fore go spending as much money as I would have. Which I thin is unfortunate for both of us as neither of us gets what we want.
I hope I haven't ranted too long, Thanks for having an open forum that we can all express our concerns in.
the Dcd one looks like Jim lee style!
I learned it from Ink
