Doom... "They don't call me the most dangerous man alive for nothing."

Oh boy! A Premium Format virgin am I, no longer. Yesterday I received both the SSC Exclusive X-Men Diorama and Doctor Doom.

These pieces are AMAZING! Pablo and the rest of the Gore Group did an exceptional job with these.

So, anyway here are some pics of Doom...

Yes, that Doom's Luger from his holster...

I just wish Doom came out of his throne. You know he had to be designed that way since he's sitting on his tunic and cloak. It would be easier to get to the gun too.

Those pics make the exclusive seem really mandatory now. Lay his gun there on the pedestal, and the angle of his head makes it look like he is looking down and deciding whether to have something to drink or grab his gun and shoot somebody. Looks like a great piece, folsom!

Very impressive! I like the small details like the impressions on the arm rest from his elbows. Great job by the SSC artists.

Now lets see the Emperor sitting on his throne.

ooh! sweet pics! i gotta get his gun out. this dang hood is so tricky to get looking decent, maybe SS or the board here should hold a contest on who can get Doom's hood to look the best!! mine looks okay, but it keeps reminding me of the Spectre lol.

damn! i got his hood lookin better than before but now the photos suck. i hate my wife's camera...

I can see you Mookey.

Great pics guys, and congrats on the awesome pick-up. So glad I grabbed one of these, my favourite piece - fantastic job Pablo & Sideshow. I was trying to get at the gun and holster but it's really tight in there and I got worried I might break something. Folsom's pics have made me even more desperate to get at that gun now!

Here's a couple of pics showing how I have set up Doom's hood....for now:

Good job with the hood, Mookey! Spectre-Schmecter, it looks good!

Very nice pics, Resin Dog! Are you using a digital SLR? What make and model is it? very nice! Nice use of a neutral background too. In my home, light is a bit of a commodity as I don't have many lamps so I used the natural light coming through the blinds.

About that gun, once I got it out and wanted to put it back in, (Yes, I put it back...), it didn't want to get in there between Doom's arm and the throne. I was worried for a second until I turned the gun the right way and it more or less slid back in to the holster. I carefully pushed down the flap of the holster and gently, I think, pushed the pin back in to the holster, securing the gun. I'm just really glad I didn't wreck any part of the figure, making it a non-mint piece.

Doom is pretty sweet looking I admit. Might have to get him.

I agreee. I put myself on the waitlist for the exclusvie this morning. Hopefully it will go through.
All though I could get him cheaper through a retailer since I can live without the chalice.

If I go after this I'll go after the regular one not the exclusive.
