Funny Grumpy....I actually have mine displayed the same way...but going to switch back over to the clean shaven head now. This statue....just like any other XM statue truly is a testament to just how much effort and care and extras XM puts into all their statues.
It's not harsh...and I agree it is not hard to do because Thor can be done much more dynamically like this BRB. However, I still think it is the best Classic Thor ever done to date in 1/4. I actually feel that if the very first Bowen Thor was done in 1/4, it would be the absolute perfect Thor...
I think even for us non-owners of GR...it's pretty easy to say that it is one of XM's best. Certainly one of their top 5 statues made so far.
This is my order of rank for top 5 XM statues released so far:
1) Darkness
2) Phoenix
3) Mysterio
4) Black Bolt
5) Ghost Rider
Batman Samurai, Thor...
I've already congratulated you elsewhere...but what the hell...grats on a most wondrous piece of art! As the Top Cow characters from XM continue to come forthwith...it will be a most wondrous display! Can't wait for Witchblade and especially Magdalena! Woohoo!
This is one of my most anticipated pieces of 2017...hopefully. IMO...the base doesn't take anything away from Namor because he is in black gear...and just the black gear is a huge contrast to the brown of the Octopus. I would be more inclined to agree with Chapter IF Namor was naked or the same...
Bottom line is XM has many magnificent statues!!! IMO...Darkness is king of the hill...but to others it may be GR...to others Magneto...to others Thor....to others (myself included) Optimus Prime once he is finished! Hell, Mysterio is just as impressive as Magneto or anything else. Batman is...
Too much...thats why its all XM and no one else for the most part. What makes an XM statue doable is that they don't really bombard one with weekly releases. However, there is that one month out of the year where three ship at around the same time...so it does hurt at times.
Whether plenty of wiring or what you see in the pic...this is quite possibly the most impressive (certainly one of the most impressive) 1/4 statues I have ever seen. Makes Electro look completely bad ass!! Can't wait...one of my top 5 most wanted from XM!
This is not taken from the NEW 52 storyline. I know the Darkseid is the 52 design in the concept...but this should be Classic costumes. Still some changes with this one...so don't get settled 100% on what you see in the concept.
I think it would be cool and useful if statues have a motion sensor that enables a statue to light up when in front of it or passing by it. That might get a little Conjuring creepy though.
