Ummm no offense or anything "Bob Morton" and i know everyone has their opinion but that link you posted looks like the Big A has the Big D (as in down syndrome). Either that or you have a really low standard for what your $500 statues are supposed to look like. I dont know whether to laugh at that or cry for you:thud:

Oh you big silly goose you!

That picture is of a figure worth $6.99 not of a $500 statue so obviously it is not what an apocalypse statue would look like. That being said there are a lot of features on that figure that I prefer over the statue - he is more squat and solid looking i.e. not as tall but broader, the shoulder pads and the no ridiculous "A" on the belt for easy identification.

Still man, I and I'm sure most everyone will say, that the current iteration of the statue is pretty sick!. I'm sure a better base and a more vibrant paint job would make it even better and that 'A' is meant to be there, there are very few artists that draw him without it, and it has been a mainstay from the beginning.

Well that like your opinion man...

Behold what apocalypse should look like (according to me):

Notice the design of the shoulder and for-arm protectors and the lack of "A" on the belt (which the age of apocalypse one does not have either). These make him look more squat and menacing in my opinion. The SS statue should have been more broad and less tall. Plus I don't like the ski boots he is wearing. I think what I like about the above apocalypses is that the ratio between the shoulder size and the waist size is much greater than that on the statue - giving that version a much bulkier look. Just my opinion.

there's always a stylized version of a character. it seem the more popular the character is, the more version available. there's always exceptions of course.

You do realize that shoulder protectors and being squat matters not to Apocalypse, because if you knew the character. 1. He can change his form and 2. he's pretty invulnerable to most attacks and can also regenerate/heal himself . So again artist interpretation aside, not arguing that this representation of him is pretty bad *** and wouldn't mind either.
As long as it effen rocks im good man.
:peace
 
Also guys, need a tip. I'm reading the New X-men omnibus right now. Would I go straight to Astonishing X-men or can I read Apocalypse? I've been wanting to so bad. Haha

Figured you guys would know better than most.

Yeah, that top picture depiction of Apocalypse would have been ****ing sublime.:thud: The meticulous, countless subtle details all over sculpt would have made it THE star release of the Con. Menacing, great pose, powerful, hyper details would have blown Sideshow's watered down, cookie cutter version to bits. Sideshow, WTF have you done, & why for such a great character???!!! A ****ing shame.
