I notice the pose is kind of like the new Thor, right hand back getting ready to throw the shield with his right leg forward... I'm not sure who's in charge of coming up with the poses but it's leaving me scratching my head in regards to what they were thinking about... Any natural throw is going to have the left leg out front when the right arm is back (IE: pitcher throwing a baseball) The reason you do this is so you can throw your weight into it. I know on Thor some people showed a quarterback throwing on the run with the right arm back and right leg out front but if you ever watch Football you know quarterbacks can't throw as far in that position.

If your job is coming up with poses for SS statues it would probably be a good idea to know how the body works...

That is ONLY if you are just about to plant your front foot for the follow through though, and if you are standing still like a pitcher. If you are running forward and you whined up to throw you have to plant your right foot just as you are completely pulled back and are JUST about to move forward. Try it... Kind of like this

Or like these shots from this video

Hate to say it, and I am not a huge fan of the pose in this art, but maybe just maybe if you are going to criticize a pose like this ... Well maybe YOU should know how the body works throughout a FULL range of motion, like the whined up on the run.

EDIT: I also forgot about this awesome custom Cap

I'll wait to see some actual pics before passing final judgement but from the concept art, I'm leaning towards passing. Both faces are expressionless and the pose is a little odd.

Same here but I'm leaning on still buying. I don't have a problem with the pose.

I've played football before, when you throw with your right foot forward all your only using is your arm strength, your not putting any of your weight behind the throw, that's why when quarterbacks are going to throw a hail marry down the field they have there left leg forward in order to put all their weight behind the throw. The only time quarterbacks throw on the run like your pictures is if 300lb linemen are on their @ss and they have to get rid of the ball quickly, maybe if this was an animated statue that moved it would look better but as for a snap shot of him throwing it was a horrible pose to go with.

look up any training video/site for how to throw a football properly.

Basic Passing Technique

Position your body in the throwing stance. Face 90 degrees away from your target. If you throw with your right hand, turn to the right, and vice versa if you throw with your left hand. Turn your pivot foot (opposite your throwing arm) so that it's pointing toward your target. Keep your eyes on the target.

Bottom line it's a bad pose, it's not how you natural throw something and that's why people are saying it looks awkward. I swear Spidey976 if I didn't know better I would say your on SS payroll. No matter how bad their statue might turn out your going to defend it.

Hell even lego captain America knows how to throw properly

It's not so much the pose for me as it is the facial expression, or lack thereof. The pose is a little odd but not a deal breaker. The fact that he's clearly doing something physical but looks like he's sitting at a funeral is what is turning me off so far.

Will wait for actual proto pics but those concepts moved me from 90% cancel to 98% cancel...

I agree with this post. :goodpost

Oh I don't love this pose. I am just pointing out that you are wrong, and sounding a little arrogant (something I know a little about,) when you are assuming they don't know how the human body works.

If you want to get technical, if SS intentions was to show him throwing on the run then his right arm would of been up higher like in your pictures. The way his arm is all the way back and low is how you throw if your planting yourself in which case his left foot would be forward and not his right.

It's a horrible pose just like CR Superman is a horrible pose, one of the biggest gripes about SS is their poses (behind QC issues)

Well if you want to get technical his arm would only be like in the pic above if he was throwing overhead, which doesn't make a lot of sense if he is throwing a giant disk. Now I dot disagree with you that this pose, in a piece of concept art, isn't working for me, but it isn't technically wrong which was your main point. Heck I could draw a better pose then this in 3 minutes, but then again this is just concept art, so I reserve my judgement till I see the full thing.

My comments were more about Thor then Capt. I only said Capt had a similar throwing style but it's not as extreme as Thor is.

Idk. Just seems like a lot of sarcasm and disrespect. Trust me I'm all about voicing your opinions, but respectfully.

Like I said it's a forum

Well frustrations will come out when your waiting a long time for a certain statue and when it comes out it's not what you were hoping... CR Supes is a good example of this.. I think there would be less frustrations if DC/Marvel wouldn't give out exclusive licenses, would help to have some competition. Marvel seems to be going that route since they now allow both GG and SS to make 1:4 scale Marvel Movie statues. So here's hoping that becomes the norm instead of the exception.

New concept art from SSC... Ex is the unmasked sculpt.

Not sure what I think about this one

Hmmm, well shoot. I don't know about this either. To see his face you have to angle him so that his entire costume AND shield are in profile?

And is that helicarrier wreckage as a base? A little weird considering that's not the suit he wore in that sequence.

 

[Gasdoc]

Had this on order (just in case) but that pose does not work at all IMO. cancelling personally

It seems to be a trend. Negativity is allowed to reign supreme, and to hell if you bring up a logical counterpoints.

Meh...I guess ss is full of artist not jocks. That being said...maybe thould hire some sort of athletic consultant
