I know the reservations some folks have on this piece, but I am a huge Gabriel Marquez fan!

What's a Gabriel Marquez? :confused:











:laugh:

Looks alright, but I want the Black Costume version from BD.

Great sculpt!Even if something in the face doesn't convince me...how does the paint job look like?

[bat_collector]

I need to go look at this in person. Nice.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Seems like a very accurate recreation to me. Nice.

[Sniper]

very nice statue!

[joy_division]

I prefer the black costume.. Both look great though

[carrillj]

Great sculpt. I might get this one later to display with the Bowen and HH Namor statues.

Azog, when I saw this at the Boston con I thought the paint job was just too flat, no texture added, just one flesh tone across the whole piece. The shoulders and chest are a little too beefy for me compared to the cover shot. Also, the ears jut out a bit too far, the jaw is just a little too square and the eyes don't really work for me (he looks cross eyed). The Buscema eyes are very difficult to replicate in 3D, I understand. It's technically a stunning piece but, as a whole, doesn't come together for me.

This is as good as Bowens IMO. And I've ordered Bowens.

[Daredevil]

nicely done by DS

Looks like a decent piece but I'm stuck between HH and BD. What version do you guys like the best? :peoples:

[sdbuzzcut]

Got my Prince Namore Milestone today and really like the statue. It does have lots of shading on the fleshtones. The only problem is, it has paint flaws on three areas of the statue. On two areas, his shin and quadriceps, there are black flecks like you can see the resin underneath. Near the trunks, there is another area that should be fleshtone, but is a light green. I'm hoping DCBS can exchange it. There should be better quality control.

[F.O.O.M.]

Gotta say, if this piece is as goods as the picture, it's near enough as damn it to Subby #1 cover. Have always bought Bowen, but may change for this as BD photos
don't seem to give a good interpretation for this classic cover, imho.

Here's mine, statue #423. This did not disappoint. I ordered the Bowen red trunk and black costume but passed on their green for this.

[Jerseydevil]

The paint and the texture on the trunks is simply amazing. It's a gorgeous work of art. I'm getting the BD version simply because I like the black outfit better. But this statue rocks. Congrats on a great piece.

Could you be more specific please????

This looks very good and I love the simple base that doesn`t take away from or add to the price of the statue.

[Babytoxie]

I think this is the best of all of the Namor statues. Never thought I'd say that about a Diamond Select piece. And the Steranko Nick Fury is great, too.

[Mastermold]

This is as good as Bowens IMO. And I've ordered Bowens.

It's almost the exact same statue.

[Statuesque Fellow]

How is the scale? Is it larger than Bowen scale? The staff looks kinda cheap in the pics. How is it?

[wellwisher]

I think this piece has some great things going for it.
But I think they missed the head just a bit.
The ears are a too pronounced and the face lacks the strength of the Buscema cover. But I do think the anatomy is far better than the BD version.
The BD face is really not that good at all. The best thing about the BD Subby is the base. I don't just collect for the bases though.

[cyberpunk12]

Can anyone post pics of this statue with some Bowens? I'd like to see a side-by-side shot of it with the Bowen Sub-Mariner, but especially with Doc Strange, the Surfer, or the Hulk.

[kaza5555]

Here's couple I pulled from one of the threads.

I've concluded Namor's just a weird looking character no matter who sculpts him. :laugh:

These statues all look good to me. Bowen's got the best base, Hard Hero's base is also really cool with the whole water effect. The DST Milestones looks the most like Namor from that #1 cover issue.

[Haste05]

I like DST's the best.

Looks alright, but I want the Black Costume version from BD.


That's the one I bought. I liked it the most. :buttrock:

[ironrope]

DST's is the most faithfiul to the source material. I really like this and the Nick fury statue too.
