That is because he is on the same diet as oprah...

With the exception of Mary Jane, I don't particularly like the rest of the Adam Hughes statue line from Sideshow.

HH Iron Man.

While it is a refreshing departure from the standard "Just standing there" or "Wave Hello/Repulor palm" fare for IM it looks like it he is hovering over a pile of his own feces. That and the lipstick color paint.

I've never seen any of the CM human likenesses in person, but all of the photos that I've seen, with the exception of the original Arnie promo photo, don't look that great. I'm not knocking CM because of price either. I have the endo and TX and those are fantastic. I also have the Predator set to arrive in a week or so (fingers crossed). I just don't see any likenesses.

This'll likely be a little controversial, but I still think the Jaws piece from Sideshow is one of the most over-rated pieces ever made. Now I love the original movie, but still, take the name plate off and it's just a shark, like any other, only at almost $300. Basically you pay a premium for that nameplate. Nothing about it is in any way remarkable in my eyes. It's a big and solidly sculpted shark, sure, but I've seen similar sculpted shark pieces of comparable quality for a hell of a lot less, and again, take that name plate away and to anyone who sees it it's still more than likely just a shark. The sheer size is probably the biggest thing it has going for it. As such, I'm not really surprised that this is still in stock at Sideshow really.

Again, that's just me though.

SS PF Hulk. I just don't get the pose. Looks to me like he is trying to avoid something. He needs to be either smashing or punching!!

Anything "chrome". For me displaying chrome piece next to a painted piece is almost as bad as displaying comic inspired piece and movie piece representing a real person piece. Does not mesh well for me.

I think the "chrome" thing is overrated, and over-priced. When they took away the actual color it's no longer represent "comic".
