Already!? After the eternity it took for Sideshow to finally decide to produce a top tier character like the flash I wouldn’t hold my breath on them doing another any time soon.

No, it wasn't that. Not to me, anyway - even with the lantern it would have felt like his arm was positioned lower than it should be, in relation to his shoulder. The transition from the (huge) shoulder to the arm was really off to me.

It annoyed me a lot, so I sold it for a great price.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

The complaints regarding anatomy are complete nonsense. You may not like the pose/art direction which is fine, but the anatomy from head to toe is beyond sublime. Yes, including those thighs.

Daniel Bel stripped/skinned the human body bare, offering one of the very best body sculpts ever offered. Along with the classic/iconic pose/theme, a collector's dream.

Work at this level/calibre of excellence allows both the industry and collectors to expand & grow. It would be wise to recognize it, support it, celebrate it, and take notes!

A great work.

Proves the point that art is personal. I personally am not a fan of practically all of Bel's statues and that goes back to his work before sideshow. The Flash, captain America, not for me. But you have an appreciation for the skinned human body sculpt, so obviously there's a market out there. Very happy for you and I'm not being sarcastic.

It's their DC comics line... they teased GL as one of the many silhouettes.

Joking aside, he might be cool. I really liked their Kyle.
