Yeah these look nice...they really do...but I am a bonafide 1/4 bigger is better collector.

If I was producing my own statues using a 3D printer...I would definitely go the 1/6 route.

Hot Toys, SS, and every other company it seems are just flooding and crowding the marketplace with too much 1/6 stuff.

Mediocre at best, but the thor look's promising. The bases are too plain and dull. I am guessing they are just concepts though so there is more room for improvement, just my opinion.

They look rather cartoony looking... not saying that's a bad thing, but I think I prefer the more realistic poses of their 1:4 scale statues..

Although they could grow one me..

I love cartoony... that said, I don't think these look cartoony :P

I just think the proportions look off... as though the characters are fat or stumpy?

Wish they'd switched out the pose here for the 1/4 one on Thor. Would have looked much more imposing.

Was reading on Freaks that this is a joint venture between Mufizal and XM to create animated style statues. Anyways XM is just helping them out...

They are definitely animated. Not my cup of tea. I hope this doesn't keep Bowen from continuing as to me his representation of the characters are a lot better than these.

If they are going for a more animated style, might as well include Humberto Ramos in the group. Love his style.

Not a fan of these at all, the market is already over saturated with 1:6 scale Marvel from Bowen and Koto.

More 1:4 Marvel pieces is what we need, specifically ones that Sideshow haven't made like Dr Strange, Doc Ock, Loki, Juggs, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, Taskmaster, Omega Red, Mister Sinister, Lizard, etc, etc.
