I agree about the pose too, just doesn't suit the character. I'm not saying he has to be running, actually I'd prefer that he isn't, I just don't think the whole adjusting/putting a glove on is the best you can come up with for The Flash.
That said I'm very exited at the prospect of a Flash PF.

Not a fan of a running statue myself. That usually means one foot on the base and the other in the air, and I'm really paranoid about "leaners" over time.

The unmasked portrait sure feels like Wally because of the cocky smile.

action (running) poses have been done before and they all look far too contrived for my taste
must add that i could care less for an unmasked Ex (if that's what SS is planning)
bring it !

I really like this pose as well. Good way to put it with the glove, like you're seeing him a split second before he disappears. Somehow the base has to be proactive in showcasing that speed (force).

As far as the Flash costume, it's impossible to tell the difference when you look at the early comics featuring Wally. DC tweaked the designs in the late 90's to make Wally's costume darker and sleeker.
Portrait-wise, you really have distinct looks with Barry Allen's hair shorter and blonde, Wally's longer and red.

Green Lantern's costume being non-fabric made sense to me from a character stand-point. I can see that with Flash as well.

I really hope it's not $400. Green Lantern was $350 and he's loaded with light-up parts and a switch-out fist construct. Two additional portraits for Flash shouldn't bump the price up 50 bucks right?

Oh man. Talk about a mess on DC's part. They aged Bart into adulthood and made him the Flash for 12 issues. Got him killed off by the Flash's rogue gallery. Brought him back to life as Kid Flash. And then brought Barry back from the grave. All the while I'm wondering what's wrong with Wally West dammit?

It's more like a helmet these days. Not sure why the elder statesman speedster had to turn into a young adult - couldn't they have used Wally for that role? At least Jay's prominent in Earth 2.
