It's hard to please everyone, cause everyone has an idea of what they want from a surfer.

-Chrome
-Dynamic
-Semi Dynamic
-Museum
-Sizing

So you might check a few boxes but bound to get auto hate from others.

Building up hype for that many months was bound to be a let down for alot of folks.

But your also getting the nova which likely won't be made into a PF anytime soon. So this will turn off people because i bet this will mean surfer is 850 or so.

It looks like a statue of a statue of Silver Surfer.

I think if his hands had power surges with trails on each one it would have been perfect.

I don't think the pose is bad, just not what everyone thinks when they think of the Surfer. This pose is kinda like he's just arriving to the battle ready to save the day. I like the silver and the base. And the EX looks amazing. But I wish there was a full board or at least most of it.

as i said in the Sideshow Con thread...

this Surfer is a complete snoozfest...looks like zero thought went into it...zzzzzzzz

I like it. Not the best Silver Surfer out there, but it is nice and will look great in collections. Not up to hype standards, but I definitely like it

Yup. A slight alteration that would have given this a little (lot?) more visual interest.

That dynamic and more involved Dr. Strange right next to SS is $675. Silver Surfer should be closer to his price because he has less going on. If it’s $850 or so they are playing themselves and they will lose sales. Kitty added an extra $30 to Juggs. Nova should add another $30-40.

That’s exactly what this is to me. And that’s why it works. The old Bowen museum works for me and this does, too. Could’ve been better but I like it.

I don’t mind the base but very disappointed with the statue pose of SS. It just looks like he is doing a bodybuilding standing pose. Probably the worst Daniel B sculpt to date, JMHO.

Honestly this feels like Magneto all over again.
