I'm sure others can chime in with alternatives. I've never had a problem with spec, and their warehouse is just a few miles from my house, so I've never had reason to explore other options.

Fair enough! They just take so long to get stuff so I?m done with them, if the ever ship the queen 1/4 joker (which I just count it as a $600 loss of money).
They sent me the invoice for the queen Catwoman 1/6 and I just never paid it because I didn?t want them to have my money for a few decades before they actually shipped it out lol.

My idea on what needs changing. Forgive the terrible photoshop skills, but I just think his forearms were far too awkward looking, along with his oversized back muscles, and chunky abs. I also adjusted the placement of his knees as his calves and thighs were not in proportion. I moved the position of his belt as well, not sure about that change, but the rest I feel is a marked improvement.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

I agree your changes make him look more proportioned like a normal human. However, this is an artistic decision LBS have made, he is overly muscular like WW is very toned in the legs and Batman?s fave day in the gym is leg day also, I don't think they will change this

Can't help but think of a cow or a horse every time I look at this statue. It just doesn't look right to me.

I hear ya, but the proportions they chose remind me more of the exaggerated animated series proportions. That design choice would be fine if they weren't going for something that isn't a cartoon influenced visage.

Yeah they're kinda trying to cover all bases but with only 1 body that's not going to be possible. The only ones I'd potentially be interested in are WW and Aquaman but it's not the right scale for me anyway
