The pose kinda wild, but between Roger Cruz and Joe Madureira AoA Apocalypse was often cartoonish throughout the original storyline though. If anything Iron Studios calmed down his head and expression in comparison. The OG 90s art has his expressions looking crazy.

My forearm hurts just looking at his right hand. Awesome piece in person.

I'm not interested in different versions of the same character ,so nothing of interest here for me.
Hopefully they'll do a Blink .

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The chances of these characters being done again in any scale are nearly nonexistent. I can overlook those flaws just to have such nostalgic pieces.

100%. Any AoA fan needs these. If Rogue's portrait isn't at the level of the others, it'd be worth commissioning a repaint. Didn't love Apocalypse's pose, but his portrait and paint app were really well done.
Can't imagine another AoA set happening again.
Go for it!

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

It’s already in the hands of collectors!
Popcultcha (Australia) got it in stock not that long ago. So I’ve got to assume others got it months ago.

Ironically enough it's in stock on Ironstudios.com for US customers. Seems like they just got it in as it's in the "new release" section. I think it's a cool statue. A HUGE statue. But I just don't know how many of these were actually produced. It's $1000, and 23" x 26" x 19.7". That's quite the space taker. More like a 1/6 piece.
I've said this before, but I just don't see the "hype" with the AoA line the same way IS captured us with the original X-Men Sentinel line. That was dope, and went on for quite a while. This I haven't heard a peep on any new character announcements.
