Need help deciding on next statue

Leaning towards Mumm-Ra but Wolverine looks tempting. Hoping to get feedback to see if Im missing anything.

Mumm-Ra: Not seeing any flaws on this one. Love the base, sword, and details are impressive. I think he'll also look great next to Skeletor. Low Edition

Wolverine: Only a casual Wolverine fan but I think this statue is perfection. Everything from the pose, costume, details, metal claws, and paint job. Honestly, I think this guy is easily the best of 2018. He's also easy to assemble and free shipping. He's center piece material

Batman (BvS): The BvS Scene where Batman saves Martha was by favorite Batman Fight of all time. This Batman was scary as hell. I like the pose and the details on the costume. I think he'd look good next to Keaton Batman. Also a good deal on him. A con though is the face. Sculpt is there, but the paint job isn't. Not sure if its me, but not seeing Affleck in him.

Mumm-Ra. As utterly badly as they whiffed on Lion-O, they got his nemesis right.

Just going by the thoughts on your list, I'd suggest you go with Wolverine. So many positives and excitement towards this piece.

You have strong emotional ties to the BvS Batman, but the face keeps you from loving the piece and that could be a long-term problem.

You seem to like and respect Mumm-Ra, but this piece doesn't have the umph for you personally.

Your brain, heart, and gut seem to be aligned... go with Wolverine.

i own all three, they are all nice but the easy choice is wolverine. it is just about a flawless statue, i have nothing bad to say about it

mumm-ra is pretty awesome and an underrated piece. not sure how you feel about it being 1/5 scale or if you have any other statues that size to go with it. overall the paint is good but not at the level of wolverine

bvs batman is ok... honestly this piece has several issues with the sculpt. i ended up converting mine to a comic statue so i corrected all the issues i had with it but SS could have done a lot better with this. when you see what hot toys was able to achieve at a smaller scale or even all the fan art sculpts that people were doing (i dont think any got produced, just digitally sculpted) its pretty disappointing to see how this came out

Wolverine ....by a mile!

The sculpt is way better than Mum-Ra and Batman.

This new Wolverine is the best 1/4 scale version of him out there IMO. That is the one to get

I voted Wolverine because people are going to seriously regret not picking him up down the road when photos of him and X-23 start popping up next to each other on shelves.

It's going to be an exciting display with those 2 in full battle mode side by side.
