I actually feel like they are starting to see that they are overestimating the ES. The recent statue ES has been quite conservative.

Yep. Bane PF, Apocalypse PF, Skaar PF, and HULK COMs too. The man is a legend in my book. I have so many of his sideshow pieces.

Personally think Canale is the best male and monster sculptor in the business.

I think he is great at sculpting monsters but I hate his "hunchback" males.

I feel like the hunchback is really only on this piece though. He went from sculpting a Batman with an absurdly long neck on the original PF to sculpting a Batman with no neck at all here. Pretty weird.

What other "hunchback" males are you referring to? Other than this new Bats sculpt and possibly Bane (which is a hit), I have no idea what you are referring to. Apocalypse, Punisher, Lobo, OG Bats, Joker, Spidey, Venom, Carnage, Hulk, and countless other sculpts by Martin are stellar pieces. The man's work speaks for itself.
