If you have some of the other Ross busts then Wolverine is a must. IMHO, if you can get over the paint app's of the line these are some of the finest representations of comic inspired sculpture ever!

The Thing and Wolverine ooze Byrne. Cap and the Green Goblin look like they jumped off a page from Alex Ross' sketch book. Mike Hill really did a job on these ...

Man, I just can't seem to agree with you on anything! I think the Ross Spidey is way better. That Wolvie does look like one of the stronger busts from this line. I saw the Cap not too long ago and didn't care for it much. I've considered that Ross Spidey and Wolvie though.

Nice pics, Kowarrior.

Not a fan of Ross's work on Marvel in a way its too realistic. Now his work with DC is

I am first and foremost a Spider-man fan and although i like the Romita influence of the Ross Spider-man i LOVE McFarlanes BIG EYE Spidey. I would so love for him to come back and draw old webhead.

Wow, that Thing bust is AWESOME! I've never seen that before. And I prefer the McFarlane Spidey to the Ross Spidey, but I like both a lot.

While the Ross head captures a Romita Spidey exquisitely (particularly if you paint the eyes white!), I find that the Sideshow one falls well short of capturing the MacFarlane look. I think the realism of the Ross pieces puts them streets ahead at this scale.

What I do know is that the Sideshow version of Venom looks so much better than the new upcoming bust from Upper Deck.

I'd take the UD Venom over the Sidesow one, though I don't think either of them capture the character as well as their pricetags would suggest.

You actually prefer the UD venom over the Sideshow version? Look at the pictures:

UpperDeck


SideShow
