We realize he's a comic book mutant right? He's not a real person.

The problem with SS Sabertooth is they're perfectly shaped like bananas and his skin is yellow so it just emphasizes it more then in other statues...

That said, I do think a lot of these sculptors have been going overboard with muscle definition, most of the time IMO it looks like their legs or arms are deformed from all the muscle bulging that's going on, sculptors really need to tone it down some...

they aren't the same shape or outline color aside :| It is the same muscle and in general is a bulge, but other then that it is is far more irregular, more rounded and less oblong, and certainly less banana shaped ;p

The muscles are banana shaped on actual humans. If you don't like how they've over emphasized the muscles on this statue that's fine, you've got other options. It's not my cup of tea either, but it's also not inaccurate. You see type of sculpting on other statues and no one bats an eye.

Yes, they are generally the same shape lol, you're grasping at bananas. The main difference is that Sabertooth's are more uniform in size, like the Green Lantern pic. And yes, it is only that they are yellow that this became a talking point.

Green laterns may be more regular in shape however they do not have the same sort of bulge or curve to it like the sabertooth one does. And no the main difference is the sabertooth one has a very similar shape of a banana. The yellow helps of course but you could just crop that part out and color them both the same color and I still wouldn't think the green latern one looks like some bananas but saber's does (a lot).

And no it's not cause their only yellow. I am literally the first person who said this, I know what I was thinking when I made the joke, you don't. If you like banana sabertooth power to you, I don't care it's a small detail. I don't really care about either one as I don't like comics (and I like x-men even less in particular). I think the xm one looks better but probably isn't worth the price difference unless you have reasonable shipping to you but you can have your opinion. Stop telling me how to have mine.

The only thing off with this sculpt is the utterly childish, silly, misinformed, painfully laughable comments regarding the sublime sculpted anatomy of this statue. And this, coming from the limp banana brigade, who obviously, barely know their arse from their elbow. What a fcking joke.
