Because of the above left image I have fallen out of love with this piece I think the proportions are slightly off as well as the posture being the worst due to the knee up pose. IMO
Proportions - QS's piece seems to have slightly too thick of a waist and too short of an upper torso.
Stance - I find the picture on the right to be the absolutely ideal standing pose. Everything from the even shoulders to the Head down posture, looking down at the puny League. QS insistence on the inclusion of Steppen's head drastically changes DS stance.
Also I want a full 1/4th Steppenwolf, not his head!
Because of this I just preordered Weta's 1/4th Darkseid, seated (throne) piece. Ordered through Spec Fic who has free US shipping on a monster of a piece.
