Is Bat Collector a sculptor or Artist, he seems really depressing and depraving on alot of items, the FS of Dr. Strange is one of the best mass market statues of any character anytime, anywhere, from anybody, but that's just my opinion.
It's certainly better than most of what's out there, like the character or not, it's just a great all around piece and if you get it or just see it you'll understand.
Sorry BC but the head on the sculpt looks fine to everyone but you, you probably don't like the leaf on Michelangelo's statue of David.

Overall, an awesome FS and befitting of the one true Master of the Mystic Arts!
The only observation worth raising--this is the first FS with a square peg instead of a round one to attach the statue to the base. Physics-wise I had quite a challenging time attaching him to the base.
Anyone else notice the square peg or encountered similar difficulties?

I think that Bat Collector is, like many of us, a collector that likes to express his opinion. He like many others here give praise when it is due and criticism when it is due. (Of course it is his opinion) One thing he also does is speak his mind candidly and directly. He is a contributor to this forum in many ways, and as you can tell by the many barbs and pokes his way, many people here feel comfortable enough to give him crap in a playful way. Not trying to jump on you here, but I don't think its called for to call him out for his opinion. Even if he clearly has no taste when it comes to his comic book company allegiance.

The cape is stunning but there are technically far superior sculpts from Bowen in Phase 2. From a purely perfect anatomy I would say Sabretooth from Ray is the best.

Goddamn straight. Bats has every right to express his opinion, no matter how wrong  , whenever and wherever he wants, and he takes time to do his reviews so other people can benefit. So yes, he is tasteless  , but he has every damn right to be.
PS. Love ya mike.
