You really need to lay off that crack pipe Mike ... HH's Namor is too g@y even for ME!

I agree with CK on his observations of the skins tones, they're by far too pink, but at least they seem to show the least in the black armored version.

Great reveiw CK.

Nic Review CK
i agree with you on all points

this could have been great if the skin tones were corrected (if possible)

1) base sucks. Appropriate for a fish tank, but not for my statue collection. Also, be careful handling this, you could snap parts off (like the sea horse)

2) don't like the pose, in that if you put it up high he's looking into your ceiling. it would be better to display this at eye level

3) nicely sculpted, but pretty generic. the spear is the best part of it.

b_c,

1) I completely disagree. I think the base is superbly designed and is extremely interesting. Appropriate for a fish tank? Let's remember Namor is the ruler of Atlantis, an undersea kingdom.

2) This pose is taken from the ultra-iconic John Buscema Sub-Mariner #1 cover. Very powerful and regal. Is it a "museum" style rather than an action style pose? Yes. Now, yes, he is looking up but my lcs has it displayed on a top shelf in a glass cabinet vs. mine displayed at eye level and, I have to say, his display makes Namor look even more imposing and powerful when you are looking up at him. But, yes, the statue is looking up so that may be an issue.

3) See my #2. Generic vs. Silver Age iconic is in the eye of the beholder. I disagree on this point. And it's not a spear, it's the sacred trident of Neptune.

I don't think HH's tops Bowen's. I actually think just the opposite, Bowen's is superior. HH's is too cartoony for me, though the design is very creative, and the paint job's just all one uniform color. Uninteresting. Doesn't work for me but, hey, that's just me.

CK13, I bought the classic rather than the black costumed version and, while I thought the skin tone was too pale I've come to change my mind. The shading on his body really looks great but, maybe, the contrast of the black costume really calls this out more in that version.

RB's sig doesn't bother me. You really can't even see it unless you're looking for it.

I honestly didn't notice it, and probably never would have if CK hadn't pointed it out in his review.
