This list proves that their opinion on statues is just as horrible as their opinion on video games.

Just the whole structure of the head seems really weird to me. The neck is too angular and the face is all lumpy. It's like they tried too hard to make it detailed at the expense of that sleek superhero quality.

But then again, I'm not big on life-size busts that aren't based on real actors or live-action designs. At that large a scale you really have to nail the finer details, and it's a lot easier if you have clear reference materials and a set appearance to work from.

Cool! As you can tell from my avatar that I love the bust,I am honestly not a bust collector but I had to have it.

I would have added Paquet's first Dark Knight strikes statue and the first Jim Lee Batman on gargoyle statue.
