Finally, Flash just trotted in, guess his compromised upright stance slowed him down due to wind resistance?
Really, a great sculpt, with great anatomy, movement, and paint, though a little more portrait shading is lacking. As for the "new" upright positioning? Simply a shame. Plainly stated, a Flash who is literally tearing up the road deserved to be preserved in the original horizontal stance, as Bel sculpted and intended. As is, the smirk makes little sense, giving the impression that he's skipping over street ruble instead of being the cause of it! And no silly arguments trying to justify the pose by comparing it to U.Bolt. Why silly? Because in the "real" world Flash would torch, roll, and smoke Bolt in any racing form, period. We are talking super heroes here folks! Besides, if SS can release a flipping-leaping Wolverine flying through the air, surely the bullet/missile stance could/should have been preserved for FLASH.
Still need more? If sports is a "game" of inches, sculpts in 1/4 scale are a "game" of millimetres. A slight change can make or break a statue's vibe. Still a keeper, but am ticked-off SS chickened-out for absolutely no reason other than to appease the "leaning" toward stupidity crowd. Sad.
P.S. And if SS continues with the nonsense of compromising sculpts based on overwhelmingly unfounded fears(%wise), then get ready for a soon to be back flipping brown wolverine.
