I've only had 1, my second will be juggernaut.

That's how I ended up with SS Vampirella, Red Sonja, Lady Death, and Aspen as well as the XM Magdalena. Just loved the sculpts yet never read an issue of any of their books.

Sometimes a piece of art doesn't need a backstory. It's just awesome on its own.

Well said.

For instance, anything sculpted by PKking is a good example of this.

And you can create your own story about that piece of art.

I feel the same about Prime 1’s Berserk Zodd statue. I don’t even collect 1/3, but that thing is amazing.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Just got mine - my only issue was it has four pads on the base and one (the one under the second step) doesn't even close to touching. It doesn't really seem to NEED it, I guess. Maybe someone slapped an extra one on there on accident.

IMO, best WW statue I've seen.

I guess the pad issue was easily fixed (of course). I think one of them wasn't stuck on very well and it must have slid away from the edge when I slightly repositioned it. Had to take the whole thing apart and move the pad. Now it's balanced. I remember the same thing happening with the modern Batman PF standing right next to her. I can't slide him around, either.

but her had is almost twisted back, her face for me looks old and the neck is so long.
