Lobo Review Summary
Sculpt: 10 / 10
Lobo is an absolute BOSS of a statue. There is literally not a single sculpted element on this statue that isn't detailed to the max. Martin Canale and the sculpting team did an absolute fantastic job...I can't say enough good things about it. I'll let the pics below do the talking.
Paint: 9.0 / 10
Paint is very solid on this piece. You will find nice, clean lines throughout, good use of color and shading, the wood finish on the end of the rifle, the leather finish on the gun holster and pouches, the skin tone...it's all very well done. My one complaint is the teeth on the smiling portrait. On my particular copy, the teeth are not well defined, and the white paint is kind of globbed on there...definitely could have been done better (and on other copies, it is done better). Overall, the paint is very solid, though.
Mixed Media: 10 / 10
I had to break this out for a separate score, becasue it deserves special recognition. The use of mixed media on this statue is the best I have seen. The faux leather and the lacing up the sides of the jacket and pants, the real metal chain around his wrist and his necklace...it's all AMAZING! And the boots...the leather straps and metal buckles on the boots are out of this world! Again, I'll let the pics below do the talking.
Design: 9.5 / 10
Details, details, details! Amazing design work went into all of the details on this piece. I only knock it slightly for the very generic pose and the kind of boring, plain black ground that he's standing on (the perimeter of the base, though, with its homage to Lobo's bike, is awesome!).
Production & Build Quality: 9.0 / 10
The piece has good weight to it, so it has a nice quality feel. For the most part, pieces fit together nicely and securely...the exception for mine is the dreadlocks portrait...that particular portrait doesn't seem to have a secure "grab" between the magnets. It still sites down snugly, and it's not like it will spontaneously fall out, I would just like it to have that reassuring magnetic grab. Otherwise, the statue has great production value.
Overall: 9.5 / 10
Absolutely a contender for statue of the year. This statue is not out of place amongst the other heavy hitters released this year, or previous years. Absolutely a top notch piece in every regard, and a worthy addition to your shelves.
