LOBO

I know this isn't a super popular piece, but it's a personal favorite. I have to give most of the credit to artist Alex Horely, who designed it, as I merely tried to copy what he already did. Alex is a great artist and a hell of nice guy if you ever get to meet him at a show.

This is my paint master that was used by DC for promotional materials as well as by the factory to use as a guide.

This has always been a favorite of mine as well, and if I weren't such a cheap miserable bastard I would have bought one the instant it came out. You would think I'd be able to score a copy from DC nowadays, but I've got as much "pull" with DC as....well.... someone that has no pull.

It's a brilliant sculpt, most definitely under-appreciated in my opinion.

umm ok I never saw this piece before and now I feel that I must have one! He looks awesome!
Anyone have a pic so I can see the size? I saw that it's 9.5 inches tall, but it's just hard to imagine what it would look like in my collection.
Any help would be most appreciated.
