Fabric doesn't always work. There are some pieces that look great with fabric, and some that don't. I don't think the Doom PF is bad. It just needs some tweaking to get it to look right. I am sure what lays under the fabric isn't as detailed as these pieces. The polystone underneath probably isn't even painted.

It does suck that the HT girls aren't out yet. I thought about getting a few, but I can't because it's just a group of made up chicks playing Mission Impossible. I don't know, I still might reconsider though because I love how brilliant Gentle Giant pieces are. I do like their original concept over SS's CotD...especially since you don't have to gamble on GG's production pieces. They don't screw around.
The only thing I can think of for why their HT line isn't out yet is because it's their own little baby. They can stop and go whenever they want to. They don't have to answer to anyone but themselves. Whereas with The Walking Dead, I have a feeling it's in their contract or the licensor is pushing them to get these out by a certain time frame. So they have to hustle.
I hope to God Gentle Giant never ever goes to a Sideshow mixed media style to where the mixed media isn't optional or can't be removed.
I only say that, because I owned SS's Wolverine and Sabretooth PFs, but once I got my first fully sculpted GG Iron Patriot, my first fully sculpted XM Magneto, and even my first fully sculpted SS Alien Big Chap and Engineer, I realized how inferior mixed media was to me. And then I get Michonne....all that detail in her sculpt is literally hypnotic. An all sculpted piece that's as good as the one's I just mentioned are like sex to the eyes. I never thought I'd be saying that after owning and loving so many mixed media SS pieces, but here I am saying it. Full sculpt is the ----.
It's obvious a few WD pieces have mixed media, but I'm just thankful that GG gives you the option to utilize it or not which is a very good bonus...especially if full sculpt collectors still have a soft spot for mixed media.
