Anyone have the Alex Ross MARTIAN MANHUNTER?

I haven't seen this in person and the photos of an actual statue I saw on eBay didn't look as good as the promo pics. Does anyone have this statue yet? Any opinions on it? In theory I want it...it's just that those photos kind of worried me. I think it was more the paint job/actual colors, though the camera could make it look more yellow-green than it really is.

I rarely get to see any of the statues locally, so it is scary buying some of them without seeing the statue itself in front of me.

I have this statue and though it is a little on the short side I think it looks great next to all my other DC statues!Well worth a look

I have it, too. It looks good with the other DCD FS statues. I'll try to take a pic when I get home and post it. I have it in a curio with my other DCD statues, so it might give you a good idea of how it looks with the others.

Don't have mine yet, but will get it sooner or later from dcbs (probably when the toy sets I ordered ocme in).

I see they painted his belt buckle red instead of gold. The gold in the promo pic looked nicer. I have seen it colored both ways, but prefer the gold. On the ATOM statue some folks weren't thrilled with the belt buckle. For such a simple paint job the version in the promo pic was better.

I don't own it but it's at my lcs and I see it in person every week. It's a very nice piece.

I have it and must say it does look good. Nice detail on the base. The character is fairly simple and the paint could have been better, but if you like the League, he is one you have to own.

He also seems to be squinting.

I like the Martian Manhunter statue. I have no problems with his eyes being closed, as it looks like he's meditating/levitating. He also displays good with the other DC statues. I took a few pics to give you an idea of how it looks, but I think the statue looks better in person (too much camera flash). If you can get it for around $125, then I think it's worth buying.

Thanks for the photos and feedback! I took a chance and got the Spectre statue off of eBay a while back. Man alive, that is a BEAUTY!! It was a tremendous bargain. Just a stunning piece!! That was a VERY pleasant (wonderful) surprise! One of my favorite comic statues!!!
