The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Torso looks way too long, looks more like a werewolf mid-transformation than Sabes.

i think the height is off but not much since croc is 18.5" tall. i hear ya though, seems like theres more going on with punisher for $25 more. with each release comes another price increase

XM version is nice, but almost too nice. I don't need my villains looking like stylized GQ models. Besides, the viewing options are severely restricted for XM Sabes, losing the back leg/foot no matter how you display him.

I prefer my villains down and dirty, and this guy fits the profile. He just looks more fierce, dangerous, uncompromising, a f*cking beast in berserk mode. The grittier costume, the body proportions, the beautiful details, and movement are really, really starting to grow on me. Christ, I even dig his crooked teeth, which adds that touch of realism I always dig.

Besides, I think that SS pieces are judged way too quickly (though 1st impressions do count), not allowing the subtle qualities and details to be appreciated. This thing, in time, will grow on collectors like a fungus.
What kind of collectors are you hangin around?

Yeah, I think the ex might have a neck, but the reg looks pretty flat.


That said, I like it. I do wish the ex had an expression like the reg to better match the pose, though. The proportions threw me off a little at first, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. If I pick one up between this and XM it'll be this guy...especially with the difference in price.

Terrible pose. Looks off balance and awkward.

Wish the base was different, something that matched the others more, and at first this was gonna be an easy pass, but that Excl. Head is Killer. I may just have to bite. Excl. or fail for me

This has a "just another day at work" feel to it. Good, ok, average, does the job, nothing special.

I can't buy these sort of pieces anymore and i have no doubt like the other Sabretooth pieces this will be found for much less than retail on the aftermarket.
