Of course you picked the screaming head and not the regular one.

I hope to see a pic of them side by side. I made a suggestion of having a switch out hair piece that wraps around Black Bolt or is holding a cup or other object that represents her powers.

I imagine that a CoH and hands easily dramatically alters the effect of this one though depending on how one wants to display it.

I happen to like that pose. You say "of course" like I violated some unwritten code by voicing a preference.

I actually like both BB poses, however, I think I prefer the shockwave pose a bit more.

Choosing between the two BB portraits is a difficult choice as I think both BB sneaks are very strong visually. However, my sense is that even the lesser action-like BB portrait isn't as subdued as the Medusa Lockjaw-throne so there might be some visual imbalance. All this to say that I've had throne statues before. IMO, they tend to display better on their own or when displayed beside other throne-type statues. Then again, it's not like XM is obligated to produce pieces which must be displayed together simply because they share comics-history (i.e., Medusa, BB, and Quicksilver).

Love it, I would like the hair to have more volume and a bit wilder. Although I can probably only afford one XM Studios statue in these next few months, if I miss out on Ms Marvel PO, I will try my luck for Medusa.

Yeah, except that's a pitbull whereas Lockjaw should look much more like British bulldog. He should be wider and stockier with a much more concave face.

Yeah, I was more thinking of the ridiculous size of that thing. It's the size of a bloody direwolf in GoT!

I wouldn't want to anger these dogs... not even mutant powers can give me the courage to face them!

Holy cr*p that's one scary looking dog!
Still prefer a standing medusa and much much more hair.
