I still regret letting the Gentle Giant version get away from me.

A weird choice, for an ugly base.

As that image shows. Iron Studios should add only thin blue cables, and thick yellow cables.
As it stands, there are all sorts of colors, which fail to work.
They have even thrown in a rainbow colored ribbon cable?

I would LOVE this one (Queen, make it happen!).
I thought the Gentle Giant Winter Soldier ScarJo statue was great EXCEPT for the base (which bugs me every time I think about picking up that statue on the aftermarket).

I think this is the piece most of us want. I'm surprised no company has provided this yet. Seems like a no brainer.

Gentle Giant already produced one from Winter Solider.

I think people want the pose referenced above in the Winter Soldier poster however. Plus, the base on the Gentle Giant was so so (at least for me).

I know the base gets a lot of knocks on the GG. I wouldn't want to see everything done like it, but I kindo of love how...sophisticated (for lack of a better word) the clear plexi shapes look in setting up the figure.
The figure itself is beyond reporach- the first sculpt that brought Will Harbottle to my attention. It may look like a simple pose, but a natural repose is something a lot of artists can't quite pull off well. Plus the various textures across the suit are a trip. It really does look like mixed media in hand.
That base is pretty much the antithesis of this IS piece- one is austere and abstract, the other is an overblown melange of environmental nonsense.
The GG for me is simply classy all the way. I don't line stuff up in rows, or have a phalanx of group statues on the shelves, so the fact it's an outlier in that aspect isn't a big deal for me.
There are things I do like about this- but I have concerns about the mouth area- and the price is likely to be ridiculous, and off-putting, for the statues general simplicity.

While the clear base doesn't work for me, I can appreciate your points here on the GG Widow piece. The statue itself is great and because of that, I was very close to ordering it several times. Also, you make a great point that the GG Widow probably works better as a standalone piece not surrounded by other Avengers statues with rock/street bases (which now that I think about it is why it really doesn't work for me as I wanted to display it in this fashion).
