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

could be made less cutesy if the lips weren't pursed and he had a bit of a scowl on though.

Would definitely require the underarm wing section would need to be detachable along with the arm to make that possible. Guess it would need quantifying as to how many people would want something like that before XM considered doing it as it would add a fair chunk of extra cost on.

Black bolt is all about quite. He barely speaks in comics. What better way to show by the hush portrait.

I think a hush portait on this powerful pose would look very out of place.

Black Bolt is so damn badass he doesn't need to remind people why he doesn't speak, his face says it all in that first portrait.

Gotta say -- XM loves a big base. This statue is also huge and crazy detailed. Kinda wonder what the 360 will look like and what colors will be used on the base/staff.

Yup, I agree! A hush portrait will look out of place with this pose! What are you going to do with his left hand? Put it on his hip so he'll look like a mom telling her kids to be quiet?

Agreed. No need to go overkill with this piece. Everything is awesome as now.

Btw, there's already the BB contest thread with discussion on the statue:

hopefully a mod can merge

I'd like to see more closeups of the head. Also does his waist look a little thick?

I agree. No hush portrait. It doesn't fit this pose at all.

Personally I think we need to see him using his powers to full potential and what could show that better than BB giving a good old fashioned yodel?

Yea, I didn't know any better...I thought the contest thread was different than discussion. I welcome Mods to correct this if its out of place.
