Somebody tell DST I want commission!

Paquet's sculpt looks great, but the depiction of Nick chosen doesn't capture what is important about the character to me. I would expect it to be the favoured Nick sculpt of the masses, but this one is a bang on representation of the character's highpoint. Unlike with Namor, where BD used the same inspiration yet delivered a dramatically superior statue than DST, I look at this and literally cannot imagine how anyone could have done a better job capturing the pose. You will be delighted with it.

Great review! I don't really even care for the character but you make me want to buy one!

You know what, sign me up as well...I have the Milestones Hulk and love it, I have thought about grabbing DD and Doom, but will make this my next Milestones purchase. I like the direction that WP is taking on the Bowen version, and may well pick it up at some point, but true enough, the Steranko version is the definitive one, and if you say it rocks and if these pics don't lie, then count me in. Very nice review!

Great statue and great review. Marquez really nailed this one. I love statues based on cover art and his Namor and Kraven look spot on too. I haven't seen the Namor in person but from the pics prefer it to the BD one as it is more faithful to the cover image.
