This could be incredible, but the pose makes it look like he’s landing on that hodgepodge of machinery after a jump or drop which causes a very unnatural look.

Such a minor tweak to the positioning of his legs would take this to the next level. Right now it’s just barely a pass because there is just so much greatness out there and forthcoming. Monitoring closely for tweaks.

Thanks for the pics, GB. Without you we’d never get to provide consumer feedback.

The problem also lies, people complained about XMs larger bases and they are trying to make them smaller but in doing so, they are taking away from the creativity of the characters pose. Same thing happened with Gambit. Don’t change what brought you to the dance!

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I could not agree more and i wish people would stop complaining about size so that these companies can just create what they want.

I see both sides. Some bases are so massive they can take away from the character and limit even the biggest displays while others in this case I would rather have him a wide stance where you still wouldn't need a wider base because of his upper half being so wide, you could even make it much shorter and reduce the volume overall. If all their bases were as big as their largest ones you'd run out of room in no time.

For example, should Rhino include an entire wall(that blocks 2 of the possible views) just to have it or would some rubble around him convey the same image? I'd take the latter every time.

the pose is gawd awful. both this and gambit have terrible poses. Get both legs on the ground with a wide stance and this would look great!

I wouldn't say either is awful but I'd agree that both feet on floor would benefit both of these statues in my mind.

I’m in on this either way. One of my favorite supervillian designs.

I was hoping for a more hunched forward sqatting pose like Blanka from SF.

My ideal pose would have been something close to this. It's just always stuck out in my head for the character.

I would have liked that type of themed base too.



I still like the pose with the arms up. I think it's pretty dramatic. I don't like it has much with both arms down but mixing and matching could look cool.
