I know the reservations some folks have on this piece, but I am a huge Gabriel Marquez fan!

Looks alright, but I want the Black Costume version from BD.

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

Great sculpt. I might get this one later to display with the Bowen and HH Namor statues.

Azog, when I saw this at the Boston con I thought the paint job was just too flat, no texture added, just one flesh tone across the whole piece. The shoulders and chest are a little too beefy for me compared to the cover shot. Also, the ears jut out a bit too far, the jaw is just a little too square and the eyes don't really work for me (he looks cross eyed). The Buscema eyes are very difficult to replicate in 3D, I understand. It's technically a stunning piece but, as a whole, doesn't come together for me.
