I really do expect more from CM, the heavy crits and Micky taking aside I actually do like them as a company and what they are trying to achieve (I've bought 5 of their past releases and still own 2) but it's more the frustration of what could have been that brings out such heavy critique. I mean where's the imagination? they could've done something really unique like stark being in the middle of getting suited up, no it wouldn't have been easy to achieve but that's what cm are all about isn't it?

 christ! I never realised how close the base is to the iron studios piece, that's got to be more than coincidence surely?

This pose looks so awkward, like he's doing lunges for his workout routine.

What were they thinking?
I can sit with an action figure and do 10 cool poses in 10 minutes, why do companies seem to ---- it up so much.
Sideshow Daredevil comes to mind also.
This looks even worse as it's next to the Underworld Marcus which has a bad ass pose!

the sideshow 1/4 scale is better.

they should have done a 1/3 translucent resin hulk.

they are releasing two more pieces this year, you never know. The only thing that may tempt me towards this is a accurate RDJ sculpt with his signature on the COA. I'm basically looking for a reason to sell my Mark 3 LSF.

The flat base is throwing the pose off. It's essentially a one leg up pose laid flat. Not sure what the thought process was. Other than that the sculpt looks very good. Just a pity about the pose.

Agreed.The balance of the whole feels unnatural but I guess if CM opted for the leg up stance it would have been to close to the Sideshow MK VI maquette.
A more straight up pose with the same arm movements would have looked killer imo...
