Looks like a Diamond Select statue. So far, I'm extremely disappointed given that I've wanted a 1/4 Loki statue for a long time.

The pose looks awkward, especially since neither of his feet are touching the ground. The cape looks like a stiff board. Sad day.

I like it. He looks mischievous and unassuming, which says Loki to me. And finally no giant base littered with unnecessary junk.

If you were waiting for a grand, god-like Loki, this isn't it though.

WOW, very underwhelming. I'll stick with my Bowen Loki on throne.

Here's to hoping he has a head switch out that is of his younger, more handsome appearance.

Agree with others. This is disappointing. And is he crouched on a giant sword? Is Loki supposed to be like Ant-Man in this setup?

I haven't preordered an XM piece in a LONG time. Not sure what is going on over there but I haven't been impressed with the art direction lately (although to contradict myself, the recent Maestro is great and the Transformers pieces continue to impress).

Yep. It makes him almost look like a child with a mature man's head. And the super stiff, rigid nature of the cape makes it appear that the cape is holding him afloat, instead of him appearing that he's actually sitting.

And the sad thing is...when this doesn't sell (because of the statue itself), the statue companies will cry "this is why we don't produce B and C characters, no one buys them". And then they will go back to making the 10th version of Iron Man, Wolverine, Batman, and Harley. Sigh.
