The figure itself looks great. The base is way too busy, although I do like the banner. Lose the railing and cube pedestal to simplify the base. If the banner is removable it would make a nice accent piece.

Well, another awesome piece by XM! I think it's looking great. Love the podium. I wonder how tall he will stand in comparison to other 1/4 scale statues.

Yeah the base is a bit busy, I would probably get rid of the banner since you already have the Hydra logo on the bottom of the base.

Question? Why do some want to remove some things that are optional when it doesn't do anything to change the price of the piece?

I would think the more you can get...the better. That is XM's motto...and if people don't understand that...you are looking at the wrong company.

It just seems the sensible thing to do IMO. If you don't want the banner...then dont put it on there and leave it in the box...but don't try to influence anyone to not include it. Others may want it on the base..along with the pedastal. Like Demona said...make it an option.

BTW...this is a pretty stellar Red Skull..best I have yet to see. This is one of the times a museum pose works better for a character.

Yes if all of the pieces on the pedestal are optional including the railing I think it's very cool.

That's IF they make it an option, we might end up with a hole in the base if you don't want to show it... Anyways it's just peoples opinions, some think the base is to busy looking with the added items some think it's ok... All we can do is give our opinion..

Edit:
After looking at it longer it would appear that all three objects on the base may be optional which I think would be very cool. Kinda like a build a scene.

Double edit:

...and Demona already said that
Great minds, Adee!
