back it up? damn, I never knew you and B_C were so close!! I'm telling Caro
But seriously, I understand that it's a review, but the dude ADMITS that it's OVERPRICED yet, he gives it a high score.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Even if they came in a Cracker Jacks box, I would still think they're CRAP! Let me put it to you another way, if someone gave me either of these pieces as a gift, I would wonder what I did to piss them off ... unless I knew what I did to piss them off.
Crap is crap regardless of price ... and this is CRAP! Making them $25.00 would just make them cheaper crap.

I'm a fan of the characters, and the era that most of the line represents, as well as the awesome work that's gone into each piece.
And like I've said before, if DC did a better job of producing quality pieces that displayed better together, my office would be full of thier statues than Marvels.

Lets see the level of your sculpting skills then?
You may not like them, but your hyperbolic comments undermine your arguement.

I couldn't care less if he had 4 fits, my opinion is my own and I stand by it .. these pieces are CRAP.

One doesn't have to have sculpting skills to appreciate a good sculpt from a bad one .. and make no mistake, these are BAD. But rest assured, even without sculpting skills, I sure as hell couldn't do much worse than these pieces.

If I called a Picasso a piece of sh!t, would I be taken seriously as an art critic?

If that's your opinion, then that's your opinion ... and for the record I've always thought that most of Picasso's work is crap ... I much prefer Monet or Dali.
I'm not making a living as an "art critic" and these pieces are FAR from master works of art .. maybe my arguments are hyperbolic (by your standards), but your's are hyper-sensative (by mine) ... there's always going to be someone that says something is crap, in this case it's me, in another case it might be you ... get over it already, this country has become entirely too PC for it's good
