And to think I thought you were referring to their statues and not their business practices.

i'm getting my first HH marvel statue (silver surfer) soon.. i'll take pics. from what i've seen so far they look very cool (classic old style)! i like Seth's clean design he's sculpted so far.

I think Hard Hero does a great job of producing decent statues. Very clean, very well done pieces.

I really like what they're doing. Some of you guys have mentioned the "comic book" look they go for, and that's a big part of their charm for me. They ARE based on comic book characters, after all... and I think it sets them apart from the stylings of Bowen Designs and Sideshow.

The Cap sculpt was the one that really got my attention. Something tells me that these have the potential to be big hits on the secondary market. Similar to the first ten Bowen Designs busts, they may sit around to start with... but I feel that some collectors will be scrambling to catch up down the road.

Their character selection has been interesting so far... a good mix with plenty of heavy hitters still waiting in the wings. I'm a big fan of the X-Men, but I particularly like the way they're coming out the gate with Defenders and Avengers characters. I can't wait to see who's next.

I like them alot, I plan on getting the surfer and the capt. The namor I have to see which I would get bet this one and bowen . IF bowern comes out with the variant, I would go with the hh and the bowen variant !

I`m getting all the ones i`ve seen so far and maybe 2-3 Hawkeyes so one of them can be customed with ant man on the arrow tip.

I like them too -- Like Bowen's better to be honest.
