Do the initials really bother you that much?

Personally, I thought the piece was fantastic. An excellent and well concieved rendition of Namor. The skin tones and shading/ highlighting are fine. Perhaps a little too critical? The fact that the initials "RB" had to be pointed out by you also perhaps shows a little over examination of the piece.

I feel this statue is just like every other sculpture/ drawing/ painting, etc, etc... if you look for flaws, you will find them. I'm not trying to be critcal of your opinion of the piece, it's just that I think some of the complaints are pretty minor on a full size with this much detail involved. Thanks.

No slams intended.

My two cents

For ish's short attention span's sake. all observations made from Bullseye's statue, that I ordered and am shortly sending on its way to Ireland

1) base sucks. Appropriate for a fish tank, but not for my statue collection. Also, be careful handling this, you could snap parts off (like the sea horse)

2) don't like the pose, in that if you put it up high he's looking into your ceiling. it would be better to display this at eye level

3) nicely sculpted, but pretty generic. the spear is the best part of it.

Conclusion: hard hero's tops bowen's easily

A little over examination? Really? As I said the Sculpt is great usually RB engraved would be somewhere that is not on top of the base... I dont care if its on the back but on top... I mean we all know he sculpted the piece... Now as far as the paint applcation goes it whouldve looked more like the bust... The skin tones on the statue are too dark... at least on mine anyway... maybe others are different...
