Movie Juggernaut bust From GG/DST.(update)

Juggy looks alright.
Picked it up today for $35(got a special discount from my LCS )
#75 of 5000, will get my new camera next week and see if I can post some pics then!
Don't have enough time so I'll just make a brief description on this Piece. Sorry for all the grammer problems and immature judgments.

The eyes got a very nice glossy look, and the fur on chest looks pretty natural and good as well.
The pose looks a bit weak from sides, but looks great from front. The bolts on his leather outfit were individually painted. Very movie accurate muscles.
The cracks on helmet was highlighted with brownish rusty color, and the base looks nice and metallic.
Juggy also has the best likeness IMO...
Now I got more time so I'll talk more about this piece.
The biggest problem among this bust is the character design, not much folks out there really appreciate this puny movie look, other than that, the sculpt is good, and the paint apps is not too bad as well.
The piece I got has another problem, which is the black highlight on his outfit, it's kinda sticky, seems like it didn't dry out completely....
Many folks also said the scale is too small, but It looks fine to me
This line is in scale with Bowen MB, but they couldn't fit in well due to the complexity of design, the reality looks of face etc...movie style is just too different from comics.....
But they'll make a good display by themselves.
I was very disappointed by the muscle suit of Juggy in movie stills, but it turned out fairly good in movie, although it looks puny compare to comic ver., but it's still big and beefy and powerful in real live.
Buy it or not? It highly depends, if you love the movie, grab it, a nice accurate edition of this character, if you dislike the movie, it's ok to pass.
The production run is high, for 5000; you can still find it with very low price on bay afterward.
Couldn't make decision when the pics were out, but the details looks pretty decent on actual piece, so no more doubt, it's mine!
Only have a few pieces from DST in my collection, this is one of them, I personally like this depiction a lot, and this bust sure grown on me pretty quick! I'll grade it with 3 out of 5. (Thanks to Bat_collector for this scale)
thanks for looking.

I picked up #16, not the best but still looks pretty cool together with the other X3 busts.

Does everyone here know that the stomach and arms were prostheses?

Looks pretty good as far as being based on the movie. I'm really interested in the Phoenix bust for the movie. Anybody have a pic of what she will look like?

The sculpt on this looks great, exactly like the movie. Whether to buy it all comes down to whether you like the movie version of the character.
