My thoughts exactly.

I'm really disappointed with the GL construct. The green color scheme looks like its a knock off. They seem to have changed something from the initial prototype they showed in their YouTube video earlier.

A bit disappointed in how this one turned out. I think they went a bit overboard with the construct. It looks cool and all but I cringe at the amount of display space it’ll require. Sadly neither this nor Tweeterhead’s GL completely do it for me. Like both, love neither.

That's a lot of green...
With this construct just on one of his side, he still remained sufficiently threatening, and above all more visible.
But even with his mountain of guns, I like it.

It's growing on me the more I look at it... I think better lighting will make this statue stand out more....

You see Darkseid behind him? He's HUGE...

It’s growing on me too. I think I still prefer XM over TH, which is the decision I need to make. Might come down to price point for me.

If the construct wasn’t attached to the rock base and it was only Jordan standing there with his ring out and ready, I would still love this piece. Like Hellboy said, it’ll come down to price point on this, which is going to be high.

As someone who owns all the TW DC statues so far, their statues are very cartoon like, like ripped from the comics 30-40 years ago.... I'm not sure how well they will go with XM's 1:6 DC statues as they are a bit more realistic and modern looking... I'm thinking the two different styles might clash if you put them right next to each other.

With certain pieces I’d agree. Wonder Woman & Donna Troy for example are a bit too “cartoon like” to fit in with the realistic approach XM seems to be going for. While pieces like TH’s Martian Manhunter and Joker I feel blend in just fine. This is why I’ve decided to cherry pick from each line to build my preferred DC lineup in this scale.
