Best Fantastic Four IMHO

The FF are my all-time favorite comic book heroes, but I am underwhelmed with the available full size teams. So I've mixed and matched what I consider to be the best statues of individual FF members, and I've finally completed the whole team. None of these were made to go together, but until someone puts out a better set, this is the best FF IMHO:


Hard Hero Thing, DST Premier Sue Storm, Alex Moraes Mr. Fantastic, and DST Silver Age Human Torch. I was on the fence about the Torch's pose, but it's grown on me. Plus the detailing of the Jeff Feligno sculpt best renders the Torch I grew up with -- including what I can best describe as Jack's "pinstripping" of Johnny aflame. Thanks to Eugene1979 for drawing my attention to this piece:


The crown jewel of this team is Mr. Fantastic. Alex, I am very fortunate to have one of your sculpts (and thanks to Alex655321 for first making me aware of this piece):

Your welcome Randy !

And I agree, this is the Best Mr. Fantastic out there.
Alex Moraes did a helluva job on him !

I also like your choice for the Thing I like the HH Version as well.

Looks great. I agree with all of them except the Torch. I prefer BDs version for that one. That Reed is so awesome though. Congratz

Torch would be better if he were more elevated off the ground, IMO.

I agree with your choices...but also believe the Torch should be higher off of the ground.

That Reed sculpt is FANTASTIC!
