Best and Least XM Favorite Statues / Concepts from STGCC

[Lockdown]

I am going to vote on the newer statues/ concepts only

Painted/unpainted statues:

1. Blackbolt
2. Medusa
3. Witchblade
4. Kraven
5. Dr.Strange

Concepts/ 3D renderings:

1. Batman

I am loving this take on Batman, so much details, switchouts, and the pose on top of a ruined Japanese roof top. These characters work well with this theme. I can see this in a dark comic strip/movie.

2. Darkness
This going to be so huge and detailed. Can't wait to see who's next.

3. Ghost Rider
This is definitive GR on a blazing hell cycle.

4. Boba Fett
This looks dynamic unfortunately nothing furthermore shown

5. Venom
love the idea of Venom smashing thru the clock tower.

6. Black Panther

Least

Classic Ironman- the concept looks amazing but looks too skinny.
maybe it's too classic looking and doesn't have that XM flare/details to it. Not liking the round base.

Star Wars- haven't really seen all the concept yet.

Based on Painted Statues only..

Best Top 3 XM for me

1. Ms Marvel - Her portrait is just beautiful.
2. Daredevil
3. Thanos

Not the best for me (Not really worst but perhaps not on par with the others)

1. Elektra
2. Thor
3. She Hulk - Her new portrait is really beautiful but thats about it..

If she didn't have Sais in her hands, I wouldn't know what the hell she is doing. I would have thought a table top dancer or something like that.

Elektra is a character that is a fighter, and she is involved in lots of battles. So to best represent her martial arts and fighting skills, she should have been doing something like slashing her sais or doing something with a sword in a more dynamic pose. For me, it is important to represent what a character does in statue form. I often think much less of museum poses because they aren't doing nothing but standing there and looking stupid or arrogant or something along those lines. There needs to be some context with a character...at least as far as I am concerned.

This is one of the reasons why I am so uninthralled with a lot of SS AD because they play it too safe, or do something that has no representation to the powers of a character (Emma Frost, Rogue) just to name a few. Give me some meat and not some milk. I will reiterate that a museum pose every now and then is ok for characters that it represents, but there are too many simple poses and that unnerves me to no end. I want action and excitement.
