I have two pet peeves when it comes to busts. Action poses and large bases. This one's got both.

I can live with an action pose on a bust, every now and then, but the big base is something I can't get past. The focus of a bust should (obviously) be the character and a large base detracts from that. Especially this particular base, which draws way too much attention to itself.

Bad base!

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

If the price is low enough, I'd be interested in getting it. But I would definitely want it professionally mounted on a new base. I don't need Iron Man popping out of a spotlight on top of a movie theater marquee. I get it, Koto. It's a MOVIE bust. You don't have to shove our noses in it!

I feel bad for retailers that over order this crap. They will be lucky to unload these at cost.

You should see what they did with the SDCC excl. Hulk bust, that base is plain disgusting.

I didn't even see that Hulk bust until you pointed it out! That base is hilariously bad! It almost looks like the Hulk is impersonating the Tasmanian Devil!
