Thanks all, you will not be disappointed! The texture and paint on the brown areas of his suit mimic real leather extremely well. The QC on this piece is perfect.

I built those PAX systems with the custom plexdoors about 3 years ago. I've got 9 of them, can't recall the exact cost but I think when all was said and done they were about $400-$500 each. Well worth the cost and with the proper bracing the shelves show no signs of bowing after 3 years. Installing the Plexiglas doors required some DIY skills but it is 1000% worth the effort, completes the display and takes it to the next level IMO.

Same here. The reg is the one I will display most often but the EX is a great option to change things up.

Wow I thought for sure I'd love the EX portrait more but it's just not doing it for me based on those in hand pictures. It does look a bit out of proportion compared to the body.

The normal head looks great tho! Now im wondering if I should go regular version outside of SS to save some money.

Yep, I've thought the same since day 1.

Some more pics using flash so you can see the texturing on the "leather" areas. Great job by SS on this piece

They look excellent together IMO. The scale and proportion of the two are perfect, and the colors on the two statues complement each other very well. I think I'm going to swap them so they're facing each other.

EDIT: The fine details on sabertooth are superior to the brown wolverine. The Sabes has sculpted stitches on the suit which add an amazing level or realism and nuance. The Brown wolverine doesn't have that level of detail.

That would look badass! Congrats!

...and your assessment makes waiting more worthwhile.
