Finally we get a Sabretooth where you can see every muscle. This is how they are supposed to look. As I buy and sell statues going forward, I can tell you this, I will never ever sell this pair. Regardless of the Edition Size, this Sabretooth is a grail. SS really nailed the paint, sculpt, the portraits and everything on this piece. Okay I'm done ranting.
The word grail gets tossed around here a lot around. But You nailed it. This sabertooth is an absolute grail!

Yea a lot of people on here or the other forum use the term 'grail' because a piece is *usually* an older piece that only had a couple hundred made, that now goes for thousands on eBay. I use the term on pieces that are sculpted and painted to perfection (or close to).

Haha, it's catching. This piece is, dare I say, infectious?

We all have to make sacrifices

I know there are some great villains out there and at one point I almost went all in on Spidey villains but then the dreaded "where the heck am I going to put all of these things?" question popped up. Also, Thanos on Throne almost made me enter the villain arena. That statue was/is amazing.

I just got done watching Gem Mint's video where he praised the hell out of the piece but also said his one nitpick was the teeth weren't painted separate enough. Looks like my teeth came out much much better. I have ZERO complaints. BOTH portraits are ACE. The legs/arms are so nice, from the nails to the elbow spikes. They seriously feel/look real. He's also a beast size wise. He weighs as much if not more than Cables body which is huge. I don't regret this one bit. Here are some pics.

Here is a link to the album
Martin Canale is my favorite sculptor. Man is talented. I have mine but haven't opened it yet. Congrats!
