This is a great statue. It definitely lives up to the word
"HYPERREAL."

it is quite gorgeous. Now it would be very difficult for me to resist if they did anything from Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower, House of Flying Daggers, or Crouching Tiger.

I'm wondering if it's the case that the Superhero genre seems "cheap" or childish in comparison, or, has it just been done to death, by so many companies, that it's just "run of the mill" now?

Exactly This piece actually got me thinking about other areas that would be great for a figure line.....I'd love to see a Runway Super Model line - like Victoria's Secret or Womens Beach Volley Ball Team / Sports celebrity line....

Oh, good Lord, a Zhang Ziyi statue done in this style? Now that would be hard to resist for me.

Superheros fatigue + costume phobia. We've been seeing too many of them for far too long. It's been non-stop.

Ended up pre-ordering this one. Love the look and it's just too nice to pass up for me.

It’s just society’s current perception of such things. Even while I do like my superhero representation, I know that to the bulk of the population it’s considered childish, and that perception colours all of our views no matter our own personal tastes. Whereas pieces representing ages gone by, of fantasy’s of their time, such as of Greek Gods and the other epics are considered art.

Heck, even statues of other non superhero movies, are considered to have that same childish/toy mentality attached, depending on their genre. Such as action, sci-fi, and fantasy. The only ones which may escape such consideration are pieces from dramas and the like.

For this piece in particular, given that nearly all of us on this forum are totally unaware of the property, makes it that much more unique and different than our standard fare.
