I do think it can be salvaged with a few tweaks:

1. Change the tie and the vest to the color's of the hoverchair version. There's less gloss and the colors fit the overall look.

2. Do something to the end of the pants. Bring them down a little lower, add a cuff, something.

3. Take a hammer and bump his forehead down a little. It's looks very elongated.

4. Actually, just do a whole new head sculpt with a concentrating look on his face. He needs to look like he's thinking/focusing, not like he's playing dead.

Hey Grumpy is it possible to post the video walkaround with XM that Bryan did on here or in the ACC thread? I think people will get a much better sense of details and size comparison and uniformity with a video.

To be fair Professor X was always going to be a difficult one to pull off for anyone, the risk he was going to end up looking like any old dude in a wheelchair was always there

The portrait looks like a guy with hair wearing one of those bald wig..things

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Me either, he looks dead inside. No emotion and too stiff.

These pics have so much distortion that it makes him look almost funny.

Look at the Asia con pictures and you will see that his head is totally normal. But something tells me no amount of reasoning with you will do....

And Gambit is a masterpiece, but on that part you are most certainly trolling.
