Look at his neck.
Something closer to Green Lantern's build would be better. And I mean Hal Jordan's...

Yup, you are correct. That would be a terrible seam no matter what.

Maybe I'm easily impressed, but I think he looks great.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Love that Flash! Once painted it will look incredible.

All of this.
And I love everything about this statue except the inflated physique. He needs to be dialed down a bit.
I hope this pricepoint is less than John Stewart. I think it’ll determine who goes for the whole JL and who just buys the trinity. Or we just get a small ES here.

Not the Flash IMO. This is Tweeterhead's first miss in the 2.0 era.

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

Looking at the pics the statue is a fantastic piece and I am anxious to see the painted version. Based on the fact that this is a statue of a super hero in a museum pose I feel the statue is a success.
Considering that this is the Flash, I would have expected something a little more. I am not even sure what though and maybe once it is painted I will be more impressed. I mean, I like the fact that this is a simple piece but in my opinion, I think that this pose would have been better suited for a character like Blue Beetle or even Aquaman or Superman.
As everyone has said on here and I believe I did as well, the sculpt is a little too muscular for the Flash. Now for some reason, Jay Garrick was always drawn to have a larger frame than Barry Allen (at least he seemed to be when I started collecting comics in the late 70's). Barry was muscular but not as muscular as other heroes.
Now the other thing that could be a positive point is that maybe since this is such a simple piece that the price will not be as expensive as John Stewart or the Scarecrow. I am also curious if this will have an exclusive and what will it be.

I do think that the other thing that we all need to remember is that the final design has to be approved by DC and maybe the design for the Flash that we are seeing could be the only one that they approved.
