Don't worry Didier, I will be in Hong Kong one of these days and I will definitely look you up.

Same for you if you are ever in Shanghai. Let me know.

Hmmm, that Adams B&W is one to get. I've collected so far: Bolland, Wagner, Rude, Pope, and Ross. Really want the Mignola piece!!

More shots of the Odin Full scale.



Apologies to Randy Bowan quoting him from another forum.

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------
Randy -
I hesitate even showing these because of the different colors of clay I'm using, and I don't want people to be confused by the current 'look'.

The "mail" shirt when finished will resemble dragon skin once it's detailed and painted.

There's also going to be a big-a$$ sword on his right hip, two ravens (one on his shoulder, one on the ground at his feet, and an extremely detailed base.

As I mentioned previously he'll also have a change-o-hand holding a battle axe.

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------


I resisted this hobby pretty well up tell now......

JB, I know this isn't a well known piece but I certainly see the similarity to the statue (which I just picked up today).  Could this be what you were thinking of?

First of all, the Odin is, clearly, the most OMNIPOTENT statue ever! Oh
well, now my Thor statue will have his daddy!

Speaking of Gods... the Lion of Olympus arrived for me today:





Also, the little lead Vision:


Seems more a Neal Adams Vision than even a Buscema one, but it's a
close call.

I'm enjoying.

G--now hoping for a Warriors Three bust set!

My problem with both Vision statues is that their attempt to remain accurate to Avengers #57 image means there's no neck string for his cape!  To my eyes, that just makes the Vision look "wrong."

The Vision may be my favorite of the figures so far. Really captures the character -- and, I must say (registering my only complaint with these figures so far), it's nice to have a normal-proportion male figure who isn't just standing there. There have been too many of those -- including Spider-Man and Nightcrawler, who really should be crouched.

Hey, Gary Lee! Does your Vision have a kinda "sloppy" paint job, with brush strokes visible?
