It just looks odd standing them side by side.  The Moon Knight figure looks like they gave him a body builders build compared to the build they gave Captain America.

I don't mind a sleeker Captain America and a bulky Moon Knight, but maybe you're on to something, Robert.  The way I have them set up, Cap is with the Avengers far away from Moon Knight who is with the loners.  They aren't next to each other, so I don't see much of a problem.

Some of the more recent Eaglemoss figures have show steroidic
tendencies.

Exactly.  Look at the wonderful Guardian figure. His legs have more muscle definition than any other figure in the line, probably larger as well.  That's what I'm getting at, I want Gladiator to be on the larger side, more imposing.

I've always wanted to really like the Gladiator but something about him never quite grabbed me visually.  His costume never felt quite right to me.  I like the design but the finished result seems incomplete.  I don't know if my idea solves it or makes it better but I thought I'd offer it as an alternative:

I have to pity the poor fellow who has to assemble Gladiator's magazine. I
know he's been around for 30 years, but there's not much of a character arc
there. What the devil do you talk about for 8 pages?

Say, has anyone tried to actually go to Midtown Comics and pick some up in person? I've been torturing myself over what to get a friend of mine for x-mas (work's been busy so I still haven't seen him since), and I just realized that he'd probably like several of these and probably hadn't bought any himself yet. So I thought maybe I'll just stop there on my way home from work. Has anyone done that, though?
