I agree that GUARDIAN MB sucks. I've been hoping a kit would come out that was better. Perhaps Charles will be our salvation.

Thank you, John Peter Britton. I would give all my clay for your drawing ability. :) I have to admit, everyone's kind words are really motivating me. I have a lot of creative issues to break through. Thank you!

I hope we're not talking about this…
'Cause I think that one is most excellent. Especially the colors!

yeah...that's the one....ugg !
Hard to tell from that photo, but on mine, the head seems too skinny for the shoulders. Also, the lips on mine look like Mick Jagger. The helmet looks like a cowl and nothing like how it was drawn in the comic (by Byrne at least) -- and while some may like the shiney red, I personally always figured he was wearing a cloth (not metallic) suit covering the actual super-suit. Even more nit-picky (on my part), I don't like the musculature of the sculpt.
Just personal preferences. Had this sculpt been any other non-Alpha Flight character, I would not have bought it.

Would you guys like a full body sculpt or would you prefer something like JB posted?

The body isn't bad (though I never saw Mac (or the suit) as being so cut and defined), but I hate the head, undersized compared to his bod and with the Batman-cowl nose.

Let's face it, Ryan, there are, like, four people in the world who recognize
what Guardian's helmet is supposed to look like, and you and I are three of
them! I have pretty much resigned myself to that.
The rest of that bust, tho, is spot on.

Found this on a toy forum. Nothing but big robots in those display cases.
Now excuse me while I find a bank to rob. No, wait. Those don't have money anymore, do they?

Whenever I see pic like this, part of me is jealous and part of me thinks it is a
waste of money. Mostly jealous.
