Thanos - is it because he looks like a guy in a Batman suit instead of, you know, Batman? Like Routh looked like a guy in a Superman costume instead of Superman himself?

I see that similarity myself, if that's what's bugging you.

I agree, Brad.  That B&W Batman statue is very mundane.  It looks like a slightly out of shape dude in a somewhat ill-fitting Batman costume (in other words, an Alex Ross painting in 3D).  It doesn't look like BATMAN.

Agree on the "Batman" sculpt. Ordinary guy in ill-fitting homemade costume. Definitely NOT Batman!

Picked up an interesting Godzilla diorama figure today, sculpted by Yuji Sakai:

It depicts Godzilla's first appearance in the movie GODZILLA VS. THE THING.

(Not a great photo of it, since the actual colors are much better than shown here)

Awesome, I'd like it even more if he had legs.

Well, in the past, Bandai has released many full-body Godzilla mini-dioramas (also sculpted by Sakai-san) as random "trading figures":

But for this series, they wanted to do something different:
