John - I thought you were color blind? How can you tell Wendigo is blue??? Just kidding! I heard about that when I was a kid & I read your post about it on this site, so I understand. Bad joke. Shoot me!

As far as the blue, I believe that Randy said that's how his Iphone is making it look when he's taking the pics, but it doesn't look that blue in person.

...not a fan of Wendigo? Sigh...You do realize that most folks love the character because of Sal Buscema & you, right? :(

X-Factor, Astonishing, and a tweak to the Original Cyclops...

Never was a fan of the X-Factor version in comics form but in statue form, it looks kind of good.  Maybe it's just the boots.  They have a pearlescent quality that is intriguing me.

I also like stripes down the leg and I think if the stripe on his head wasn't there, it would look a lot better.

As others have stated, he's a little too beefy.

For clarity's sake -- "color blind" does not mean blind to color. "Color confused" would be a more accurate term, in most cases. Often people who are "color blind" "swap" colors. Red for green, for instance.   In my case greens and browns tend to get jumbled. As Roger Stern delights in telling, I read the early appearances of Iron Fist thinking he wore a brown costume.

This brings up the old question of whether any of us truly see the same colors. We all look at, say, Superman's cape, and we agree that it is "red". But if we could somehow swap eyes, would we necessarily still be seeing the same color? Maybe your red is my blue, my blue is your yellow, etc. Since light has no INHERENT color, and the colors we see come from how the cells in our retinas respond to stimulation by that light, it's not entirely unlikely that we each live in worlds painted in very different color schemes.

Just arrived from HLJ... 

Always wanted to get one of X-Plus' Godzilla figures and the opportunity to order the 1989 Godzilla vs. Biollante version was not going to be passed up!   Gonna have to find a new place to display him, since his tail will take up too much space on my figure shelf once assembled.

Had to find room for the Bowen Ant-Man. Nicely done. The base may be the largest counterfeit coin this side of the giant penny in the Batcave!
