HAAAAAAAATE the seams!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the only thing I wasn't happy with, not sure why they put them on.  I thought maybe someone had drawn him with seams and this was a piece done from that. But the sculpt of his face, actually both faces, is just beautiful.  Also I love the metal claws.

They could have done one seam down the back of the leg and it would have looked lot better.

As much as I love the material on it, I wonder if you could remove the material, do a custom paint job on it, it would maybe then look better, heck even keep the belt as an add on. He got it for an amazing price. Marvel is moving their offices so they were clearing out samples they had.

Note another of my pet peeves on the Wolverine ad -- whoever typed up the copy failed to realize comicbook fonts come with "upper" and "lower" case versions of serifed letters, like a capital I. So to get all "upper" case they most likely hit CAPS LOCK, and you end up with serifed letters inside words, when they should be (and rarely) only at the beginning.

I hope the plastic energy fists are optional display items.

Just checked the Kotobukiya forums...  Yep, they're apparently optional: [Link]

Nice Ms Marvel!

Might dig the Wolverine if it were in the JB costume. Always hated the
yellow one.

OK this is just all kinds of cute, but I just went to see how much it is and it runs around $50, just a little too much, for cute.
