Robert - now I can't un-see that...
JB - what I liked about Kirby's Thor was that, without needing said historical accuracy, it still managed to convey to readers 'Norse' and 'God'* - as well as the all-important superhero element. Of course, this being a modern superhero movie, we can't have the heroes looking like those silly comicbook superheroes, though, can we?
*It's a bit like what you've said on many an occasion about Stan Lee's gift with superhero names - it's not so much about actually resembling something (Cyclops doesn't have 'one eye' exactly, and Medusa's flowing locks clearly aren't snakes!) as it is instantly getting the message across through a kind of shorthand.

Final pics of these two and finally they are together. Interesting that they included the assault rifle on the base. It is apparently removable.

I hadn't seen this before, but was down at the comic shop and thought it was great. This is the best of those bust banks I've seen, so I picked it up. It really looks fantastic. Not bad for $20.

Picked this up this week. While it looks nice,I was a little disappointed with the scale of this compared to the Enterprise-D I picked up a couple weeks ago. It's actually even smaller than the Enterprise-B that they did. That's my only nitpick.

Anyone seen this yet? It's a Superman action figure based on JB's artwork.
I thought the figures based on Kirby's artwork from a few years back were pretty well done, but I'm just not seeing JB here. Thoughts?

…and I have NO idea where they got the head!

Rich:I bought that figure loose at a comic convention a year or so ago!
It came in a box set 4-pack of re-issued prior-release figures with some new heads.

To me, the head more closely resembles Joe Staton or Erik Larsen's
work.

I'm still contemplating getting that Enterprise-E. I've got the D coming this week, and a back order for the original (my LCS only has the Mirror Mirror version in), but aside from them I don't really think I need or want any other versions. However, First Contact is my favourite of the Next Gen movies, and that's where the E made it's debut...

For now,it looks like the original and Wrath of Khan versions will be the last two they have coming out(both have March 6th availability dates). Sadly,no love for the Enterprise-C from Diamond Select as that's the only one they're not doing at present(and of course that's one that I really would like to have).
