Agreed.

I'd prefer to see the Sasquatch a tad taller to reflect his ten feet in height but the sculpt is great.

Barely avoided Landru's steely clutches.
(closest of calls yet!)

The Wrecker seems almost exactly the same as in the OHOTMU. Only his neck is taller in the statue...

I don't know about you all, but I don't want to dust all of my statues.  I bought this item from a local store.

All of the statues I own fit inside the cases, but I know tall ones won't.  You can get four statues into one case, which works nice for the FF, but not so great for the Sinister Six.

The diamond plate floor shown in the pictures is an optional piece of cardboard you can stick in the case.  The base is clear plastic.

My collection long ago outgrew any reasonably sized display case. (I flirted briefly with the idea of spotting the figures around the large cases in which I have my 1/24th scale diecast car models, since they are roughly the same scale, but decided against it).

Dusting is my only option! I usually do it while on the phone.

I use canned air.  I'm lazy that way.

JB: Sasquatch and Puck arrived yesterday. Somewhat startling to find Walt so LIGHT. Since the figure is not lead and Puck's is, Judd weighs about the same as Sasquatch!

A small repaint is needed on Puck's teeth, and I intend to black over his bare legs, but other than that I think the figures are nicely done.

Interesting to hear you prefer your later design of Puck's costume, JB. I like the bare legs version best -- he looks like a little furball. It's kinda... fun! :)

Ryan - Me Too! I find it's the best way to dust, especially on my larger statues because it cleans out between their fingers and around all the little details that I would be scared to break off if I were to dust with a feather duster or a cloth.

Blog update with a couple of sneak peeks. 

Prowler.  I've never seen or heard of this guy before joining the figurine forum and seeing so many people calling for him.  I still don't like him, but he might be decent custom fodder.  Nice pose, anyway.

Firestar.  Blech.  Boring!  Crystal version 2.0.  Come on, Eaglemoss!  Redheads deserve the best sculpts!

Looks like she's hiding a couple of oranges in her shirt.
