It looks as if Red Tornado is on his own base.  You'd still have all the pieces that come with the other characters, but it reads as if you could display the others without the Tornado.

Ah, yes. I had not noticed the divisions between the bases. Good. That
would also make it easier to do a small repaint on Green Lantern.

I must seek these out!

You not a Red Tornado fan JB, or do you just think he doesn't belong in that statue?  I think Atom, Martian manhunter and Green Arrow are conspicuous by their absence

I feel the same about the missing Manhunter Ari.

Count your blessings. Since this statue is apparently based on the cover
image seen below, be glad they didn't leave out the Flash in favor of
some other loser!




(Noticing they copped-out on the Canariy's fishnets, too. I may have to
take this off my "Must Have" list.)

I had no idea!  Given the line up, I'd assumed it was an earlier incarnation of the league.  And how can you have Black Canary without her signature fishnets.

The pieces that make Red Tornado are split among the three statue sets, so I
think it should be easy to leave him out.

Unfortunately, because of that you end up buying him whether you want
him or not.

I think the Wonder Woman figure is head and shoulders above the rest in that piece.  Objectively speaking.

Ooh, ooh! I know! You're gonna get rid of the "crotch arrow", right?

Well, since I have decided to pass on this model, I guess not!

But I will be repainting the Eaglemoss GL for just that reason, if I ever get
one!

Despite the belt, I love that sculpture of Wonder Woman; I think it's the best I've seen so far.  (So many other scultpures make her look so harsh.)  I'm glad the pieces are sold seperately since I only collect Wonder Woman memorabilia.  I can live with Batman and Wonder Woman together, but I'm tempted to see if I can remove Batman without damaging Wonder Woman or making the piece wobbly.
