Only a few things more that I can say about the statue, that I haven't already said about the busts.....but there are a few points.

Points in Favor
  • Again - the sculpting is great on this piece. I especially like the skully and jacket. I even like how the belt piece stands out a bit.
  • The base, while simple, maintains some key features that any collector would enjoy - one of which is the white road stripe in the center.
  • Interchangeable left hand - nice!
Points Against
  • For some reason, and it may only be me, but the bottom half of the torso does not seem to align with the top torso. And while I have thought about it a lot, it may be something as simple as a costume design (which has nothing to do with the sculpting). The pants have no pockets, which make them seem flat when matched to such a well sculpted upper torso. Or it could be the coloring.
Recommendation: Buy. I love the Danny Ketch museum version, and I think that this piece merely comes down to a personal preference.
