Zimm's Two Cents
This is another good piece by Jason, and I am enjoying the sneak peaks into the alternate version.

Points in Favor

• Realistic in the sculpting piece - he doesn't have an 8 or 10 pack stomach.
• Nice detail. The eyes are visible inside the helmet. The seams in the boots.
• I like the colors; however, you have to be okay with the 'shadow' effect that he puts in the colors.

Points Again

• Not an elaborate base. I realize that this is more of a museum pose piece, but I still like more in the base.

Recommendation: It is a good Buy; however, the real Buy is going to be the alternative piece coming out in a few weeks.

Robert's Two Cents
I like it. I think I would like the alternate version better. Zimm, I think the shadow effects that Bowen's artists put in most of the time are one of the biggest dislikes I have of Bowen's pieces. I've really liked that they've been doing less of that.

Points in Favor

• I love the helmet.
  
• The quarter makes the perfect base for Ant-Man
  
• Good pose.
  

Points Again

• Not a point against per se, but I'd almost like it to be smaller. It just doesn't seem to make sense to have an Ant-Man at this scale.

Recommendation: Buy; but I agree with Zimm the alternate is the one to get.

Is it Scott Lang or Henry Pym?
