Zimm's Two Cents
Sometimes there are charaters that you just do not like, and for me, this happens to be one of them. However, I have always found a way to step aside and provide an objective view. Case in Point: Mojo.

Points in Favor
  • Good Colors. Skin, eyes, costume, and square planet - they all have good color.
  • Details - Backward S, Bizarro Name Plate, Dirty teath.
  • Great Expression - confused anger.
Points Against
  • Hair - looks wrong, but isn't Bizarro's hair wrong anyway?
Recommendation: Pass. I haven't picked up that many from this series, and this will not be one of them. I'm not quite certain that it is a bad piece, but I just feel like it is not something that I would want to include in my random set of characters.

Robert's Two Cents
Meh. Sorry folks. I was offline most of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Points in Favor
  • The base is really cool. Bizarro World.
  • They did a great job on the costume.
Points Against
  • He's a bit too Frankenstein's Monstery.
  • He looks more like Solomon Grunday than Bizarro.
  • Skin should be more stony colored than zombified skin toned.
  • His expression should be less animated.
  • His hair shouldn't just look mussed. It should be completely disheveled.
Recommendation: Pass. That pretty much sums it up. That or I'm just being grouchy.
