Zimm's Two Cents
I tend to prefer the villains or heroes with masks, but this piece called out to me. I like it. It is increadiblly different from the other pieces, and Troy McDevitt did an incredible job on the piece.

Points in Favor
  • Chrome Base - Nice simple touch referencing the pinball machine.
  • Good facial expression and characteristics.
  • I like all of the detail in the jacket, vest, shirt and gloves.
  • Even the facial expression, hair and eyes are awesome. Especially his eyes - a little bit of crazy, a tad bit of bags, and nicely painted.
Points Against
  • If I nick-picked, I might find something, but to be honest, I like this piece too much.
Recommendation: Hot Buy. This is one of those that I definitely want to order.

Robert's Two Cents
I love Arcade. So anything I say here is biased. He was the villain in one of the first issues of the X-Men I ever read.

Points in Favor
  • He looks like Arcade.
  • The captured him in a pose.
  • I love the bow tie.
  • The expression is Arcade.
Points Against
  • I'm not 100% sure he had freckles.
Recommendation: Hot Buy. It's freaking awesome!
