Zimm's Two Cents
I've been dying for a good Green Lantern Statue. This one looks great, but after Robert's two cents from the last one, I can only perceive it as a bust.

With that said....

Points in Favor
  • Great Colors.
  • Love the flame/energy going from the 'base' into his fist.
  • Like the clean sculpting in the body and face.
  • I like the green energy/flames on this one.
Points Against
  • Paint between the hair and forehead.
Recommendation: Neutral. I like pieces of it, but I only see a bust.

Robert's Two Cents
It's a bust. This one is the closest to pull off what I think they're doing.

Points in Favor
  • The green flame effect is the best effect usage in this series. Aquaman's water may be a close second.
  • It's the classic Hal Jordan costume., I'm wrong it's not.
Points Against
  • His hair isn't quite right. I miss the grey at his temples.
  • Facial expression is a bit off.
  • The pose seems a bit awkward, especially if we're supposed to think there are legs under the green flam effects.
  • I'm not sure I like the way the green energy effect is working around his right hand.
Recommendation:Pass . Not crazy about it. There have been other GL pieces I've liked better and I'm pretty sure there will be others I will like more in the future.

I think Hal lost the grey temples when they extracted the Pharallanx from him, the yellow impurity, right?

Parallax? Yeah, I think so, but I don't have to think it fits. Of course, Hal deaged Green Arrow when he resurrected him too.
