I liked that Wonder Woman quite a bit, until I noticed the absolutely horrible articulation. Her limbs make her look like some kind of deformed cyborg.

I think she's a knockoff/repaint of an earlier version that didn't have knee and elbow articulation. The head looks new, though.

I had posted this in the Iron Man movie thread earlier, but then thought it would be more appropriate here. I checked back about 7 pages and didn't see anything on it yet, so...
Life-Size Movie Iron Man Bust
JB, you had mentioned buying the costume from the upcoming Iron Man toy collection so you could have the helmet for the wall, but I think this would be much much better...

He whose limbs shatter mountains, and whose back scrapes the Sun!
Storebought and homemade…
And the original, one and only…

Very cool, JB!
And yours holds its own against the store-bought version; yours has a sort
of Aurora Monster model charm to it!

I agree. Even in contrast to the store bought Fin, JB's homemade version looks impressive. Looking at them, though, my first thought was: if they both came to life, who would win in a fight? The store Fin has the advantage of size, but JB's looks pretty scrappy.

I totally agreed with you until that BatGirl bust came out. Been hooked ever since.
I still can't get with the busts that are actual busts....(the ones that end at the bottom of the torso and the remainder of the sculpt being a thick stem). I'll pass.

Something rather conspicuous by its absence there!
