Wish they hadn't done the base. Why the sudden change?
(And where are his trunks?)

I would have prefered a Gil Kane version JB but i liked this one much better than the DC Doomsday model and yes it's got no trunks on the Abomination he's nude.

Thankfully Abomination was a bubble character for me since I decided to buy some of the Marvels. I wasn't sure if I would get him or not. Now that I see the base, he definitely falls into the "not" category.

Hate the base...miss the pants. Adding trunks should be an easy fix...wonder if there's a way to get some spare bases...?
(I chuckle at the thought of a letter to Eaglemoss: "Yeah, my figurine came and it didn't have a base. It seemed funnier in my head, though)

After ordering a couple at my LCS (hopefully in this week) I just splurged and ordered 16 figures from Midtown....ouch.
Mr. Fantastic
Human Torch
Thing
Medusa
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Scarlet Witch
Angel
Phoenix
Power Man
Iron Fist
Spider-Man
Spider-Woman
Doctor Doom
Super Skrull
I really wish they would have done Nightcrawler and Storm in their original costumes.

just a couple of views of a concept SASQUATCH.
would be interested, JB, to get your thoughts on this sculpt; him being one of your "babies" so to speak.
cheers
Steve..
oh and well done Ryan...

I thought Yetis were meant to be white....or are "french Yetis" brown. ;-)
I think I'll wait for JB's reply.
