Based on what I learned in art school, those armless busts--seen in museums around the world--are based on a misunderstanding. The Romans used to make their statues so the heads could be swapped out for others. Saves having to make a whole new statue when a new big wig comes along.Later sculptors, finding those head and head and shoulders sculptures, took them to be a form unto themselves.

Really like the Watcher, Angel and Quicksilver. Polaris is cool as well. Definitely prefer the ones with arms!

You know - if you cut that arm a bit at an angle and push it up against the wall, its like she's phasing through!

I feel there's potential there to make it look like she's phasing through a wall.

I didn’t even think of that! And my Eaglemoss custom Kitty was coming up halfway through the base.

Walgreens gets some great exclusive POPs, I really need to start visiting that store more often. I didn't even know this one existed.

Trip to Walgreens finds nada. Fortunately it’s close to a 5 Guys.
