Ugly AND goofy looking, both at the same once! Instantly eclipses the Rhino
as my least favorite EM sculpt to date.

In the sculptor's defense, I offer that in having to literalize that character
design in 3D has exposed how ugly and goofy looking Doomsday was to
begin with...

If I pick up Doomsday, it'll only be to carve off the details and make him into another character.

doomsday is just an all around bad character. poorly conceived, poorly designed, poorly executed. and the figurine is ugly too.

It's an ugly character but I think it's not a bad sculpt since it does look like Doomsday even if I don't care for Doomsday.
The Rhino, on the other hand, is a bad sculpt because it doesn't look like Rhino. The hide should be smooth and he should be bulkier. It's annoying because Rhino is someone I wanted in my collection. I've never customized any figures but maybe if I can find a cheap Rhino some where I'll take a stab at bulking him up. I mean he couldn't end up looking any worse.

I'm still leaning towards customizing Juggernaut to make the Rhino.
And now, back to DC figures. . . .

…much rather study the facial features of THIS particular bat-foe:
••
That Catwoman face looks remarkably like an old girlfriend of mine, right
down to the tight-lipped grin.
I will offer no comment on the rest of the figure.

Same here, JB -- that Catwoman face has same smile as an old girlfriend of mine, AND the same eyes. Apparently we BOTH have good taste in women!

I don't know guys... That catwoman face looks a bit "Joker-gassed".
Not nearly as sly and sexy as Selina should be...
