That Grey Hulk looks a bit too "gorilla-ish" to my eyes...

In comparing the Kirby Hulk that JB was sculpting his bust from (in the Customizing thread) to these more recent versions that were posted above, I certainly see more emphasis on the Hulk baring his teeth...

Which reminds me, I've got a dentist's appointment to go to...

I would want to see other pictures of them to be sure, but at first glance I like this new line; I hope they do a Wonder Woman in this style.

I wish companies would show the actual product, instead of artwork...

The blobed hulk is really hideous.

The Superman and Green Lantern pieces look great, but I'd really like to see the actual sculpt.

The Superman and Green Lantern pieces look that way because
they're designed to look like their graphical
representations in the upcoming DC Universe Online MMO--for
those puzzled as to why they look so odd. Now I think those
look fine as in game characters, but as statues/figures?

not puzzled that they look odd. Puzzled why DC Direct has suddenly decided to show digital art-as-product instead of actual product. It's a dangerous move to not show the actual product when most of their product has to be pre-ordered. And most LCS' don't like it when you pre-order figures/statues and then not buy them when they turn out to look like doo-doo.

and then I'm surprised that Hal Jordan has a broken nose...
