i went to art school, they drill that stuff into your skull, not trying to be a hater but it's bugging the mess out of me.

I know what you mean, I took art classes since I was a kid to highschool, so proportions are a visiual key. I agree fully with your statement, and to anybody out there not sure what we mean. Check the size of his bicep/tricep portion of his arm compaired to his stomache, it's basically the size of his entire rib cage. Also if his hand was laying straight down by his side , his fingers would be hitting knee level. I think statues are great for the attention to detail and the ability to represent an epic pose that us normal collectors can't pull off with regular figures and bases. My only hate on busts/statues, is that action figures have come a long and evoled from mego figures is the 60'-70's to the Hot Toys we now know and love. The attention to detail in their figures is rediculous and statues should strive to be more like it. In the sence of led's, some functional moveable parts, or removable pieces. Moving eyes, as the ex mentioned earlier could of had Shang Tsung with his hat roating around and around, while his eyes switched appearance from life to death. do that and I'll buy 1 lol.
