You are more than welcome. I'm glad to have done this as my opinion of Hasbro's Ronan Series Silver Surfer has improved slightly. I still prefer the Toy Biz sculpt, but my criticisms of the Hasbro fig are not as strident.

Hasbro Surfer: Pros (opinion)

Face - it looks more like what one would expect Surfer to look like given depictions in Annihilation and Annihilators

Hands - more utilitarian; could be blasting power cosmic or indicative of maintaining balance in a typical surfing posture

Board - Gleaming and reflective


Hasbro Surfer: Cons (opinion)

Head - pea-sized noggin is out of proportion with body

Sculpt - shoulders are narrow giving fig an almost teen-like appearance; trapezius muscles are over pronounced creating strange look

Board - very thin offering only one foot peg limiting where Surfer can be placed



Toy Biz Surfer: Pros (opinion)

Face - features large eyes; the look given to the character by Jack Kirby (intended to make him "obviously" alien looking)

Sculpt - many points of articulation creating a wide range of poses

Board/Feet - magnets in feet allow Surfer to placed at multiple points on board (portion of the board is a metal strip)

Paint - silver paint is accented with blue highlights (pics don't really demonstrate this); paint has metallic flecks (can be seen on some pics - my camera and camera-skills are both lacking Ha!)


Toy Biz Surfer: Cons (opinion)

Face - some may not like Surfer's bug-eyes

Sculpt - shoulders look a little wonky when arms are resting at sides due to additional shoulder hinge articulation

Hands - hand with index finger extended is silly looking

Board - clunky looking when held at Surfer's side
