So I am just fine with the figure. Some have said they think the Doomsday figures (Bound and Unleashed) are too big. I can see the argument if you look at the original artwork.

The same thing happens with my favorite character Venom, as his size seems to constantly change depending on who is drawing him. In the McFarlane and Larson eras, they always drew Venom as a beefy Brock Lesnar type with no neck who was a few inches taller than Spidey, while Bagley drew Venom as less bulky but with a more cut and refined build, almost like pro wrestler Triple H. Romita Jr. always would draw Venom as really tall and almost lanky, while lately artists like Tony Moore have depicted Venom as this giant Hulk or Juggernaut sized behemoth of streaming black poo and muscles stacked upon themselves to the point that they look more like tumors coming out of his body..

That said...I think Doomsday has a good size too him. Not too big...not too small. He looks just right.

Scored this today at TRU for only $15 bucks, as all Kreo's were on sale for 1/2 off the listed price (so, half off of it's $30 dollar clearance price.) Been a long time since I've been rewarded so well for being so patient, and I'm super stoked to finally have my Kreo H.I.S.S. Tank!!!
