It isn't any better from the front, I'm afraid. He's so stocky and they chunky manner in which they sculpted his thighs -- combined with the squatting pose -- looks almost comical. The JH looks like he's stepping towards you in confrontation. This looks like a toddler turning in the direction of a sound they just heard.
I'm seeing a lot of great detail work, but the proportions and shapes of the body don't evoke the character at all.
Easy pass. Maybe the bust will be a more flattering base for those dynamite headsculpts.
I like the severed arm, crazy as it sounds. Would be cool to place next to the bust.
