Late to the party, but finally got this in house. Now in hand, this sculpt is even better than I suspected, (if that's possible!?). The sculpting detail, the pose & sense of balance, & of course the incredible base, make this a true masterpiece.
Now for the nay sayers who complained about scale? BS!!!!!! First off, this piece should be judged as a full fledged diorama, & not as a simple comiquette figure depiction. Why(?), simply because this kick-ass base cannot (should not) be ignored, & is obviously a huge component to this sculpt. If categorized as a dio, this sculpt is plenty large.
Secondly, for those who would argue that two characters are needed to deem this a dio? Well, there are. Just one of them happens to be dead. How cool is that? Once again, Viggiano's subtle genius shines throughout this work, & I pity those who can't appreciate it.
And finally, to those who keep moaning & groaning about not being able to match this up with their existing statues? Complete rubbish, as this piece was always meant to stand alone (as I suspect that most of SS pieces are). DD perched atop a loved one's tombstone, simply says it all. No back-up, mixing & matching, or other super heros needed, period.
If collectors would take the time to really look at what is truly being offered, & judge a piece on it's intended basis, I think all the scale BS will be rendered silly at best, & deaf, dumb, & blind at it's worst.
Quality & execution over shear scale,...................... always!
