Oh, that's funny, because I thought people were hating this for not being action-oriented.
I don't think the statue is that bad on it's own, but, when compared to the quality of the other pieces; yeah, it could use some work.
I always liked the fabric suit from the DCD statue. I get what they're going for with this one, but, here's my theory: GL's suit is created by his imagination and will, right? Well, wouldn't he be more suited to imagining something familiar, such as fabric, than he would be to some sort of pure energy metal construct?
