Re: New Doom PF?

After having some time to put this Doom on display and look him over, I have to say he's amazing in every way. This is the best 1/4 Doom statue I have ever seen. For me, the pose is majestic and menacing at the same time. The swap out portraits are fantastic and the fact his hood and cape can be adjusted adds to your display options. While the base certainly could have been better, it doesn't take anything away from the figure itself because it looks so good. I've always felt a great looking base adds a lot to a piece. However, if a base looks fantastic but the figure doesn't, it's an automatic pass for me personally.

I have waited a long time for a standing Doom in 1/4 scale. This PF was definitely worth the wait. Thanks to SSC and Ray Villafane for such an incredible statue. I'm a big fan of Ray's work. I hope there's more PFs coming from Ray in the near future. The man is a phenomenal talent.

Re: New Doom PF?

Ok wow. This statue is fantastic. Disregard my other posts about the foot not fitting in. I got it just right. For those of you stressing over the cape and how long it'll take to sculpt. Don't worry about it! It took me literally 5 minutes. I was inspired by N3RDGASM's manipulation but had to make a few changes to fit it in my display. He's bigger than I imagined. Weight is fine. Paint is great. Base looks fine to me. Matches well with Ultron's. Easily my favorite villain statue (I own Doom, Red Skull, Ultron and Galactus). Here are some of my cell phone pics!

The cape is so amazing! I hope they adopt that for all capes now, no more sculpted capes!

I actually still prefer sculpted capes. But this is the best fabric one I've dealt with. The wires are very sturdy unlike the ones in Red Skull's jacket.

I just think capes like this would help with the lean issues. If there really are any because of the capes.

I'd, I think it offers a little more exclusivity since every cape is different.

I remember a few weeks ago with the first in hand pic at a trade show or something. Everyone saying he looked terrible. It had me worried. But it seems now this is getting the praise it deserves! Glad most people are liking it! Oh and to add, my art box also came in flawless condition thanks to the foam bumpers on the inside.

YOUR BOX WAS MINT :thud: That in of itself is something that deserves praise haha. I wasn't really in this thread a lot AND THEN I seen a production piece overview and really just kicked myself. All hail Doom :lecture
 
Re: New Doom PF?

Size is better than expected (as is the whole statue), but I still think he should be bulkier. From the pic in the previous page, you can see he's more or less as massive as Cap. I'd expect Doom to be a bit larger than that, the tall base and wide cape also make him look bigger.
Overall very nice, btw. Sculpt is solid.

Dr. Doom Ex #810 in the house! He's worth every penny! Forget that Throne Doom.

I think the figure on this Doom is a dramatic improvement over the original. Just the swap out portraits alone make it better IMO. Add the standing pose, the EX gun hand, adjustable cape and hood, and all the little details (added to the leather belt, gun holster, the metal cape holders)....this Doom figure soars above all others. The original PFs base runs circles around the new one but as I've said before, the figure is always what is most important to me. Either way, there's now two 1/4 Doom statues for everyone to choose from. I have the one I want in my collection.

The hood looks unnatural somehow.

It most certainly does if you take it out of the box and don't futz with it. Out of the box, the hoods opening is too circular and the top of the hood shoots straight up and to a point. It looks very unnatural. Adjustments to the hood must be made in order to correct that. Believe me, once that's done, it looks fantastic. Just look at SSC's assembly video on this piece. He looks amazing at the end of the video.
