Re: New Doom PF?

Man the hood on the LSF is so much better. Why did they go with that sweatshirt hood on the PF?

I think it's just a problem making the hood fall down in the same way in that smaller scale. It's just so small that Newtonian physics won't apply in the same natural way on that scale.
 
Re: New Doom PF?

You didn't get what I was saying. I was saying that even if This piece had open hands like the LSF, then people would be complaining about that as they did with the LSF. People will complain, no matter what the sculpture is, they will find something they don't like.

No, I got that. As I said, I don't see what the LSF has to do with this piece. A direct comparison isn't relevant since they belong to each their own line. Doing one thing with the LSF shouldn't influence which direction to take the PF.

Still, though, when doing a direct comparison, there are some elements to the aesthetics, of the LSF, I'd like if they had transferred over to the PF.
 
Re: New Doom PF?

The Ex looks horrible.

A lot of peeps are saying this. I gotta say, I'm kind of surprised. While I'll be the 1st to admit that the EX isn't essential to the piece, I also don't think the EX is a throw away (like the modern Thor PF). He's had that gun holster (and obviously the gun in it) for as long as I can remember. Why do peeps find it odd to see him holding it? He has it for a reason. I'm cool with it and will definitely be displaying him with it. The REG is available to those thathate it and obviously peeps that order the EX aren't forced to display the gun. The only issue I have with the piece is the base. It's rather plain. IMO, everything about Doom himself looks great. I'm very much looking forward to adding this to my collection.
 
Re: New Doom PF?

I think what is holding a lot of people back is that this piece kind of lacks that overwhelming sense of terror that one would expect of this character. To be honest, he doesn't look all that intimidating in this design. I don't like his clenched fist. I don't think it fits the character. Clenched fists are generally reserved to the good guys, and not the villains.

:confused:

I love the LSF, but it's out of my price range but I also love this PF, well the figure anyway the base as many have said is a bit bland. As for the clenched fist idea. Doom kinda does it all the time though. Although I do wish his arm were raised a bit higher and farther away from his body...as if he were doing his famous "RIICHHAARRDSS" snarl after just being "defeated" if only for that battle.
 
Re: New Doom PF?

It's not that I don't like a clenched fists on a villain. It just looks a bit weak on this PF. He looks like a good guy, in terms of the pose. It might be the various Superman and Cap A releases that are distorting my opinion here. :)

Re: New Doom PF?

Exactly. He needs to look more aggressive. On the PF, his arm is closer to his torso, and it looks more like a defensive stance.
 
Re: New Doom PF?

Glad I sold the original ex when I did. It's not even close to the detailing we got in the throne on the original PF but a price point of 390 vs 2700 I can live without the throne. I like everything about this new doom. Revolver and all. Base is lack luster bUT it's a hell of a lot better then an A or an X. Day 1 for me. Easiest PO I've had in awhile . Doom with revolver = awesome
 
Re: New Doom PF?

I do not dislike this PF, it just didn't blow me away. Doom is not a must have character for me, so I am on the fence right now. Definitely waiting for SDCC to see what's coming up. It may come down to this or Lobo for me.
