SOTA Darksiders Samael

Did you guys see this in the newsletter? He looks pretty kick ass!
And if they are going to do more from this series I may pick up War on Ruin in the end.

I love the design of Samael. If I can swing it I'll pick this up.

I love Darksiders, and adore the art of Joe Mad, but not a fan of these Sota pieces. They seem to lack the finer details that separate collectibles made in 2012 vs the 1990's. If you look at the feet they are completely smooth. In game models may look like they have more detail then they actually have do to beautifully painted texture maps placed on them. It looks like they printed a in game model but failed to sculpt in the finer detail needed. Just my opinion anyway. Hoping we get some higher quality pieces down the road.

He had a cool design but I always wondered what was up with his "upside down" wings?

I agree, my biggest issue with the War piece (and this one too it seems) is that it's too bi-tone. There's only black and red when what made the game great was its use of color.....
